blzn04fx4:

Not really. Call SCT (sctflash.com has contact info) and tell them what you need. You will have to send it in so it can be reset. Also, you will need a tune from them (unless you get 'Advantage' - highly recommended - to do you own tuning) for the Mach1. Bottom line: there is some cost for unlocking and providing a new 'canned' tune but it is pretty reasonable, imho.

The alternate thing to do is to contact a reputable tuner in your area and have him set you up with a custom tune (to make the most of the mods done to the Mach1). Again, not a high cost for this since you already have the XCal.

HTH,

Chris

It has to go back to SCT - usually that's $150 to unlock it, but MAYBE you can show them proof of the transaction and they'll give you a break - doubtful because of all the Ebay programmers they see. Then you need a custom tune for it - not too expensive - we change $50 for one. Other dealers charge about the same or more.

yep sct has to unlock it since it married to the first car it was on... $150 charge there

on my truck i had an obdII port under the steering column. and so my question is, where do i plug the programmer into the mach 1?

and who makes a good custom tune for mustangs. i went through vmptuning for my truck.

There's an OBD plug near the accelerator next to the center console
