Once you program your vehicle, the tuner is 'locked' to that vehicle. So, no, you cannot use a tuner to program multiple vehicles.

If you return your vehicle back to 'stock' with the tuner, then you can use it on another vehicle.

like Winston said, once you use the tuner to program a vehicle, it becomes "locked" to that vehicle. Think of it like buying a software license, you can only use it on one computer.

Interim update: I got my Flashpaq today, finally figured out all the steps to "update" . . . instructions assume the customer is digitally un-stupid. Big assumption!

So tomorrow I'll do the tune . . . and decide which one to start with. But more importantly, I have to figure out just where to put those Superchips decals that came in the box.

Is there a standard location for these?????

Even if I modded a mustang out the *** with stage 3 everything.. I wouldn't do free advertising.. if they wanna know they can ask.

I'll theme my truck for Paxton if they give me a blower though lol.

I put mine on the dash, right above the radio under the airbag light thing. Looks stock and kind of stealthy...lol...that way when people get in they see it and say "whats superchips?"...then I can tell them about the almighty power it unleashes from stock motors...lol

I installed the 91 to start off with, just for the fun of it. Sweet running truck, it now does what I expected a V8 would do in the first place. Smooth, responsive to the foot controller () and to a light tap tothe pedal . . . made me thin "why do I have to pay extra to get this???" . . . Any case, a good buy though arguably overpriced. next week I'll try the pre-programmed 87 and see if I will be happy saving 20 cents / liter (or 75 cents per gallon).

Never would have even known about this option but for this site.
