redghia Member 35 Member For: 17y 6m 4d Posted 17/11/12 08:06 AM Share Posted 17/11/12 08:06 AM (edited) GuysJust purchased a second hand SCT X3 from Gumtree - Guy assured me that it as brand new and never used and had it for a previous car and didn't get around to using it, seemed genuine enoughJust got it home and plugged it in, it let me browse the cars error codes and ECU strategy number etc, then I went in to upload tune to see what as on it in the way of generics and there is a tune on there called "marks tune" or something similarThen went into the setup menus of the X3 and it has 5 resets avail still but status is currently set to "Married" , I have messaged the guy back saying im coming past tomorrow to get my cash back but no reply as yet (been about an hour) - is there anyway to test if the box is definatley lockedBox cost me $400, is it feasible to send it to SCT to unlock it ? and then I would still have to pay for some generic tunes to be loaded ? worst case scenario Edited 17/11/12 08:18 AM by redghia Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82893-second-hand-sct-x3-locked/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may of actually thought it was unlocked.

But if the guy can flash whatever car it's been used on back to stock then the device is fine for you to use.. If he can't.. Well get your money back and walk away.

There's another bloke from Sydney on Gumtree selling XCAL3s from North America - don't buy those either - they are going for about $450 from memory - they will not work on our Fords here Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82893-second-hand-sct-x3-locked/#findComment-1326614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
