Got Hypertech...Have Problem I bought a used hypertech power programmer 3 and it says that the vin's don't match because the guy that owned it forgot to clear it before sending it to me. Is there anyway that I can clear it myself without having the car with the correct vin?

I believe you have to send it back to hypertech to clear the vin for it to be fresh and i dont know how much they charge for that, if they dont do that, then you gotta get that guy who sold it to you to take his car off of it

. They said they received it like that when they bought it and took it to a performance place and they reset it for free, I was wondering if anyone knows of any places that can do that. We called Hypertech, they said all they can do is send us a new one for $250(WTF) so thats out of the question. It seems like if Hypertech was smart they would have made a button that you could hold in for x amount of time to reset it back to the way it came from them originally.

Call him and tell him you want your money back. Could be worse, someone bought a car with a HPP3 tune in it - hopefully it was just for gears/fans/etc.

Hypertech VIN locks the unit so only one car can be tuned using the unit. They are not trying to screw anyone, they are trying to prevent people from pirating their software. The person doing the screwing is the person who sold it to you without returning it to stock.
