With reference to the above, I have bought a used RS Tuner and myself and the seller want to know whether it needs to be unlocked if the car type is the same? The thread mentions differences in license costs i.e. between a TCE and a 1*2, but as it was previously used on a 1*2 would that be ok for me? Do I just need to purchase a new license?

you'll need a new license, as it will locked to that particular car

Yeah, but does it need to be 'unlocked' by the old user? Or can I just buy a new license and do it myself?

Im asking because it was supposed to be sent today and this would hold it up etc.

You have to get the new license because your ecu serial number needs to sent to fastchip to unlock it

Thanks for the info.

So the seller doesnt need to do anything to the RSTuner before it is sent - I just need to purchase a new license based on my ECU.

Is that correct?
