Yep it has the correct vin. It recognizes it perfectly. We tried a write entire. Nothing

if the vin was correct then the year must been wrong because if the year is wrong then the car wont run if its like a 2010 with a 08 year. I hope you understand lol!!

I do want to add to this thread that Vince at Trifecta was extremely helpful in walking me through what to do to unlock my pcm and get everything reflashed. He replied instantly to my emails and couldn't have been more courteous. Thanks!

Hes not just a guy off the street tuning people for money on the side. Its his livelihood. He has a plan. If something were to happen to vince today his customers would not be left out in the cold like youre implying. Just so you know.

He has a mobile setup that he takes with him. "Vacation" usuallly only means limited hours.

I don't think anyone would want your "friends that tune and ive taught them" to touch their car if you were a legitimate business.

Oh I hear you about learning to tune from others. Thats probably the #1 way to learn. How many people here learned from people like Greg Banish, Dan Maslic, or Jeff Hartman? Compound that with reading the HPT forums, seat time while someone else is tuning you, and your entire knowledge base is made up of others experiences, with a little of your own trial and error thrown in so you can call it your own.

What I meant was that if you were Vince, and needed help, you couldnt just ask a buddy to take over. You'd have to hire them, and that is a lot of red tape. Its a lot more complicated when you do it for a living.

Anyway, carry on with your trifecta bashing. I just hope anybody that reads your posts considers the source first.
