URGENT NOTICE SCT OWNERS - Critical Firmware Update Released
Firmware Release Version: 1.2.142
Importance: Critical
Action: Update all X3 / SF3 products immediately
SCT has released a new version of the X3 (PN: 3000) / SF3 (PN: 3015) device firmware - Version 1.2.142. This is a critical update that resolves issues found with prior versions of the X3 / SF3 firmware.
All SCT customers & dealers are urged to update their device(s) to this latest firmware revision using the SCT Auto Updater Software immediately. Dealers with X3 / SF3 devices in stock are urged to update their inventory to the firmware version 1.2.142 prior to selling these devices or should encourage the consumer to update the device prior to installing it on their vehicle.
FAQ's:
1) I don't want to update my device. Can't I just back date the firmware to resolve the issue?
No. Back dating the firmware may cause additional issues and will not resolve the issue.
2) My car / device are working fine. Should I update to the latest version?
Yes. This is a critical update and your device should be updated immediate to prevent any future issues.
3) Where do I get the SCT Auto Updater Software? How do I install it?

This is taken DIRECTLY from SCT, I'm sure a few of you have gotten this email but I wanna make sure this information is available to all. Feel free to copy this message to any place you think it can help!
Thanks, Doug

So i'm new to this. But i should remove my tune and return it back to stock first? Could this corrupt my custom tune in any way?

I was able to email a tech at SCT yesterday. Said you can send the device to them and they will do the update for free. The catch is that you must first reinstall your stock tune before you send. For supercharged guys like me it means going cold turkey until the device comes back. Not sure this solves anything. Since i have no issues I do not plan to update. I suggest nobody does this if you are happy with your car as it is.

No your custom tune files will not be affected by this update, as before mentioned though you should always be able to contact your tuner and have your files emailed to you for safe keeping.
Thanks, Doug
