Did I just not hook up the gryphon correctly. Also whats the other small connector for on the obdII connector side of the cable?
Any help would be awesome. I just want to get this thing going. Thanks,

You may/probably have a locked Edge/Gryphon. It won't be the first time.

The little connector is now part of an Edge-supplied cable that is a generic one that accommodates diesel trucks too. You can simply ignore it.

Do you know the guy you bought it from? I think he's trying to have the best of two worlds, a tuned truck AND money back on his programmer (which he doesn't need now that his truck is tuned).

But, he may be outsmarting himself. If his PCM needs to be reflashed, and it is not holding the stock tune, I think it stops the truck from starting.

If you can get with the guy you bought it from, have him put it on his truck and activate it. If there's a small "0" (zero) in the upper right hand corner of the screen, the unit IS unlocked and he's not trying to pull a fast one.

Bill CAN unlock the unit. But it will cost you an additional fee.
