    Hi radical,

    Welcome to the forum

    Do you have your V2 firmware up to date...?

    Install V7 and V8 software from here.

    V8 software includes V2 firmware that you have to flash into V2.

    V8 software includes two programs:
    - EFILive Explorer (EE),
    - Scan & Tune (S&T).

    start EE, goto the Firmware tab, and flash bootblock (if it's not the latest), and then flash firmware;

    the bootblock/firmware files for FlashScan V2 have filename starting with FS_.

    Then when you finished flashing firmware, use S&T to configure V2 BBL/BBF, and V2 settings:

    There is a knowledgebase article here on firmware updates as well: http://support.efilive.com/kb_articl...7243-SFGL-2949

    ok set all that up now... if i try with the s&t to read the tune it tells me $0537 the controller is locked with a custom key. if i try to read the tune with v7.5 it tells me something similar... if i select try alt keys then it comes up with the same bootloader rejected error as i stated in the original post

    Has the vehicle been tuned before (to your knowledge). It seems like it may have been and the ECM has been locked by a previous tuner.
