    Are Tuning Files Transferable to another VIN?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Probably a long shot, but if I flash back to stock can I "sell" my APR tune by assigning my file to a possible buyer's VIN?

    The S5 is going away soon and would love to be able to recoup some of the flash's cost -

    Each ECU has a different box code, different box codes mean the cars come with different options. You can't just move any S5 tuned ECU to any other stock car. There are immobilizer issues, key issues etc. List goes on.
