Default Diablo Predator Tuner

My Diablo Predator Tuner is telling me part number not found when I connect. Diablo says that the car needs to be flashed with the latest software from the dealer. I requested this at the last oil change and I'm still getting the same message. Do you think dealer just feed me a line of when they said they re-flashed? Is there another way I can resolve this?

Do you know if you ECM programming is # 12613186? This is the latest version that addresses the potential battery run-down situation.

I'm not clear from your 2 posts - did they reflash you with that # above?

If so, and Diablo tells you need the lastest flash from GM and you actually have it, then you may have an older version of software in your Predator.

When you start up your Predator, what version of .crom software does it say is loaded in the Predator - is it 7r99?

According to the Diablo website

( http://www.diablosport.com/index.php...display&pid=68 )

there is a new version of the .crom software : 8r01

It sounds like that if you do have the 12613186 flash, you may need to upgrade your Predator to the 8r01 version.

Do you have the cable (9-pin serial cable, or probably a serial/USB cable if you don't have an old computer with a serial port)?

Do you either have a laptop you can take out to the car, or a power adapter to power up your Predator inside?

The instructions and the required download and installation software are on that Diablo website in the above post.

Any questions, post here or PM.
