Default diablo sport predator tuning issues

ok so i just got the diablo sport predator programmer and im trying to use it. im having some problems though maybe someone can help me out with this.

here it goes.. i hooked the predator up and tried to tune it however it wont download my stock car settings. now i have never ever had the car tuned and i am the only owner of the vehicle.
i called and they advised me to take out the three fuses as referred in the instructions.

the only fuse i can find is RDO/S-BAND/VICS ? is this the right one?
the instructions say to remove three the radio, radio amp and the info fuses.. where are these on a c6 corvette what are they labeled as?

please help!!!

The fuses are located in the passenger footwell. The fuse cheat sheet is in the cover of the fuse box if I remember correctly.

Did you buy it new? If you bought it used, maybe the previous owner never removed the previous cars tune.

I got it figured out ... Works great now. The car feels slightly more responsive.

Did you just upload the canned tune into your car or did you adjust anything else on top of the canned tune?

You don't need to pull those fuses each time on a C6. I am not sure about some other cars, but in the Vette as long as the radio is completely shut down and the climate control is turned off you will be fine. You also don't want to change the state of anything, if your door is open when you start downloading, leave it open, same with the hood hatch, pedals, shifter anything. Good rule is don't touch anything. When you are tuning from the OBD connector you are on the comm line, so is everything else. If you are in the middle of a tune and you open the door it is going to send that signal on the comm line and interupt your data download or upload. Depending on where you are in that, it could cause the ECM to be non functional. Again, good rule of thumb is not to touch anything and have everything turned off, including lights.
Have fun with your Predator.
