When the unit is next used to flash an edited map, the factory map will be uploaded again to effectively lock the flasher to that vehicle VIN until once again the factory map is restored.If any tuners could confirm, however I am 99% sure that that is correct.Cheers,Ben.

As my understanding is once it has been used to flash a vehicle it cannot be used on another vehicle untill it has been sent back to CAPA to be unlocked. I have been told this because once factory tune/VIN has been stored "it" can't changed /overwritten!Please Street Tuner, what are your thoughts!

This can be done by an edit tuner with their software, without having to send the unit back to CAPA.
