No matter where I posted this question, (performance or audio) it would be to the wrong group - but here goes. I have a Predator C&L Custom Tune in my Mustang. This week the vehicle will be going in for the TSB on the front strut popping and to have my Shaker 1000 replaced - both known issues.
Here's my concern. Prior to replacing the Shaker 1000 head unit the data from the existing head unit must be downloaded and installed into the new head unit. How is that done? Can't be through the OBD-II diagnostic connector. I don't really want to flash my vehicle back to stock just to have the radio head unit replaced. Does anyone know?

I have never flashed my car back to stock to have the Skipper1000 replaced. I don't know where the d/l the info, but you don't have to reflash.
Hope the replacement works out for you. I am on my 4th one, last two have been "B" series, it is still a piece of $hit. I gave up on getting them replaced and am now installing an aftermarket unit.

All vehicle bussed communication is performed through the DCL connector with the WDS scan tool.
When the radio data is downloaded it is done on a "menu driven" basis, that is the scan tool is working only within the audio section of the data bus. As long as the tech is only in that section your flash for the tune will not be affected.

Matt - Thank you very much! I will post your answer on the performance section as I posted the question there as well. Sounds like some others are giving me "the deer in the headlight look" when I asked this question.
So basically as long as they stay in the audio menu I should be good to go - correct?

I've had my Shaker for about one month now and there are so far only two things the time it takes to load/read a cd and some that I rip at home will read as a BAD CD and as far as I can figure that the copy right issues must also stay attached ? so if you buy music be it in Canada ( Pure Tracks ) or the USA ( Music Match ) you sould have the right to rip a copy for your personal use :scratch:
