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?


***Never mind i found the answer!******

 

Always return the car to stock before doing any updates to the programmer. It shouldn't affect your custom tune at all but you could always have your tuner send you the file so you can keep it off the device as well.

Thanks, Doug

 

Is this for all sct tuners?

 

I did the update and it deleted my ****ing tunes.

 

Ok now I dont want to do it

 

I'm pretty pissed. I followed the instructions 100%

 

YIKES!!

I hope they can recover those for you... doesnt sound like fun

 

Hell yeah I hope they can. W/o those tunes my sixxers even slower! MFs

 

Same thing happened to me. Sheesh!

 

It'd been nice had we known it would

 

I have read lots of people having issues. They tell u to update and u have to then it doesn't work. They need to get it figured out. I'm not updating until they do.

 

Sheesh....good thing i didn't update it! If my car isn't broke why introduce a problem.

 

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.

 

I don't really understand. Does this update effect my custom tune in any way? Or does it just fix glitches with the device itself?

 

Well it said critical is the only reason I tried then it ****ed my custom tunes

 

Call your tuner and have them email them to you.

 

That's all It took. Talked to BAMA he said he'd have them to me in the next hour.

 

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

 

My custom tunes where removed. What happened there?
