Can I sell my SCT tuner?

[MixMaker]

Can I sell it even though my wrecked truck is currently tuned with it? Does it marry itself to the truck like the Predators do?

I have two of them now and could get rid of it as long as it won't cause the new owner any trouble.

Yes, it marries to the vehicle just like the predators.

Yup what above said. I've heard that SCT will unlock it for a fee..Could check into that and price accordingly

+1, it's vin locked. I've heard that sct will charge and i've heard that they won't charge. If your friends with a sct tuner, they can sometimes hook you up.

SCT charges 150 bucks to unlock it. I sent one back to them last week!

So to unmarry it would I just detune my wrecked truck?

 

[fruhdaddy]

correct, hook it up to the vehicle its loaded to and return to stock settings on the tuner

Once you plug it in and unlock it, it should also tell you how many tune "slots" of the original five (5) are left. If there are none, then it has to be flashed clean by SCT and yes, they charge $150 for that. IIRC, SCT does not allow any tuner to reflash an SCT device to OEM specs with five open tunes. Typically, a user might have a street tune and a track tune and the stock tune stored (three total). The value of a used tuner is usually based on how many tune slots are open if its unlocked. If its locked... deduct $150 from whatever you _think_ its worth.

Catch SCT at an event like NMRA and you probably will get them to unlock it for free.

I only have two tunes in there now.
