I updated per the instructions and my tunes were deleted.

i have had my tuner for over a year. i perormed the update with the tunes still on it and when completed all the tunes were still there. I wasn't worried since these tunes were for my 2010 and not my 2013. It was an experiment for me to see if the tunes got deleted. not sure how I got lucky...

You should be able to contact your custom tuning dealer and have your old tune files emailed to you. It's a very easy process, much faster and easier then updating.

Thanks, Doug

Any ideas...I tried to run the update and now I have a error on the tuner and can not go anywhere inside tuner...will not progress past one screen saying error.
Please help..

Go to SCT website and on bottom of page hit the help tab, they connected to my computer while we were on phone together and he fixed it, I had same errors.

They have some great tech support.

Yup. I want the people that can't get their tuner right to connect to my computer. Sounds like a good idea. :jester:

Connecting to a computer remotely is commonly used in many markets.

so... what is it actually fixing?

Well when it was acquiring the drivers from Windows, windows popped up a box to allow to install, after that is when I noticed it corrupted the system file,
They use some software to re flash the SCT to firmware.
