![]() The thing that I noticed though under the Vehicle Info section of the RTD, there were 2 vehicles that were listed with the same VIN but with 2 different OS's. I double checked the RTD info and could see the 2 additional credits were been used up already. Then that was it, I tried it a couple of times and no go and it used up my 2 credits. So after checking the RTD info for credits, I proceed to do a "write entire" and noticed the progress bar not going anywhere until a "unlicensed vehicle" message popped out. So I bought 2 credits to license the stock file so that I can Flash (write) it back to the vehicle. So I said to myself, well OK, maybe because the only licensed file was the one that the tuner sent me. ![]() rtd file, it prompted me to get some credits. When I tried doing the Flash (write) of the stock. ![]() I wanted to bring the car back to stock tune (using RTD) so that I can download the file through MPVI2 and build it from there using the HPT. I decided to use this vehicle where tuning is still in progress. Vehicle started right up with no issues and started data logging using VCM Scanner as per tuner's instruction.Ī few days later I received my MPVI2 which I purchased for personal use because I got interested in tuning and as my past time hobby. rtd format to be loaded to the vehicle using RTD software Flash (write complete). Tuner replied with a base custom tune in. Tuner requested to download the stock file from vehicle using the RTD device and send it to them. I agree however, much easier to work with a good supplied tune in the beginning, which is exactly what I had to do with the Magnuson kit I recently did. ![]() You can always go back to stock with the RTD tool, then start tuning from there on the OEM stock tune as if it were a tuner kit. I suppose if it were me in that scenario, have a backup plan to use if you cannot read the tune after it is flashed with the supplied RTD. I am sure they are stuck supplying CARB compliant tunes as well, so therefore it's highly doubtful they would supply any type of tune other than what is already pre-engineered with their kits, and is also probably why they went from super helpful, to nothing recently with all the EPA crackdowns going on with non compliant tune suppliers. Hard to keep that in place when people can modify at will after the fact, then the burden is on them to prove the modifications in a warranty claim scenario. I mean it makes sense, the whole purpose is to be able to lock down the tune to keep everything within their designed limits, and in some cases they offer a powertrain warranty as well with their kits. ![]()
