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.
