Uprev Locks own e-tune maps

theDreamer

You can still take your car and have it tuned by another shop.
They will not be able to modify the tune on the car most likely, though a pro tuner might be able to call Uprev and request the password to tweak it. This is not new, a lot of pro tuners put locks on the tune so others cannot access it and copy what they are doing.

Exactly. The tune is basically the tuner's IP, and letting someone else have access isn't a great business practice.

I don't understand why....

Example:
I add HFC. Then I go to a very good tuner that Maps the car very well.

After a year I add Headers.... ....but I go to another BAD tuner with the previous map made by a GOOD tuner...

The result I am expecting is BAD.... ....what do you think?

This is why, in your scenario, you would datalog the car, send the data to Uprev and they would send you a new tune optimized for your new mods.
