Any way to get around a locked out map?

    So, I have an APv2 and a protune from a tuner in New Jersey. I was living in Philly and recently moved back with my parents.

    Anyways, I have this map that Access Tuner Race is unable to read. Im assuming that its a sign that the map is locked out and cant be touched.

    Is there any way to get around this? I want to run a GrimmSpeed boost solenoid but the car obviously has to be re tuned. I doubt its something that can be fixed via data logs. As well, Id like to get the tune tweaked for the area since the weather is obviously different.

    Any way to pull this off so Top Speed can do the minor changes and I dont have to pay for a whole new Protune.

    I don't think so but I'm not 100% sure, most shops don't want to just adjust another shops map anyway, they usually want to retune it

    email the original tuner and ask if you can datalog and him send a new map. Otherwise and I would suggest have topspeed retune it. You will be happier in the end.

    There is no way to open another tuners map. I would suggest asking the tuner if he would send you the map in a RACE format... but honestly thats a shot in the dark.

    The only other option would be to bring the car to us (TopSpeed) and have it retuned, if the setup is nothing major it shouldn't take long as we have many good basemaps to start from.
