they did the same thing with the mazdaspeed miata and failed to crack that ECU a few years back as well.

Maybe so, but see below for posts in a different thread than the one cited above by whoseawhatzit. The way I read these posts is either you all are right and they're lying, OR they have cracked the ECU, are working on other mods, and dealing with a number of complex tuning issues on a complex, "high resolution" ECU:

...As for the ECU cracking, no problems. Things are going very smoothly on that front. We're in and working through everything, so it's all well within the realm of possibility. ....
Thanks,

...We're reflashing the ECU now and building the software tools, but tuning has been somewhat limited due to the fact we're also doing hard parts on our Speed3. ...After GT Live (end of April), I get to use it as my daily driver again while we refine the tuning!! Can't wait!
Cheers,
Trey @ COBB

when i last spoke with cobb tech support they would not confirm for me that they had not only cracked the ECU but had been able to stick a reflash on it that actually held. not to mention the release date has been pushed back more often than not, as well as the MS6 system all but officially having been canned.
as i've said a million, well more like a zillion times, if and when they make it viable i'll support it 110%. mazda ECUs have been notoriously difficult to crack and to reflash and actually make the program stick by anything outside of dealer WDS systems. many companies arguably more experienced than Cobb have tried and failed, so between that bit of history and the lack of real enthusiasm on thier part since - even by your own posts above - April, you'll have to understand my skepticism.
this doesn't even address the possible shortcomings of ECU reflashes which have already been covered here and other places many times before.

Well, you're right. I can understand not wanting to provide a release date, but not their refusing to confirm whether they have been able to re-flash the ECU or not. Anyway, I 'm sorry I started a back-and-forth on Cobb's potential EMS release on a XEDE EMS release thread.
