so doug, to clarify a little more, should people do the update and then reload tunes we are running, or is this more for future tunes and or uploads?
does it have anything to do with the tunes, or just for the tuner itself?

Is there any public information available that describes the conditions of the problem and resolution? (Or is that not normal practice? I've got my computer/Info Tech hat on here.)

The updater shows an update for my iTSX but it says there is a Tunes update not a firmware update.
Make sure you return to stock first and also have a copy of your custom tunes on your PC to reload them. If the only custom tunes you have are the ones that the tuner put on your SCT before shipping to you he will have to email you a copy. You can't pull tunes off the tuner to your pc.

my tuner updated when i opened the program, i did return my car to stock first, it didnt effect( or i didnt loose) any of the tunes i had on it. i hadnt had any issues with my tuner or tunes before. i`m guessing everything is cool with it still.
i have read on other forums, some people recommend not updating it. that its only something for the newest cars and can cause more trouble then its worth for some people. it would be nice for sct to release just exactly what is up with the issue, before saying its a critical update and thats it.
