Thanks. Purely as a point of clarification (given the prior responses), the Xcal1 then is *not usable at all* with a *different car* until it is "unlocked" by an SCT dealer and a new program is uploaded? Or is it "usable" just stuck with the programs that were originally loaded and whatever "stock" (in my case ZED0) program was uploaded from the car to the XCal1? I appreciate your chiming in.
Edit: Got some info from SCT on this. I was informed that the units are indeed locked to a VIN as I had thought. After being returned to stock, the XCal1 can be unlocked either by an SCT dealer or using the Xtreme Tune freeware from the SCT site. Unfortunately, for some reason now that I have a USB-only computer, I am unable to connect my XCal1 to get this (or any other PC-to-XCal1) process to work. My third-party DB9-to-USB converter cable does not appear to do the trick (and actually does bad things to my COM assignments). Although the PC sees/installs it and the powered DB15-DB9 cable is getting power, the Xtreme Tune software cannot find a COM port that will talk to the XCal1.
