Anyway to put a 1999 FBody VIN into a 1998 FBody PCM?

Hi guys,

Like the title says, is it possible to put a 1999 LS1 FBody VIN into a 1998 LS1 FBody PCM?

I tried using HP Tuners Version 2.24 and it gives me the error: "Invalid VIN and OS pair"

I tried beta 2.25 and it doesn't even give me an option to change the VIN. I haven't used Ver 3.0 yet.

The reason I need to do this is because I have a guy that put a 1998 Trans-Am Drivetrain into a 1999 Trans-Am Chassis. The VIN on the body and the PCM needs to match for his emission testing in his town.

Anyway around this?

Yes, with a different product.

My computer vin and car vin don't match, my old tuner set it up that way changing operating systems. I know 98 is the funky year so Im not sure how that plays in to it.

Any hints to what that may be?

The products that don't use VIN/OS as part of their licensing scheme. About every other product out there. I'm not going to name competing products on HPT's forum.
