OFT do not insert any license info into your ROM in the car. Unlike EcuTek

With Ecutek it inserts license info in ROM, if you overwrite it you need to get licience renewed from Ecutek, or pay for new licience. As I understand it you cannot transfer Ecutek liciences, so all you can on-sell is the cable.

The OFT just keeps a copy of your original Tune ROM in its memory (of tablet)

If you want to "unmarry" the OFT from your car simply write back your original ROM from tablet then erase tablet. You are then free to sell the OFT to someone else as a complete solution with access to tunes ect.

They seem to be quite easy to on-sell for this reason, they can also be on-sold to BMW Porche Mazda owners of supported vehicles.

I would buy OFT use it until your about to get turbo kit/Ecutek then unmarry OFT ,and sell OFT. Just make sure you unmarry OFT BEFORE you use Ecutek othetwise you will overwrite you EcuTec licience when you un-marry OFT.

see OFT TIPS thread link below
