No answer on the tune forum so let me ask here
Is it necessary to pull the radio,amp,acc, and Onstar fuses when doing the tune with the Predator on a 2006 C6 6sp

Not neccessary but is reccomended. you do not want any power disruption or changes while the tune is loading or it may screw it up.

I have never done it on mine and not had an issue. However they would not put it in the book if there was not a possibility there cold be one. So do it at your own risk.

When I first got my Predator, I pulled the radio fuse to install the tune and the radio died for a couple of days. I ended up pulling and reinstalling the fuse and now it works fine.
Since then, I have loaded several tunes and made adjustments without pulling the radio fuse and it has worked great. Just make sure you turn off the radio and the A/C system before loading a tune. Also, make sure you put the car in the on mode (vs acc mode) by holding down the acc for 10 seconds.

Just a heads up. If you load the new tune and have rear o2 issues, becasue of the EPA, they are no longer turned off.
