Typically, you get free tunes from the dealer with the purchase of your tuner. I know Bamachips does that. I am pretty sure that all of the handheld tuners are like the one in my truck in regards to locking. As long as you upload the tune from your car back to the handheld, you can use it in any car that it is applicable to.

But yes, anytime you need a retune (after the initial purchase) due to a combination change, you have to pay for it
