Some one sold you a tuner with a limited amount of tune transfers.
Use them wisely, grasshopper.

What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that you can only load and unload 4 more times to your car? Or does it mean that you can download 4 sets of tunes from brenspeed or Bamatunes? I hope I made myself clear.

what that means is that when you load a tune onto your vehical, the tuner locks to that vehical untill you return it to stock. What the unlocks are for is if you don't return your vehical to stock, and then want to " unlock it " to use on another vehical.

Let me get this straight, I plan of keeping my car for a long time. Are you saying that I could keep loading and unloading (and upgrading) tunes as much as I want, as long as I don't use it on another mustang? Also, I bought my SCT xcal 2 used and it had 5 unlocks remaining, so basically it could be used on 5 different mustangs or on my one as many times as I want?

Correct, u can use it on you vehical as many time as you want. The unlocks only come into play when you use it on another vehical without returning the previous one to stock

Hmm, I never noticed this when I open up LiveLoad. I remember seeing an unlock button but I don't remember seeing a number of unlocks left.

BTW, there's an edit button so you can edit a post without having to submit a new one.
