Nope... you wanna play you gotta pay. They have tune piracy protection built into the units.

That and the tuners save off your stock program to load it back in when you want to return to stock. One is the piracy thing, the other vin locked for the above reason. If you load in the tuners programs and get your tuner stolen or lose it, its to the dealer to get re-flashed. You can still use them for diagnostics on other vehicles without a problem though.

FYI: if you have a problem with it there is no warranty. Superchips will only warrant original purchasers.
