+====== CHECK THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED COMPONENTS FIRST! ======
+This is mainly a concern for someone buying a used 2G V1 or 2G V2 package.  But everyone should first check to make SURE they are getting a complete DSMLink/ECMLink package before making a third party purchase.  [[buyingused|Click here]] for details.
 ====== V3 Transfer/new forum account ======
 When someone buys a new ECMLink package from us off our website, there's a space they can provide a user ID to be created on our forums automatically for them.

 The ECMLink serial number can be found on the bottom of the V3 flash device.

-**__OR__** you can also get this by connecting to the ECU with the ECMLink application on your laptop and looking in the lower right hand corner of the main screen.  In the "Device Info" section, you'll see your serial number listed there as well.

+**SERIAL NUMBER NOTE: PLEASE READ BEFORE PULLING YOUR ECU AND CHIP**
+Nobody ever seems to see this section, so I'm trying to make it stand out more.
+You do NOT have to remove your ECMLink flash module to get the serial number.  You can  get your chip's serial number by connecting to the ECU with the ECMLink application on your laptop and looking in the lower right hand corner of the main screen.  In the "Device Info" section, you'll see your serial number listed there as well.

 The DSMLink chip ID is a __four-digit__ number printed after the word DSMLink on the EPROM chip inside the ECU. It's also printed on the outside of the black protective box the package originally shipped in.  You can see examples of this 4-digit number below (1307, 2307, 3307).

 **NOTE:** You can use the new V3 application off our website to get the serial number of your chip as described in the V3 section above.  You just have to pull up the "configure connection" dialog and set the device type to match your ECU in order to connect the first time.  This saves you from having to pull out the ECU if it's already installed in the car.

-====== 2G Cables - replacement/purchase ======
-Believe it or not, your 2G DSMLink cable/adapter is the key to your DSMLink package. Do yourself a huge favor by treating it as such. Don't lose it and don't leave it lying around in your car while you're away. If you damage your adapter, we'll gladly repair, often free of charge; but the damaged adapter (at least the internals) must be returned to us first.
-Because people are copying our chips, selling them, and then telling the buyers to contact us to get a replacement cable/adapter, we've had to suspend sales of the adapter entirely. This makes it very awkward for someone that has their car broken into or simply loses their cable. We can't distinguish one situation from the other on our end. We tried for awhile, but then people got wise to what we were asking for in terms of "proof" and just started faking that.
-So we're left with no choice but to simply stop replacing cables. I suspect this is why other shops selling similar products had to do the same thing. You can thank anyone that you find selling copies of our stuff for the hassle.
