Done with Superchips

[Jolly’s Jp]

* Just a rant so I feel better*

So, purchased a Superchips 3571 to change tire size on my JL. Prior to trading in my JL on the JT, I returned it to stock and pulled the bypass module thinking that I could use it on the JT since they are 90 percent the same (other modules use the same program I think...maybe someone can tell me different.)

Not only did it not un-marry the Flashcal, they are saying it won’t work on the JT even if it was. I then asked what it would cost to unlock the VIN and they said it would be $100 even with proof of purchase.

I know other companies that do the same thing will unlock the calibrator for $40. Yes, I know they do this to prevent people from selling a locked calibrator. I guess where I am going with this is...guess I will support another manufacturer. You got me this time.

*rant off*

I have a FlashCal sitting on my shelf at home. I hooked it up to my JL, and it would not unmarry itself after that. I refuse to pay them to unlock it.

I have seen people talk about having the bill of sale and them only charging $30 for the unlock. I even asked them about that and they said no...$100. Will look for another solution.

I guess when the economy is going well, they can do that but don’t cry when it goes south.

*update*

I reached out to them on Facebook and asked the same questions. They confirmed that it would work with the JT. I thought long and hard about it but told them I was willing to pay for the VIN unlock. They had me plug in the programmer and did a factory reset. Here’s the kicker, they didn’t charge me a thing.

I don’t know what changed from yesterday to today whether it be a different/right person or if I explained myself better but now it connects to the JT and locked in its VIN.
