I just baught an sct x3 tuner but not getin it to work i was just wondering if this tuner will work on my 07 v6 mustang

Joeywhat

It should...what exactly are you trying to do? The device may not have any preloaded tunes on it...

07mustangthomas

Ive tryed puting the tunes that bama emailed to me put im haveing trouble doing it

What exact problem are you having?

Did you purchase the tuner new or used ? If it was used and the car was not returned back to stock ? The tuner is locked to that vehicle and will then have to be shipped to SCT to be unlocked !

07mustangthomas

Its used but its been tured back to stock i updated the tuner today

In that case, make sure you have SCT live load software downloaded on your PC..

Then make sure you have the latest firmware/software versions downloaded from the SCT website along with the latest drivers for windows..

Right click on your tuning files that were E-mailed to you, and select save and then save to your desktop..

Plug your X-Cal III into your PC via USB cable, wait for the live load window to upload, chose which file you want in each slot, example tune 1, 2, or 3 and so on..

Type a brief name or description into each file slot, then when prompted to select file, select my computer, desktop and then when you see your tune file, either right click or double click to select it and then when prompted to upload, select upload and wait for the file to write and upload into your device..

If you have any additional problems ? Just let me know !

How do i get my car information on the sct tuner tho

m05fastbackGT

I'm not quite sure that I understand your question Thomas

All I can tell you is.. Once you download your Bama tunes into your car's PCM via your OBD II port, the tuner automatically stores your car's stock calibration files into your X-CAL III..

If your referring to your car's stock calibration code ?

You simply select the option for read strategy, and that will display your stock calibration code..

Other than that, I'm not aware of how you would go about getting any additional information about your car into the SCT tuner..

However your Bama tuning files should already have all the necessary calibration parameters for your car set up for you, so if and when you want to make any adjustments or changes.. You simply go into your user adjustment menu settings and follow the on screen directions and make your selections from there..

If your still having trouble concerning how to go about getting any additional information about your car from the SCT tuner ? I would contact Bama tech support and find out from them, as I honestly don't have the technical expertise to provide you with the correct answer for that question..

Is it programmed to my vehicle cuz each time i hook it up it throws error codes

m05fastbackGT

What you need to do then, is contact Bama tech support and provide them with the error codes.. They'll be able to straighten everything out for you from there !

07mustangthomas

Ok thank u very much

m05fastbackGT

Your very welcome ! In the meantime, keep me posted and let me know what you find out from Bama tech support

07mustangthomas

They said that the tunes wasnt progranming rite

m05fastbackGT

So what are they doing to fix the problem.. Are they sending you new tune files ?

07mustangthomas

No it was my fault i didnt load it rite lol im new to the tune thing

m05fastbackGT

So did they walk you through how to load them correctly ?

07mustangthomas

Yes they did i thought it loaded by itself and i wasnt pushing the progran button ob the sct setup site

m05fastbackGT

That's why I provided you with step by step instructions Thomas ! Those instructions are the very same steps I use when installing new tuning files and I've never had any problems at all..

At any rate, I'm glad that Bama tech support was able to walk you through and straighten everything out for you..

Hopefully now you'll be able to really enjoy driving your Stang with your new tunes
