Hi,

It suggests an order of magnitude, but it also depends on the accuracy
of the calibration information in the i1d3, and this is a complete
unknown.

Sorry, which ColorMunki are you referring to ? (Design/Photo, Create or Display 
?)

I suspect they would have different unlock codes. So someone with such
a device would have to assist in discovering this information.

It's a rather specialised area, so working on such things would
not be very rewarding. Few people have access to the necessary
equipment and standards to re-calibrate spectrometers, since
it is quite expensive (Something like $50000 dollars or so for a
Minolta CS1000 + yearly recalibration at a reference lab., + reference
light sources, reference tiles, also $1000's, etc.)
