Diablosport for 2017's
So i heard GM changed their coding/encryption for 2017 model year. That's why Diablo is having issues with getting the 17 programs out. Anyone else know if this is true?

Not really having issues, we have been able to flash them internally for some time, the issue is implementing the extra steps required for the 17s to our servers, etc.
Tunes for C7s are already done, as well as 17 Camaro and 17 Trucks, and are actually already in the tools, but won't work until the new steps are added....shouldn't be but a couple weeks.
Now as far as 2017 A8 guys, the TCM is not currently able to be tuned
Thanks

The engine tuning is the same for Auto and Manual, but the guy with the A8 will not get the same tuning experience as previous years because the tuner can't work on the A8. Correct? So you're "stuck" with the stock A8 management. Besides making the A8 shifts quicker/shorter than stock, what else can't a tuner improve because of the TCM encryption?
BTW - I had an '07 A6 and the A6 tune was a big improvement over stock. It made the shifting much much quicker. But Chevy's made a lot of improvements in the last 10 years. Considering the torque converter issues with the A8 and its already quick shifting, maybe its a good thing that the TCM is locked. IDK...just throwing it out there.

Maybe the question should be...what can't the tuner do for the A8 because of the TCM encryption?

Diablosport,
Are you saying you can't and never will offer TCM tuning for 2017? Or, are you saying you just haven't figured it out yet and it's possible TCM tuning could be incorporated at a later date?

Not yet, still working on implementing the new processes required for 2017, but its all ready to go other than that. We have a 2017 Silverado we have been tuning every day and I hope to see a release in the next 2-3 weeks for the i2.
