Hi Guys,
It is really nice to say "hello". Things have been pretty quiet. Not necessarily a bad thing
I'm going to explain what my original post was all about. Back when SCT introduce the Livewire, (before the X3), they changed a portion of the software for the Xcal2 so that both the Xcal2 and Livewire could use the same tunes/files. This created a problem where if you got a reflash and loaded a tune onto the box, before unlocking the box, when you returned to stock you would go back to your original stock file and lose the reflash.
If you have an Xcal2 and get reflashed, in order to avoid losing the reflash, you must go into the Liveload software, with your Xcal2 connected and click the Unlock button.
zgerm01, it seems what happened to you is you were installing an SCT that the person who had it before you did not take it the vehicle back to stock. Since the SCT's marry the vin and your computer, in your truck, you would not be able to load a file unless SCT or a trained representative unlocks it for you. For that, $100 is not a bad price at all.
Thanks,
Vivian
It is not needed for the X3 or Livewire as they unlock themselves.
