I sold the Tahoe I was using this on (2002 w/ 5.3l) and want to be able to use this on my buddy's 2000 TransAm. It's saying it can't back up the original tune giving an error code of "Unit 1: error unlock".
The buyers of the Tahoe didn't want the tuner. I reinstalled the factory tune, got it smogged, & handed it over. The tuner should be free to use with another vehicle... right?
Thanks!

Unlocking my U7198
Re: Unlocking my U7198
nope, not if it's an old 1.xx or 2.xx revision number.. it won't unlock no matter what..
you should trade it in to diablosport and get the $100 discount on getting a new inTune from them.. cuz predator's are all dead and gone anyway, they were all discontinued over 4 years ago now...

It's v.9r17, so it should have worked, right? The "Last Tune Written" screen says "Original Backup".
Thanks

Re: Unlocking my U7198
if you did the restore process, yes it would have unlocked/reset...
could be an issue with your buddy's pcm not being able to be read...

Re: Unlocking my U7198
So when I open the "Last Tune Written" screen, this is what it says:
This means the tuner is unlocked... right?
There are a couple DTC's on his ECM. He removed his EGR valve & rear O2 sensors, so those are throwing codes. It's also giving a "Random Misfire" DTC as well. Would the the presence of DTC's keep the tuner from backing up the factory tune?
Again, it's a 2000 Pontiac Trans-Am with the 5.7l LS1 engine. It should be compatible with the U7198, right?

Re: Unlocking my U7198
if you press OK, does it go to the options menu or display a VIN?

Re: Unlocking my U7198
I'm pretty sure it went back to the options menu... but I'll double check. Would those DTC's keep it from progressing with the tune?
