DEF delete = fake VIN?

Wonder what would happen if one gave a false VIN number when one bought the unlock code for the DEF? One could go to the Steelership and get a VIN off one on the lot, and use that for the code. I'm thinking they use the VIN for the records on the truck. So if you don't use ones own VIN they won't know........... If not, explane to me why one has to give ones VIN in order to get the unlock code???????
Just a thought........................................... ......

I would imagine it has to do with the trucks calibration # as all trucks are not programmed the same. Different updates different vins.

What are you speaking to Vinnie? An aftermarket application that delets DEF usage?
