    Default Unable to unlock PCM

    I have three 99-08 PCM's for a Fiero project with a 3800 that I am trying to tune. One is from a aftermarket dealer and the other two are stock out of salvage cars.

    I can unlock and tune my truck with my equipment with a 99 PCM it it, but cannot get access to any of the three same PCM's for this other vehicle - the engine came from a 99 Bonneville and the other two PCM's are of similar models.

    I can SCAN the PCM's when they are running the car, but cannot unlock them to read the tune. Tried both methods to unlock it and it says they need a custom seed to unlock. I could understand that for the aftermarket PCM, but the two salvage PCM's should not be locked. I should at least be able to read the tunes out of the controller before buying the license correct or has this changed?

    Any thoughts/ideas on this would be appreciated.

    We don't support tuning for the PCM used in the 3800 V6. This means they cannot be read or flashed with EFILive.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    Don't suppose this is anywhere on the TODO list?
