We are having some trouble with our server today. Please get me the calibration ID of the vehicle by selecting
OPTIONS/TROUBLESHOOTING/SHOW CALIBRATION ID
While hooked up to the vehicle with the key on and we can email you the file directly. Then email that to
support@diablosport.com
and we can email you the file directly.

Or simply wait and try it later today or tomorrow and we should have it fixed by then.

Hello Mike,
I am having the same issue as outlined above.
I had my car in the dealership yesterday for the same lost of power issue.
They flashed the calabration to 05094592AH.
I called your tech support and they advised me to downgrade but I am concerned that this may cause my car to stall as well.
Will there be an update to this calabration soon?
Will the stalling issue come back if I downgrade?

Cheers!

Make, model and year of vehicle - 2006 Chrysler 300 w/ V6
model # of Predator or Trinity - U7136
software revision on the Predator or Trinity - Release 9r06

Vehicle needs an update, but no update to be found?

Post by ihatespamiam »

I tried installing a performace tune on my stock tuned 2008 Dodge Charger.
when I select Performance tune, and agree, it comes up with the message that this vehicle needs an update. When I plug it back into my PC, DSD Downloader recognizes ther tuner, but doesn't pull up any additional tabs to download a calibration update. I'm asuming I should see something there judging by the other posts I'm reading. All the software I have has been downloaded from the website and are the most current ones listed. Am I missing a link somewhere? Thanks

I understand that the vehicle needs the update, but I don't have the tab
4.
If the software detects that you need a proper update, you will see a new tab at the bottom of the application labeled "Calibration Update". Click on the bottom labeled "Calibration Update" and look for a button that says "Calibration Updater". Click that button.

The tool says that my vehicle needs the update, DSDdownloader doesn't show the tab.

Your new Version 2.2.2.4, installs Trinity drivers on my PC. It does not let me bypass the Trinity driver install. I de-selected the Trinity option at the beginning and did the Custom install. Just FYI. It is upgraded to 2.2.2.4. I just did not know if you guys knew that Predator DSDownloader is getting extra files that are not needed or are they needed for the 2.2.2.4?
Thanks

This is what my tool says after I've plugged it into the car and then plugged int my computer. It is not storing the calibration data to make the update. I talked to, I believe Vance last week. When I tried calling back the next day, I think you folks were having problems with your phones, so I'm kinda at a standstill now. You'll notice that the Vehicle Calibration line is not stored here. it shows the calibration number when the tool is plugged into the car. It is 05094965AF. I think the tool is communicating fine because I can monitor the live data through my laptop.
Thanks John

06 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi.....Purchased a U7137x, received it about an hour ago and as soon as I plugged it into the truck I get the vehicle needs an update message. I go to the update page and am instructed to buy a cable to download the update. What is the deal? I just bought it and now it is USELESS until I purchase more equipment from you! This is BS and seems to me to be a scam. If the tuner is delivered USELESS UNTIL UPDATED, why not just include the required cable with the unit and raise the price accordingly. At this point I am D#mn sure not happy with your product.

The tuner is probably up to date but, based on the message you stated, your vehicle's PCM software is not. You can visit your local dodge dealer for an update but they usually dont perform them unless it is to resolve a specific problem/condition. The dealer "flashes" aka updates also update the operating system of the truck to a more stable version which is what the predator is asking to do.

Because people dont want to go to the dealer for a random "update" DiabloSport engineered the Predator to be able to do it for you but you need to download the appropriate software for YOUR particular truck as not every truck has the same software, hence the need to interface with a PC and the download process from the internet with the PC interface kit.

Not every truck needs this. It is a case by case basis and is dependent on the PCM of your truck and amount of service performed by the dealer. So for some, it needed on the first use, and for others the Predator is plug and play without the need for any interface cables.

2010 Challenger R/T - can't do the update

Post by BigWeb12 »

After sitting on hold for 45 mins :evil: I finally hung up. But i have followed these instructions and still can't get my predator updated. I have downloaded the DSD downloader and the driver from the web site. I just don't know what to do to get my predator updated so i can load the tune into my car. I would really like to talk with someone as that will be much easier than doing this over this forum. My number is 316-992-1919.

Thanks
