Problem installing Superchip 1705

I'm new to the forum, but have been reading for a while. I am trying to install a Superchip 1705 on my 02 7.3. When I installed it, the display said it needed an update. I tried it on a 99 7.3 and it said the same thing. I bought this thing used off one of these sites so I don't have a receipt to send it in to Superchip for the update. Without the receipt they charge $200.00 for the update. Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks.....

Q: Is it safe to purchase a Superchips product off an Internet Auction site?
A: Buyers beware!
We are sorry to say the answer is probably not. We get calls from too many unsuspecting buyers that bought what they thought was a new product, only to find out it was used and unusable. Superchips, Inc warranty applies to the original owner only. We do not warrant any used products.

You must provide a copy of the sales reciept in your name for any warranty service.

Q: Tuner needs update. What do I do?
A: Once the tuner states “Needs Update", write down the files shown on the tuner display, turn off the ignition
and unplug the tuner. Locate original sales receipt and call Superchips if you have a Max Tuner or log onto Flashpaq.com if you have a Flashpaq Tuner.

looks like you should send it back
