if you wanted to take it to a different tuner to have it mapped, you would just have to take it to your original tuner first who would remove the map that you paid them for and leave it unlocked for the next tuner. the original tuner could keep a copy of your map on file if you wanted to go back to it. it's just like the pectel t6 in that respect.

imo this is safer for tuners than eproms that can easily be copied (or the protection on them reverse engineered), as the password encryption is a one way process that not even the genius behind it all can get around to extract the maps. he can however wipe it completely clean to start again if somebody cocks up along the line.

that is a feature that does not benefit the diy 'tuner' but does the pro's. and it's a fair system imo as you cannot expect a tuner to do you a map on, for example a yb with t34, -31 and greys etc, that you can just copy for your mate who also builds the same spec motor.
