Call Matt and see if he can help you, but it sounds like SCT is gonna be your next phone call so they can unlock it for you.

I would highly recommend you not stack ANYTHING with the SCT's....

It's counter-productive and may fool your trucks pcm into doing something it shouldn't...

All Is Well After Calling Sct And The Tech. Walking Me Through The Reprogramming And Updating My X3, I Had To Send Them My Stock Calibration And The Engineers Rewrote It For My X3 As A Recovery File, I Even Downloaded Matts Custom Tunes Wow! My Trucks Trans Is Much Happier And I Can Say M.rivera At Sct Was Of Great Help. Thanks For All The Feedback And For The Record You Do Not Have To Disconnect The Banks Six-gun To Flash Your Trucks Pcm, I Just Leave Mine On "0" Or Stock For The Gauges Now. Spartan Fun From Now On Thanks Matt...
