it depends on wether its the old black unit or the new one. old ones cannot be reset however the new ones can by superchips at a cost and only by the person who brought it or owns it basically

It wont work... They lock themselves to one car so people cant sell them on. Superchips can re set some but it costs and you need to have a good reason and buying it off someone else isnt!!!

The RS ones setting will be different as well mate...
