Unlocked unit won't lock to my ECU. HELP!

[mautsukuda]

Hi, I have a 2018 Civic Sport Hatch 6MT and I recently bought a used V1.2 unit from a friend who unlocked it before selling it to me. Everything seems to show that it's unlocked and ready for the next user, but for some reason I keep getting the message that the unit is still locked to another ECU. See attachments for reference. Also, Ktuner is blinking blue when attached to the car in accessory mode, which means "Unit Not Locked". Anybody have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it?

According to his account information the original owner actually re-locked it after unlocking it. Plug the unit in by itself to verify.

Did you ever figure this out?

If you plug a unit in by itself and it's actually unlocked you'll get a message that the unit has not yet been locked to an ECU. If it instead asks you to lock to a vehicle, it hasn't been unlocked.

Im on the same boat. Picked it up second hand. Any way to resolve this?

If you bought a unit second hand and it's locked there is nothing you can do other than work with the seller to get it unlocked.

Ahh shit. That wont be able to happen bought it on kijiji. Have no way of contacting the old seller. Pictures show that its unlocked but as you say its locked.

Unfortunately the first person who tried to have a stolen unit unlocked ruined this for everyone.
