Unpairing OFT ...

[CincyJohn]

Did a search and pretty sure I know the answer, but do I need to do anything else other than rewrite the ECU back to "original" to unpair my OFT+. Also, I assume most people erase theirs before selling - is that something I should do too?

If you want to un-marry the OFT the CURRENT owner MUST write back the original tune to their car from the protected slot in the OFT as the OFT checks the VIN number. The new owner cannot do this step. It must be done on the CURRENT owners car.

If you want to un-marry the OFT the CURRENT owner must perform step 1
1. Flash back your original tune in the first protected slot
2. Connect OFT to PC running Open Flash Manager software connected to Internet and ERASE OFT.

Apparently after 5 Erases you have to contact/email Openflash guys (with the OFT serial number ) to reset the erase count.
Note this is a count of erasing of the entire OFT not tune files you can erase/load tune files as much as you like.

After Original tune is written back to CURRENT owners car and the OFT is erased its free to marry up to another vehicle note they can be used on BMW Porsche and Mazda vehicles, or its free to marry up to a new flash the dealer may have done.
