i cant change the vin everything else works fine
Tyler, the PCM may have had a previous tune installed,and then locked, and cannot read the VIN. I have bought PCM's from the wrecking yard,and tried to program a new VIN with my Tech2,and it tells me the VIN is in another format. previously tuned and locked VIN. Just a possibilityQuote:

There are other applications that can write most any VIN to most any PCM - however that doesn't play well with how HP Tuners licenses the PCM. This isn't a big deal unless you tune enough vehicles to get unlimited (i.e. year / model or generation) credits.
