Renntech Handheld tuner VIN#?

Hey guys, I have a Renntech HHT from another G550 owner. The device is 'supposedly' registered to a specific
VIN#. Does anyone know if that's actually the case or whether it can be used regardless of VIN#?

Thanks!

In my experience, once used handhelds are non-transferable and are VIN locked to the first vehicle it's used on. Unless you can find someone in the know who can "reset" it...

I believe there is a fee to unlock and transfer; contact them for details: info@renntechmercedes.com

"Hi Craig,

Hope all is well. That hand held would have to stay with your friends truck. They are vin locked, non-transferrable. We do not reset any hand helds.
