Default Can"t tune my C6

I posted a few weeks back about my C6 and the window sticker saying it was delivered to GM headquarters in Detroit the brake light and door handles being body color (dsom), it having 149 miles on it and when you wash the car you can see that it had a Chevrolet or Corvette banner across the top of the windshield. Now I can:t get the car tuned as the Tuner can"t seem to get into the computer, seems it has different files than other C6. The car was built in Feb. Anyone had this problem? I bought the car at a dealership in Texas and he said it was in a show. Why would you need different tuning for a show?

Mine was a Feb build also and they had trouble with the Beta LS2 edit, but OK now.

It may have some pre production software in it. You can try to have the dealer check the file ID's and flash in the latest cal if it is not already in it. Then LS2 Edit shouldn't have a problem. Unfortunately that is a common problem with some of the software out there. I remember seeing some of the same issues when the C5 column lock recall software was released. Some software wouldn't recognize the new operating system so you couldn't access the PCM
