I am about to purchase one that a friend had but he didnt get a chance to unlock it before the insurance company and got the car. Does anyone know what I have to do to get in unlocked, if i have to send it back to them how much do they charge. Any help please.

 

I just purchased one used from ebay and its locked. I spoke to doug mine came with a cd he stated there is a programm on it to unlock it. I'm also going to check there website you need a usb cable.

Yes, you can download LiveLoad and unlock it with that. Then you'll need to get custom tunes on it from an SCT dealer (like BamaChips).

Unlock Device button on lower right corner of the attached screenshot.

 

MMMMM... peanut brittle...

 

Thanks for the help, so I will buy it now.

 

That unlock device feature will not work. SCT says you have to return the device to them and pay $150 to unlock it.

 

I saw that too!

 

If your friend did not return his vehicle back to the stock program first ? you cannot unlock the device yourself using the live load software until the stock program is downloaded back into the vehicle's computer from the programmer and am sorry to say that you'll have to ship the programmer back to SCT who will then ship you an unused programmer for a $75.00 - $150.00 fee

 

ok help me out what is peanut brittle???
I got my hand held to work maybe it wasn't locked? it kept coming up with wrong car. when I tried to use the live load programe it stated that it wasn't locked.

 

Hmm.. didn't know that. I only went by what a Moderator posted in the SCT Forum.



Freebass55 saw my Brittle recipe on my desktop screenshot!
Okay, for you guys, I'll post it later tonight (at work now)... guarenteed to be one of the yummiest Peanut Brittle recipes around!

Back to the SCT handheld, e-mail Doug or post your specific question in the (official) SCT Forum.

 

They say 150.00 on the SCT forum's, I guess I will have to wait and buy a new from Doug unless he can do something with it. Thanks

 

I'll look for it!

 

As promised... Now, you Mustang guys must keep this recipe on the down low! It must not fall into the hands of Chevy owners.

 

hi taco,
does this mean if you get a used SCT2 "unlocked"...i can purchase tunes from bama, till or brenspeed and just upload it no problem?

thanks a lot!

Yes. That is what I did. 93 Race tune from Bamachips for $75.

 

thanks rev,

so that means i can purchase an unlocked used SCT2 and use it for my car?

sorry if im asking a 2nd time. im new to this

thanks agian!

 

Yes you can, I paid less than $150 for my used SCT.

 

thanks rev! that is awesome!

 

Hey thanks for the receipe never would have thought id find that in a thread about tuners hehe!

 

From what i just learned on my other thread i posted...

"unlocked" and "return to stock" are two completely different things.

The seller must return his car to stock with the tuner first. Then when you recieve the tuner you must use liveload to "unlock" the tuner from the previous users VIN.

That is the reason for the unlock button on live load.

Its a two step process.
