I'm looking at a used sc flashpaq this weekend and I'm aware of the vin locked once married to a vehicle. Anyone who is knowledgeable about this unit, please give me some specific instructions how to test it. Much appreciated!

 

Just make sure it's unlocked and set back to defualt, make sure you get all the wires and manual if he has it

 

Yea you'll know when you plug it in because it'll say it's locked to the previous owners vehicle or it'll say it's unlocked

 

Thanks, seems simple enough. I hope the deal works out.

I located a PDF that breaks down error messages.

Yup, just like you stated, I plugged it in and I saw the word "lock" and played with for a sec then I saw the word mismatch. I said no thanks.
Thanks for the info guys.

 

Not a problem, glad we could help and keep you from buying something you would have never been able to use

 

So the seller didn't have a vehicle tuned with that tuner, and he could not "return to stock" and unlock for you?

hmmmmmm.

Oh well, keep looking. You'll love it once you get one.

 

What a bum deal. And the search continues....

 

You hit the nail on the head on that!

Now, I think back to some of things he said, "bought it used", "worked fine on my truck even tho it says lock".

The unit displayed the last 9 of the vin to the original vehicle it was married to and I could have walked over to his truck, then verified it, but I really didn't want to debate with him why I knew it was B.S.


I want one even more now!

 

Sorry to do this to you but just ordered my superchip cortex today lol not throwing in your face

My point is just buy new because I had offers on used ones and they the people selling them only wanted $50 less than original price, so like I said but new and Superchips has a mail in rebate of up to $50 and the rebate deal goes on til May 31st so order soon
