    probably not worth much. to reprogram them youll need a UV eraser and an EPROM burner

    dunno where you could get it done professionally. you dont know anyone with a burner? you could invest in a burner for around $60, then you can make your own tunes whenever you want

    just buy a burner. i bought mine for $40 in canada off ebay. and it works fine. just search for willem eprom burner. i still gotta learn all about the tuning side of things. greenfoam said it isn't that hard when ya get used to it..
    download tuner pro and have a look at the program.

    i bought a uv eraser and they are nice and quick. half an hour or an hour and they are done.. that doesn't seem a bad deal at all.
