Phil just emailed me, said there is no way around it. Pretty much have to replace the PCM or get the info from the previous tuner to unlock it.

its just an old technique tuners used to use to keep other tuners from stealing their "secrets" and I'm sure it kept you going to the same person/shop as well.Originally posted by MP81 View PostDoing less with more

FROST on LS1tech is able to flash your PCM back to stock if you send it to him. It might be cheaper than buying a new one.Originally posted by BigRobSS View PostPhil just emailed me, said there is no way around it.

Yeah I didn't doubt they would take care of me, I just thought since it was out of their hands that I was screwed. Thankfully they went out of their way to find a solution. THANKS EVI!Originally posted by kyleozzie View Postsigpic
