Default Trouble with Diablo

I’m not a total computer slouch but I’m no geek either, however trying to download and upgrade my diablo sport has me perplexed. I followed the download procedures but when I go to find upgraded tune for my C7 I got nothing. Does someone have some A-B-C steps I can try to get this programer to work. I need my C7 up and running

Mike is good about getting on here and addressing any issues.

I had probelms with mine at first and then figured out the installation files that came with the CD were out of date. If you haven't already, go to the Diablo website and download the newer files and install those. After that my Diablo tuner has worked flawlessly.

Car runs flawlessly.
Mine showed it was downloading but when it was done I saw nothing new and no files, just a disk on the computer. I hope Mike gets to me soon, I’m anxious to try the new tune for my C7

Might I suggest posting this in the Diablo thread in the tech section. Mike monitors that thread closely and your likely to get the fastest response there.
Here is the link.

Hopefully you have an Intune. Predator does not work on 2013 or newer. Send an email to Mike at mlitsch@diablosport.com . I had a problem with my install and Mike took care of it in one hour. Great service!
