Loading a Diablo Tune
I just received my Diablo Intune and it's almost finished updating..
Question is this-- When I plug it into my diagnostic port and I'm prompted to turn the key to the "on" position without starting it------ How do I do that since we have push button starting?
Thanks in advance

Push the start button for about 10 seconds to get into the accessory mode. On a manual do not depress the clutch. I believe on an auto do not depress the brake. Once in accessory mode, all the dash lights will go on. If you are in the garage, you headlights might turn on. It is recommended to turn them off along with any other accessories, i.e. radio, ac, radar detectors, interior lights, etc. The reason for doing this is that the ECM does not like voltage draw during flashing.

Roger that, Thanks Mike

Mike is right that you will hold the "bottom" of the "start button" in for approx. 10 seconds so the car goes "pass" the accessory mode and into the "start" mode for lack of a better term which will "not" time out like the accessory mode can. AND NEVER PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL (AUTO) DURING ANY BUTTON PRESS, EVER!
It only takes a "few seconds" of holding the start button in to put the car into accessory mode.

Well I loaded the Diablo Tune and drove about 100 miles yesterday. It behaves better at parking lot speeds without the chugging feeling and feels like it pulls stronger in the mid to upper RPM ranges without the lag feeling I felt before.
I'm liking the changes already!
I'm allowing the ECM to adjust a little more before I start the specific tuning process with Lew.
I have my fingers crossed for even more improvements!
Great product Diablosport !!

Still love the Intune. I have an A-6 and the TM going away and shifts firmed up is the biggest improvement. Really feels like a new car. When I get on it and it downshifts to 1st with the Bullets screaming, that's what Corvettes are all about. Enjoy!

I concur. I get to try out my custom tune later this week.

I tuned my 2006 C6 with the Diablo 93 tune and saw the same results.
Your ride will definitely get better as the ECM adjusts.
Enjoy!

I can tell you that I'm a very happy DiabLew custom tune customer. Loaded my first tune on my C6Z Friday, put a couple hundred miles on it. Ran great. Then data logged for Lew to verify and tweak if needed. He sent me an updated tune right away. Now I'm putting miles on round 2. Grinning from ear to ear the whole time. Woke up the beast in my mostly stock Z.

Another DiabLew fan!
I am also in my second custom tune by Lew and WOW! I thought the Diablo 93 tune was great.... Then I got Lew's first. All I can say is... SMOKE EM If You Got EM!!!!

Hey guys, we've had lots of health issues with Grandma's lately so I've been pretty sidetracked.
Current status is, canned tune loaded, data log performed, first round of Lew Tune loaded and I'm close to 150 miles since then so I will data log again soon for the second round of Lew Tuning.
I am very happy with the results thus far and am thinking that I will need rear tires a little sooner than I had originally planned!

I'm staying stock for now but wondering if a custom tune is something I should consider beyond what the 91 octane canned tune has given me or should I wait until I would make other changes to my ride. I'm also not sure who I am to go to for starting this process if I elect to move in that direction.
I will say that the loading of the 91 octane tune could not have been easier and the results are very cool!
Thanks!
