BUMP Back to the top.

Back on topic, where is TCM support? Seriously just admit you are not going to have it and save a lot of people the never ending wait.

nope... predators have limited storage space and memory and can't hold all the additional programming code and saved tune files that would be necessary...

also, the predators will be phased out/discontinued.... being replaced by the new inTune programmer... which WILL have much more storage space and memory, like the Trinity, and will get tcm support when it becomes available...

So what was all the talk about from DiabloSport about "we're working on it" "we'll have it" and now all of a sudden the Predator is not capable and is being discontinued. Now the ONLY option is to buy the more expensive Trinity or "in tune" programmer. How much is that going to cost?..Sounds like a money making scam to me.
Everybody has been looking forward to getting TCM support with the Predator because they were told it was coming, guess it was all bs so they could keep selling Predators, so much for that. I guess I am going to be stuck with a Predaotr that is going to be discontinued.
Is there going to be some kind of trade in deal when this new TCM finally comes out? It's a little upsetting knowing people were told one thing and were lied to, then told the product they bought that had TCM "in the works" is not getting it and being discontinued.....BAD business on the part of DiabloSport.

Most of us already knew what was up when perfectly good Predators got phased out by a mere firmware update (9r11 or 9r12 or so). Don't be surprised if TCM magically gets pushed to only working for 2015 and up vehicles, lol.

Well, I am about to give up on the ole Trinity. I was about to have Lew custom tune the new Silverado 6.2L, but now that I see this 3 year old thread on TCM support, I think I'm leaning towards the custom tune from my dealership (includes TCM) since they'll honor the warranty if they tune it. i can sell off the Trinity and more than pay for the custom tune...

Can anyone come up with something to keep me waiting (like a real timeline, perhaps)?

Again, Lew is the man, just don't want to be still waiting a year from now.

Real Timeline-

TCM support will be released in March.

Your mileage may vary on the year, the models and year of vehicle it will function on, and what peripheral will have it...
