Sounds like it was in another truck that was not returned to stock before removing.

If the programmer was installed in another truck and never returned to stock you will not be able to program your truck with it.However,if you know where to locate the truck that the program is currently in ,you can retrieve the tunes ,then use it.

I might be way off base ,but I dont think they can.Since the tunes are gone with the other truck ,your probably gonna have to buy another programmer.Hopefully Mike or Brian can shed a little more light on this for you.Hope you get it going.

Best option we can offer is to send the tool in for the hardware upgrade and unlock which would cost $150 + shipping.
