Default what do you do if your programmer is stolen?

I had a Hypertech programmer for my 2002 GT, and sometime within the last week it was stolen out of my garage. I was scheduled to take my car in next week to have a knocking valve looked at. I had heard that if they hook up the car to do a diagnosis the car will read error codes if not taken back to the factory settings. Does anyone have any advise please.

The first thing I would do would be to contact Hypertech and alert them as to the stolen unit (serial # etc. if you have it). It won't be worth anything to anyone married to your car. They may contact Hypertech looking to get it unlocked.[/align][/align]While you are talking to them ask them where to go from here, a nearby Hypertech shop might be able to retrieve the custom tune and flash an OEM tune for you.[/align]

Do you think the Ford dealership can reflash the computer to factory specs?
