Cool Super Chips Tuner Needs Update??????

Ok I bought a tuner from a guy on another site, when I go to install it, it says it needs a update from super chips to complete the install. So i called super chip and they want $200 to put the update into it because I'm not the original owner of the tuner. Is there anything I can do.

5Star-is there anything you can do with it?

I would get in touch with whoever you bought it from. Either he sends it back to superchips (assuming he has the original receipt) for updating or he gives you your money back.
