Default CAN YOU SHARE YOUR TUNER

how does this work? seems to me that if someone has one, they can hook it up to your car and tune it....correct?

No, you can only marry your tuner to one car.

It only works with one car, when you download the new custom tune to your car, it saves your stock settings so you can turn it back to stock whenver you want.

What I was told you can do (but I have not tried it yet), if you just want to test it on your car to decide if you want to buy one, is return your friend's car to stock, then put the tune into your car. After you try it, you return yours to stock and then you can retune his. You just can't have any more than one car tuned (and one car's stock program stored in the tuner) at one time.

Can somebody confirm this?

This is correct. You must return the original car to stock before tuning another car.

But wouldn't there be a problem if one was a manual & the other a automatic? Also when you get the tune they ask for a computer code. If they are different would the tuner work?

The tune is different for an auto and a stick, but I'm not sure if that means you can't use it, or if the computer would just not accept tuning from the tuner that wasn't applicable. Try calling Evolution Performance is Aston, PA. Fred really knows his stuff when it comes to tuning.
