you're sort of SOL, although you can call superchips or hypertech and make up a BS story that you took it to the dealer and forgot to uninstall it and the dealer reflashed your pcm. or your pcm got fried and you replaced it and lost the tune. they might check the VIN stored in the tuner and call BS or they might not. either way you'd have to pay shipping and a fee, probably something like $100.
If you just want a tuner unlocked, no receipt or anything, they charge the $100-$150 or something to unlock it.
if you got one that was VIN locked, you'd be better off to return it (and pay shipping and GET A TRACKING #) and either get a refund voluntarily or file a paypal dispute.

the only way the gearhead customer actually comes out ahead is if he can get the VIN locked tuner for free, or almost free. i suspect that too many attempts to reload the same serial number would raise a flag and they'd call BS again.
