If this has been installed to your car I don't think it will work for anyone else. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Exactly correct. RR will send you a new tune specific to your VIN. The device is just the means to getting getting the tune downloaded to your car.

$100. Cost associated with unlocking the unit to use again are high.

That's their way of making people buy a new tune from them. Anyway, it does the same job for a bit cheaper

Hi,

Here is our policy for transferring tunes/devices:

RR Racing tunes are sold for one specific car only. They cannot be used to tune multiple cars. However, our customers can resell our tunes following this procedure —

a. The stock file must be written to the ECU first (please select Write/Stock File).
b. The existing customer must contact us by emailing to service@rr-racing.com or calling 484-756-1777 to let us know that you want to sell your tune. Please provide the name you used buying the tune and device serial number (on the back of the MyGenius device, or on the Info screen of Powergate device).
c. We will email you the procedure to reset the device.
d. RR Racing has a tune transfer charge that can be calculated by taking the cost of a similar tune minus $250. The cost of transferring a tune to a new car for the same tune owner is $120 (the previous car must have been flashed to stock). Please note that RR Racing supports one transfer only. RR Racing can approve a second transfer depending on circumstances. Also, when a tune is sold with a car, RR Racing reserves the right to charge for any new tune updates.
e. The new tune owner has to repeat the ID reading procedure, and then we will email the tune file to the new owner.

You can always benefit from a tune. If you want to run the RR intake then you definitely need a tune.

When I got one of these I had to pay RR-Racing $430 to get a new tune...

Also you need to run 93 for their tunes, so if your in CA just keep that in mind, because we don't have 93, would have been nice to know before I bought the tune, I know you can blend E85 but I don't want to go through the hassle of doing that every time I fill up

Not sure where you get this information that 93 is needed for their tune. I moved to CA from NJ and running 91 for 2 months now with the tune and no issues. Maybe it's recommended but not required.

Yes the car will run on the tune, I ran it for 200 miles on 91 and the car didn't feel right, I was much happier with 91 and the oem tune...

My car is an ISF, so maybe your motor can better handle the 91 octane tune

I also got that information straight from Simon at RR-Racing.. And I quote him below..."None of our tunes work well at 91 octane – you need high octane (93 or higher). If you cant get 93 octane, then we suggest adding up to 30% e85 or adding octane booster. You can drive on 91 octane, but you will lose power"

And this is true because, my KCLV would be at 15 after the tune reset and never pass 16, even drop to 13 at times, as soon as I put the oem tune back on, my KCLV would shoot up to 21

Have you checked your KCLV?

Yes and I have been monitoring my KCLV everyday, bud. It's currently 22 right now. This is my daily driver and putting 100 miles a day, always mixing with spirited driving whenever I get a chance.

That might be it coz you have a V8 car so it's obvious they have a different tune for the IS-F and RC. It's a bummer if you have to go thru the 93 octane requirement. Sorry my bad.
