You can't use Troyer custom tunes on a different truck. You need to contact a tuner and get tunes written for YOUR truck. Return it to stock till you do to avoid damage.

Sounds like it needs to be unlocked - it's still "married" to the truck it was on before. SCT should be able to do that, but it will cost you.

I got the same error message last night when I plugged my x3 into the computer for the first time last night. I got a message on my computer screen to reinstall the update, so I did. The xcal said that it was formatting and then updating. After the update all was well. My programmer is 'unmarried'. Maybe try and plug it in and update it again. As for the lack of canned tunes, my x3 is the 3000 which doesn't have preloaded tunes on it for our trucks. Maybe yours is the same? I believe the 3015 is the one with the preloaded tunes

Here is the problem. You bought a used device, loaded with a custom tune for someone else' truck. That tune was written for the last owner's strategy code. Don't use it.
