tune and download a custom tune. Reload the stock tune to the vehicle and it becomes unlocked again. Otherwise, the makers of the tuners would only have sold 1
and everyone could use it by taking turns. Its locked to sell more tuners.
One per vehicle VIN #. It would be silly if they didnt.

I bought a used supercharger and it came with a locked Predator. Besides sending it back to Diablo, does anyone know of a way to unlock it?
Thanks,

And the custom tune thats in the vehicle thats its locked to is now gone from the tuner.
DiabloSport will unlock it for $375 or so, the cost of a new unlocked tuner. [:@]

People dont lock tuners. It is locked by default when you upload the stock
tune and download a custom tune. Reload the stock tune to the vehicle and it becomes unlocked again. Otherwise, the makers of the tuners would only have sold 1
and everyone could use it by taking turns. Its locked to sell more tuners.

Nope, its locked to the vehicles VIN that matches the stock tune thats in it right now.
And the custom tune thats in the vehicle thats its locked to is now gone from the tuner.
