Exactly. Genius has a perfect feature. It can bypass TPROT security and allow to to flash TPROT ecus without having to open the ecu to unlock it at the first place. You just flash your mod by OBD like you would on any other non TPROT ecu. (Although on TPROT ecus reading function is not available)
But the problem is, that you need to checksum the file with Race Evo on these ecus. Anything else will not work.
Tested read & write fail on Toyota
Part II: genius k touch config files free download:
If you got genius k touch full kit from cardiagtool.co.uk site, all of following config files will be included in the CD.
If you found the loss of any file, you will find following download link by cardiagtool.co.uk is very useful.

Race evo uses setting files in order to work. And you need valid license and hasp dongle in order to open the editor.
