My Genius - Any Value

Guys I no longer have my 2009 C63 but have a My Genius handheld sitting in my garage. Does this hand held have any value or should I just toss it? Thanks.

Hmm I mean idk if it has value but if you plan to just get rid of it I would probably take it for cheap

I believe that there is quite a large fee to unlock the handheld and only the original tuner can perform the operation required to unlock it.

If your thinking of using it, call the tuning company you are thinking of using and find out how much they charge to have it unmarried - dimsport charges them a fee to do it, the tuner has value, but after the cost of the tune and having it unmarried you are only about $100 bucks from the price of the tune including the tuner, but it varies a bit between tuning companies.

usually easier and at times cheaper to just buy a new one with tune.

if you sold your car, how about contact the current owner and give or sell to them?

I would, but I have no idea who owns it now. I sold it to a Phoenix dealer who ended up bringing it to auction. It was then purchased by a Ford dealer in Fort Walton Beach, FL and they don't appear to have it anymore. Maybe an even more recent CarFax would show where it was registered.

The VIN is WDDGF77X79F239750

So i went back and forth from a few different company. These are the issues about buying someone else's My Genius.

1. My genius that you Purchased from someone else. Has to be de-tuned from previous car before even asking a tuning company anything.
2. If the my genius you purchased used the car it was tuned on was removed ( Flashed to stock )
3. You need to have buyers full name for OE tuning you also need to buy one of there tunes... Eurocharge is the same way.

If you are going OE tuning i have an extra my genius i will sell for super cheap

My genius are locked to a tuning companys master computer. You can't use OE tuning my genius and buy a euro charged tune and expect it to work because it wont.

My two cents because i tried doing this

He is too new and his account is likely not yet open to PMs.

This car is currently being sold in California, I’m looking to buy it, but the tune on it won’t let me smog it. Do you still have the tunner ?

I no longer have the tuner. Would you mind posting the listing for the car? I would love to see what it looks like now. Thanks.
