Hardware: Unknown

Alright. I got my Predator and I'm still a bit leary of using it since the previous truck had issues downloading it. It has apparently been checked and in working order but when I plug it into the truck and go to "INFO" it says version V.9r05 and below it says "Hardware: Unknown" Is that normal or does it mean there is an issue?

That is normal.

Thanks MikeL

OK, so I was going to load this thing just now but figured I'd check a couple things out first. I went to check the CALID and it said it could not read mine and to turn the key on. The key was already on though. So, my question is this, should the Predator already be able to read my CALID just because it is plugged in to the OBDII port, or does it need to be downloaded before it will read it? I'm not trying it again until I get an answer to this question......

I would plug in the tool, let it boot up then turn the key on when it says to do it. then you will know if it can read your calid or not. If it does then you will get to move on. If it don't you can do nothing and hurt nothing. Being that you have the latest download you should be covered on calids.

One thing I've learned about DLs is that you follow the instructions they give otherwise there could be big problems.
I plugged it in and did just as it said. It told me to turn the key to "ON" then I went to check the CALID. Once there it told me it could not read the CALID and to "TURN THE KEY TO ON". The key was already on per the previous instruction. That's where I have an issue.....

K I thought you plugged it in with the key on. I have done that before, I get nervous every time I do a tune as well. I try not to change often and just drive it. Man I hope you get it figured out, they drive so much nicer with that little extra, of course you know that already.

good luck

Yeah. I got it figured out. The guy I got it from (A member here) said he will take it back no problem. I got a line on another one that has never been loaded on any truck and it is an awesome price too. I will probably go ahead and get that one just because I'm all excited about it now. I don't really need it though since my truck does just fine with the Van Aaken box on it....

Got my new Predator and it read my CALID just fine so I loaded it. I have it stacked with my Van Aaken Duration box so I guess it's time to start saving for trans parts......

Unfortunately I was just thinking that I forgot to check which version is loaded into it and if it is the original one then I just wiped out my key counts.... If I get the latest version is there a way to reinstall the correct number of keycounts???

Good deal, enjoy.

Well, mine is the 8r28 version so I guess I just wiped out my keycounts!

Any of the newer version adjust for tire size yet???
