2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE 5.3

I BOUGHT A USED U7193 FOR MY TRUCK FROM SOME GUY WHO SAID HE REMOVED IT FROM HIS TRUCK AND DONT NEED IT ANYMORE SO I TRY TO INSTALL IT AND IT WONT WORK, I BELIEVE IT IS LOCKED OR SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH IT... THIS IS WHAT IT DOES:
***********************************************************
FIRST I PLUG IT IN AND LOADS UP
THEN I GET THIS MENU
-PERFORMANCE TUNE
-DIAGNOSTICS
-OPTIONS
-TOOL INFO

WHEN I CHOOSE THE PERFORMANCE TUNE OPTION FROM THE MENU
IT PROMPTS ME TO AGREE/DISAGREE...I CLICK ON AGREE

THEN A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED:

THE CUSTOM TUNE CAN'T BE USED ON THIS VEHICLE
VIN MISMATCH

THEN I AM PROMPT TO CLICK CONTINUE

NEXT AFTER I CLICK ON CONTINUE:
FOLLOWS THIS MENU

SELECT TUNE
-DIABLO
-87 OCTANE TUNE
-FACTORY HP TUNE
-ORIGINAL BACKUP

IF I CHOOSE ANY ONE OF THEM (I ALREADY TRIED WITH EACH OPTION)

GO TO INSTALL TUNE/MODIFY TUNE
CLICKED ON INSTALL TUNE...THEN

I GET THIS MESSAGE:

(3) THIS TOOL IS NOT LICENSE FOR USE WITH THIS VEHICLE

THEN I PROCEED TO CONTINUE AND I GET THIS:

THE TUNE WAS NOT PUT IN THE VEHICLE PLEASE
TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:

UNKNOWN ERROR

****************************************************
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT? IS IT POSSIBLE TO UNLOCK IT SO THAT IT CAN WORK WITH MY TRUCK? IF SO WHATS THE PROCEDURE AND PRICE? CAN IT BE UPDATED TO THE NEWEST VERSION AND HOW MUCH? I AM LOSING MY DAMN MIND WITH THIS... I JUST WANT TO CHOKE THIS PERSON WHO SOLD IT TO ME......


PLEASE ANY INFO/ADVICE WILL BE VERY HELPFUL... THANK YOU

Tool is locked to another vehicle, needs to be unlocked before you can use it.

Have him restore the stock tune to the truck, or, it can be unlocked for $129 by filling out an rma request.
