No, other then desodering the flash chip from the board and reflashing it with an Eprom burner. It must be unlocked by the person who locked it.

Weird, when I was using him I had HPT, so he would email me tunes and I'd flash them myself, log, and send back the logs. He'd update the tune and email it back to me. Never said a word to me about not wanting to send me unlocked tunes.

Nah, should be able to go to the scan part and it will scan/log the runs. But thats about as much as you can do with a locked pcm.

I emailed HPT about the same problem before they told me that either I change the PCM get a new one or have my tuner to unlock it cause there is no other way to unlock the PCM.
