EFI Live question I have a 01 SS M6 when i purchased the car. It was tuned with efi live and locked by the previous owner how can i go about getting it unlocked to use hp tuners on it
If it was actually locked then your cheapest option is to buy another pcm. Are you sure they locked the pcm? Locking pcm's isnt the norm although a few people do it. I have pcm's instock for your car.

I tried to connect two different Hp tuners and they didn't connect i might just have to purchase a new one how much do you sale them for
What do you mean won't connect. HP Tuners Editor doesn't "connect" per se. When you try and read a locked PCM with HP Tuners when it gets to step 3, Requesting Access, it will stop and say Security Access Denied. If it is not getting to at least step 3 then it is another problem.

I wouldn't recommend running a M6 car with a A4 calibration. It will be a 0411 PCM and can easily be flashed with a 01 M6 calibrarion including putting your VIN # in it.

You'll need someone with efi live to license the pcm, then full flash a stock tune into it. Once its been full flashed back to stock then you can use hpt or any other tuning software on it.
I can do it for you pretty cheap but the time you pay shipping both ways you would almost be at the same price I sell used pcm's for.

And if you find someone local they will likely need to buy $125 credit to flash it for you. I bet the PCM LSX Power Tuning is in that ballpark for price. Then you can always have yours sent off and reflashed and have an extra or sell it.
