Default predator problem!!

i have a 99 A4 and just bought a predator for it and when i tried to install it. it first has to copping the factory tune and came up with a read error and stoped copping the factory tune. i have tried it many times with no luck. asked dialbo what could be the problem and got an email saying that some thing must be drawing power to give this problem. my car as all the factory options hud, f45, 3.15, telescoping wheel but is all stock. is this programer broke or will it just no work on my car? the production date of my car is 10/98
thanks,
99SilverC5A4

You need to pull a fuse.

Low battery voltage would be my guess.

The A/C and radio are all off right?

Also if you have a radar detector or anything at all that swithes on with your key - disable or remove it.
