Locked tuner
Hello all! Sorry if this has been answered before, but I recently purchased the Predator tuner off eBay. I intended to use it in my '02 duramax, but when I went to try to install a tune yesterday, I got a message saying something to the nature of "This tool is locked to a different vehicle." I've done some reading around the forums, and I am fairly sure that I will need the vehicle that it is locked to in order to unlock the tool. If somebody can confirm, or correct (hopefully! ) my statement, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

RE: Locked tuner
Go to options/car tune and see what it says there...
If the backup was restored you can send it here to be unlocked for $99, if not, it can not be locked.
Thanks

help !
I locked myself out of my own tuner ... I need help reseting the tuner or erasing the vin... I used a different pcm to troubleshoot my car and then sent it back but I didn't reflash the pcm and now I'm locked out of my factory pcm and it is the same tuner I have used for the last year. I need the program you spoke of to reset it if you can email it to me please !!

RE: Re: RE: Locked tuner
I would like to be able to unlock an old one from my 02 duramax which I put back to stock and install it on my 03 duramax I have now but it is showing that it has been locked to my 02 still. Do I have to send it in or how can I unlock it myself? My email is: brent.cox@wilsontrailer.com

I am going to need that program too. I bought a predator off ebay for my 06 charger and didnt realize this whole locked business until i started reading around the forums today. I should get my predator either today or tomorrow in the mail. The car it came from was totaled so i am pretty doubtful that it was unlocked...
Thanks in advance

If the car was totaled the original owner needs to contact us about unlocking it.

I oredered a new one cause I couldnt get a friends U7186 to load into my truck. It was loaded and then unloaded from his old truck but the programmer kept telling us it was not authorized to use in that vehicle. Diablo said to hook it up and call them to tell them what code it gave in the display and they could help. If theres an easy way I'd like to know too. tbrooks51@cebridge.net Thanks
