I am not sure if the question has been asked so here goes: if one purchases the tune and later sells their car can the tune/cable be sold to someone else and used on that new car?

The M-Tuner Dongle and Licensing are VIN locked to the original car and cannot be changed.

If you ever sell the car that you used the M-Tuner Suite on, the new owner of the car can use the existing M-Tuner dongle you purchased, but will be subject to relicensing if they would like to use M-Tuner software, support, and updates.

So it is not like a Cobb AP then, where you can pay a small licensing fee in order to use it on a different VIN?

Our pricing structure for a relicense is very fair for the market. Right now, the M-Tuner dongles are VIN locked the car you license them to.

I thought you could not reuse it if you sold the car it was licensed to? But if one can, what is the cost?

I imagine since its tied to the VIN and you sell... the new owner could just continue to use the dongle and the Mtuner and the same license as it would be tough for M to know that you sold, unless the new owner calls in or M is otherwise notified. This seems fair since you bout the package for the car and not the owner... My 2cents.
PS> While I liked the idea of the MTuner and the guys on this thread have been fantastic, I found a different solution thru a pro tuner referred by my Porsche dealer here in SoCal and the guy came to the house and the cost was a factor after having put in over $12k in mods on the car. His tune or any ECU tune for that matter really opens the car up and IMO is worth doing for the car even though the number gains are not like with a turbo car. If I had not found a different source I would have surely gone with M-Tuner as I think the flexibility, customization and support would be worth it. I also now have opted out of 200 cell cat headers because of the tune and they way the car feels. Next up to try throwing in some E85 into the tank!
