In addition, you need credits for writing, so you can only physically write your car if your tuner used the same MPVI2 device, if you have your own, you'd need to buy credits for your unit first.

As Josh said, unlike the ECM, the T87A TCM module cannot be read. When one tries to read it, the process seems to succeed, but you end up with a stock TCM tune file, which is what the warning is about.

Therefore, I'd say it is essential that you obtain your actual tune file(s) from your tuner so that you have a reference "after tune" state that you can always write into the car, should you tweak the tune yourself, have someone else modify it or for some reason need a new module later etc.
Alright, thank you. Sorry you guys for me so repetitive with my questions. I seriously almost shit my pants so i am just making sure i get all my questions answered.

Thank you all for your time and assistance during this little mental crisis i had lol
