Default Diablo Predator

I bought a Diablo predator from STS to tune my car. I ended up just using it to put a base tune on my car and then tuned it with HP Tuners. Is the Diablo ok to sell to someone else or is it pretty much only set up for my car now?

you need to do the "restore original backup" process from the predator to your car, so that it will restore the original stock tune back to the car and will unlock/reset.

if you don't do that, then the predator will still be locked to your car and no one else can use it.

so, if you restored the original backup to your car before you tuned it with hp tuners, then you are all set.

if you did not, then you have to use hp tuners to put back the "stock tune" to the car that it saved... then hook up the predator to the car and go to OPTIONS > TROUBLESHOOTING > RESTORE ORIGINAL BACKUP in order to do the restore process...

then your predator will be unlocked/reset and good to go for someone else..

and then finally, us hp tuners to put your custom hp tune back on your car.
