Posted 04/09/08 11:10 PM Share Posted 04/09/08 11:10 PM Yeah...Im looking at getting a flash tuner that's already been used on one car... Is it really worth the mucking around getting it unlocked? Or should I just get a new one and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he tune on my ECU and I dont use my flash tuner? or does he tune onto my flash tuner and I use that? im in darwin aswell and im not sure on a tuner that knows what he is doing, ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy a unit that was purchased for a ba and I am running a bf engine can I get tunes to suit loaded. Also if the box has never been plugged into the car is it still VIN locked?.

mattymc New Member 5 Member For: 13y 10m 5d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 13/02/11 05:29 AM Share Posted 13/02/11 05:29 AM Thanks for clarifying that. I was pretty sure that it had to be plugged into a car to be paired with the tuner. Once it is connected to a car it is then VIN locked which is what I was thinking.
