Hi JD,
When you go to put a new tune in a PCM, the first thing the SCT does is download the stock tune from the PCM and VIN lock to that PCM. Then you load in the desired tune. It can only hold one stock downloaded tune. To use on a second vehicle, you have to put the first vehicle back to stock, taking the stock tune out of the memory location in the box, which unlocks the box VIN. You get three uses on different vehicles following that procedure. After that, the box would have to go back to SCT to get reset.
The upside to this is that if you tune a vehicle, you don't have to buy a new SCT for the next car you have and can also sell the box if ever desired. Basically, you'd just put the stock tune back in it, then use the SCT for the next vehicle. If the year or model was different, we could email the appropriate tunes. The downside, you can't tune multiple vehicles at the same time.
The tunes cannot be modified by the user and there are no adjustment parameters that you can make with the box, which is why it's important to get the information about the vehicles and any current mods. We can load in a tune for planned mods though, such as headers, using one of the three slots available.
