if it's an older one, on a revision 1.xxx, they do not unlock at all...

if it's an older one on a 2.xx revision, the only way to unlock it is to have the person restore the original backup stock tune to the vehicle, OR, you have to ship it to diablosport and pay the $$ to have it upgraded to the new model predator plus unlocked, which is $149...

if it's a newer model on a 9rXX revision, then it will be $129 to unlock it and can be done over the phone...


so, what revision is it on?? power it up, and when it's at the main menu, the revision number is shown at the top of the screen... what is it?
