PCMTec Editon Required: Professional, One-Car Workshop, or Workshop.

If a car has come into your workshop that is Tuner Locked and you wish to tune the car. You can overwrite the tuner lock with a stock file. To do this first read and save the tuner-locked file ignoring the Tuner Lock warning. Ensure you read both the PCM and TCM if the vehicle is a ZF automatic.

Next open "Calibration Tools" -> "Create Stock File/Calibration Merge".

Next press "Create Stock File From Strategy or Catchcode".

Now enter either the strategy or the tear tag for the vehicle. This can be located on the sticker on the driver's door. The picture is just an example.

Next press "Create and Merge".

Next press "Load File" loading the tuner-locked file that was saved previously.

Press "Save/Open File" Save the resulting file, open and license it (3 credits).

Once licensed you will see the resulting file is completely in stock with the VIN/VID Block and Serial copied from the tuner-locked file. Please note that if you do not license the resulting file the VID block will show default values.

Happy tuning!
