Arbitrarily Locked 06-11 Civic Si Flashpro

Post by fg2.drew »

I own a flashpro for an 8th gen civic si. My si then got totaled in a wreck, but I unlocked it from the ECU before the car was scrapped. In the meantime while I looked to buy another car, I let my friend use the flashpro for his 8th gen si. I eventually purchased another 8th gen civic si. After that point my friend and I swapped the flashpro back and forth between the cars a few times; as I wasn't driving my new car because I couldn't get insurance for it at the time. However, the flashpro now seems permanently locked to my friend's car. Even after returning his to stock it says something along the lines of "unable to authenticate vin" and will not unlock. Wtf is going on?

the exact message that comes up is "error authorizing VIN unlock - please contact support@hondata.com"
