I've had my OFT for approximately 14 months and married it to my manual 2013 Oz 86 when I first got it downloading the factory tune to number one position on the tablet where, if I understand it properly, it remains until the OFT is unmarried from the car

I decided not to mod the car or flash any tunes until the car was out of warranty which it now is.

Since my car has had 2 dealers services since I initially downloaded the factory tune there is every possibility that the original factory tune I down loaded 14 months ago has been updated. I can't find any mention of it in my service book but given how slack some dealers in OZ are that doesn't mean it hasn't been done.

In view of this;

Q1. Will the OFT automatically download a newer factory tune if one is on the ECU replacing the initial tune downloaded 14 months ago?

Q2. If it doesn't can it be done manually or would it require un marrying the OFT from the car and then remarrying?

Q3. Given the latest factory tunes are usually available is there a need to download the factory ECU tune on to the tablet again. I mean the factory tunes, depending on region and trans, are generic and not specific to individual cars/ECU's.

Thanks in advance..
