Consider yourself lucky that you were able to restore your stock program and get past any other issues, and don't try it again.
The device is vin locked to the Mustang and can only be used on another vehicle if it is unlocked by SCT and custom tuned for your vehicle.

its the SCT SF3 Flash Handheld Tuner 3015 OBDII Mustang F-150 its plug and play so before he sold the mustang he detuned it which sets his mustang back to stock and is suppose to let you tune another ford. i guess it can only tune one vehicle at a time which would make sense cause then you would buy one and tune all ur buddys cars.
