that sucks
the probleme is that the stock 03 pcm is not built in the same way as the later pcm and stage...
so to buy pass this, you can get a 04 stock pcm...but you have to get it set your vin....and for soem reason flight system won't do it on a stock one (probably legal stuff) and some dealer will say that it can't be done....but it's exactly the same as a stage
a flash at the dealer should be less than 75$ in my mind...and around 0.5h to change the pcm
for a custom flash plus xcal2 is around 650$ if a remember correctly, or buy a ptp package for 1000$
