    So the end user pays for the autocal device, but is always confined to having to deal with the selling tuner for tune support on said autocal device? What if they have a disagreement? Is the owner of the autocal stuck with dealing with that tuner or can the autocal be used with another flashscan cable somehow?

    The way to look at it is that the end user customer isn't actually buying an AutoCal as such. Rather they are purchasing tuning services from a specific tuner, with that tuner electing to deliver their tuning services on the AutoCal device.

    The AutoCal cannot be used by any other tuner, nor be unlinked and reused by another tuner.

    Adding to Andrew, an AC unit is linked to a particular V2's license number. A tuner purchases a few AC units, loads a tune file and necessary config files using the V8 software, then delivers the AC unit to the customer. The customer then reads their stock file and either downloads the included tune or sends their stock tune back to a tuner via email. The tuner makes the necessary adjustments to the tune and emails it back to the customer who loads it onto the AC, then the customer downloads the tune to their vehicle.

    The AC unit is simply a delivery method and is why EFILive is asking the tuners and tunershops to support the AC units and not EFILive. An AC unit is designed to be delivered to a customer and then can be loaded with up to 8 VIN licenses in order to tune a customer's vehicles.
