    security access denied- exceeded number of attempts

    Any one had this msg (security access denied- exceeded number of attempts) when trying to read a ls1 pcm, I know it has been tuned by efi live before so im not sure if that's the problem iv never had this problem before. Any help would be great thanks.

    sounds like its tunerlocked to me.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    no effin way!
    I just bought a c6, and the pcm was fried.
    paid dealer to supply install pcm. reman.
    that was 2 wks ago. tonight I tried to pull the stock tune and I got the same msg.
    exactly. can the dealer lock me out?
    on the read attempt, it briefly says that invalid security key or something similar.
    before I took the car in, I had read the pcm and licensed it , to add to the wound.
    if anyone can direct me to a workaround. that would be awesome.

    Will , i'm in AUS and in approx. 10days etc, I will be offering/able to unlock pcm's, but I know it doesn't help at the moment but it does sound like to me it's tuned with efi live, if tuned with EFI Live ,can;'t read it/modify it with hp tuners....Cheers Bret
