Can't be done. Sorry.

Gotta find the previous owner.
^^^^^^ What he said.
Yeh that sucks.. Previous owner needs to get the unit back, download it back into his truck, then put back to stock i believe.. You can call bob wagner, he will confirm or answer any other questions.. Maybe theres another way now.... 1(888)225-7637..... Heres his number.

Thats why programmer company's will not clear one for you. Unless you have full proof that your truck was in fact totaled and you have receipts for the Smarty, you might have a chance. They still probably going to say you should have unloaded the tune. IMHO I can almost guarantee they arent going to do anything.


Im surprised Brian hasn't commented yet.

You are SOL my friend. NO way to unlock without that truck. Claim it on the insurance because it is part of the truck now.

Exactly why everyones going to EFI including me... when there's guys like Dave Matthews an Anarchy diesel that will go out of their way just to help.. the way I see it is smarty don't need me and I sure as h#ll don't need them.

That's a lesson in customer service right there...

You want us to hand out a Free Smarty to the man?

The programing is in the ECM dude. Produce the ecm and we can fix him up.

The programing is part of the product we sell. not just the handheld unit. It is his duty to go to the truck and unload the program to the tuner. It is not our duty to give out "free" Smarty's for life. No one is entitled to that. And my magic wand is in the shop for repairs so I can not magically restore his hand held unit.

The gentleman has insurance on his truck. HE needs to claim the Smarty on that claim. And anything else in the truck at the time of the accident that he does not have access to.

I don't think he's trying to get you or anyone at smarty to give me a free programer.. an I understand stand it's my duty to get it off the truck I just couldn't get around well after the crash an the smarty was the last thing on my mind at the time.. the reason why I started this thread was to see if I could get my programmer unlocked im not trying to beat anyone at smarty out of anything... it pisses me off that you try to act like im a thief or some shady character...but im done with smarty and as far as im concerned their a thing of the past.:buttkick:
You asked if the unit can be unlocked. I simply stated that without the truck, you are out of luck. I have NO way to unlock it for you. There is NO code I can punch in. I do not really own a magic wand. If you were to remove the ecm then there would be a way to do it on the bench.

As I mentioned turn it in on your claim because it is seriously part of the truck unless they let you access it.

Simple enough?

Thank you Sir! I'd help you if only I could. :thumbsup:

How long have you been running Smarty?

I notice that in April on this thread you stated you were running xrt and wanting to make a change to "another" brand.
April http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/0...mance-parts-discussion/593863-lots-smoke.html

And in August, on this thread, you were still running xrt stating you wanted to change to "another" brand.

I also have a 6.7 which has a xrt... My 06 is what the smarty was on an I got the ssr when it first came out.
The insurance co. had to give access to the truck so the op could get any property out. Thats when he couldve unloaded his smarty. Sorry for the b/s hes got to deal with but im glad to know someone cant steal MY smarty and call with a sob story to get it unlocked.
