New (2022) Vados have been made very hard to derestrict.

This is nothing new. Levociraptor can probably defeat the Mastemind but at the cost wrong speed, distance ridden and Odometer. You cannot use BLEvo with Mastermind.

Here's a youtube video on four options, but the video is 2 years old.
There's also the Planet3 device, but that's been out for a while too.

No electronic chip will defeat the latest Mastermind
This website advertises Peartune for Specialized 2.0/2.1/2.2 motors, including Tero. If it works, seems like a good option particularly for the US Class 1 Levo/Tero- but should it also be good for the UK Vado's as well? Prob not needed for US 2022 Vado.

Uh, I don't know how Mr Hruska could handle the encrypted data stream of Mastermind. If I were interested in a new Spec e-bike, I would write to Ms. Hruska a couple of questions for sure.

Does the original poster have a 2022 model? He doesn't say in his post.

From the video, it looks relatively simple to do

I have Creo SL and I use the Peartune. There are 2 different versions of this, which is always on an switched. The difference comes with being able to switch it on and off. If you have the handlebar remote to change the power setting such as the one for the Levo SL, it has a walk button and this is used to turn the Peartune on and off. The always on version, is not switchable. I used the switched version with the remote as in the UK, that is a good idea. The Peartune does read the speed correctly, but does occasionally throw up an error message on the Garmin headunit, but the is easily dismissed and does not stop power. It also does not play well if using the external battery. Other than that, the Peartune is excellent

I use a PearTune on Vado SL, and I think I made a thread on it once. The point is, I am not sure whether the MasterMind TCD-w and/or TCU still allow derestriction with PearTune. It seems it is possible (posts above).
Update: The PearTune 3.0 does work with the Tero 5.0.
See post #44.
So I received my Tero 5.0 and the PearTune 3.0 today. I installed the PearTune and it doesn't work. My bike immediately thinks it's going 30mph and then I get an error. The error says it's a speed sensor error.

Not good.
I can only guess MasterMind e-bikes have been protected against derestricting them.

Could you write to them? Do you know the direct e-mail address to the PearTune company? (I know it).
I dont know it, but would love to write to them and see what's going on with their tuner and the new mastermind.
