Then you will have to pay SCT $150 to totally unlock that tuner.

From SCT's website:

CHECKING LOCKED STATUS FOR THE FORD X3/SF3 3000/3015 AND THE GM SF3 3100:

* Power up the device by plugging in to either a vehicle's OBDII port or a computer's USB port. (usb cable not included)
* Once powered up, scroll all the way down to device info.
* Press Select on Device Info.
* Status will either be: Status: Locked or Status: Unlocked.

*This is the breakdown of what each one means:*
* Status: Locked - The vehicle is VIN locked, you need to either return the vehicle it is currently locked to back to stock, or you will need to call Tech Support and Get a Return Authorization and pay an Unlocking Fee.

* Status: Unlocked - Your tuner is not locked, go tune.



I bought an X3 locally from a buddy. No issue unlocking without fees.
