Pure speculation here. The only product Im aware that actually reads your tune and saves it is HP tuners. SCT does not read the pcm, they provide you with the stock file based on your processor code.
Currently, if you have all monitors on, and no faults, it is a pass. The issue here is, yes, this can be 'cheated'. This is why I think checking for the OS ID is coming to OBD scanning. I do not know if HP tuners renames the OS, SCT does rename it.
No idea about the workings of Syked, PCM flash, or any other product out there.
Possible solution would be software to edit Ford .vbf file (oem tune file) and flash with IDS. I have not seen anything like that out there.
PCM flash is pretty cheap but you have to pay to have your strategy mapped. It ends up costing the same as HPT, and SCT. (~$750). Syked was the best priced solution, but Kevin could not make it work on mine. Not that Ive researched this. lol
The only realsolution I see is having a second pcm and just swapping it as needed.
