Did you buy a tune for your car? or are you trying to load the one he was using?
1. The tuner needs to be unlocked
2. You purchase, download a tune for your car.
3. Load the tune on the tuner
4. Program your car

the tuner needs to be "un-married" from the previous owner's ecu. You're gonna have to have sct do that. Before you call, get the 4-digit code on your ECU, cause they are gonna need that information to do it. Your ecu is right here- there will be a sticker with a 4-digit (numbers an letters combined) code that you will have to give to them.

You can NOT run the C&L without retuning the car. Put the stock airbox back on 'til you sort out your SCT issue.
