cannot read vehicle type error v6 '05

[ceskino]

Hi everybody!

here's my problem..i've got a 2005 v6 mustang,automatic shift,already tuned 1 year ago with the predator; yesterday i decided to change some parameters on the tune i already have installed,like removing the idle limiter and stuff like that..but,when i tried to enter on the "performance tune" menu of the predator,it gives me everytime the "cannot read vehicle type" error. So i disconnected first the negative cable from the battery...tried another time..same error; so i tried disconnecting the negative and positive cables,link them(obviously not when they were linked to the battery),leave them linked for 10 minutes,and then reconnect both to the battery..tried again..same error.

What i have to do to get my predator working?

oh,more info..i can enter in every other menu of the predator,see the errors,clear them..see the live parameter..everything..except use the performance tune option. i linked the predator to the computer,windows 7,downloaded drivers and program..everything ok..i've got my backup of the original tune in the predator,and also i downloaded it from the predator;it still told me that the predator is linked with the vin of my car..it seems everything is all right!
Please,give me some hints..

key on, options/troubleshooting/show VIN and show CALID, do they work?

[ceskino]

Show calib id tells "calid 'B'"
Show vin tells "vin hex"

[mikel]

what does it say for options.show last tune written on both screens?

[ceskino]

On the "show Last tune written" it tells airaid kit
Calid: FBBS2B2
vin: the vin of my car

ok, give us a call with the tool powered up in the car and we'll see what we can do.

if it wont talk, the best advice is to get it to a dealer and let them flash it. We can try forcing the stock tune back in the car but that is NOT something we prefer to do on a running vehicle.

Thanks

ok..right..but,all happened after i lend my predator to a pair of friends of mine,and they used it to check the errors on them mustangs...it's possible that they tried to write a tune or something like that,while the predator were still locked to my car,and the predator entered in a something-called as "protection mode"?and it is for that reason i couldn't used it on my car,if it tells that is still locked to it?

However,now i'm located in italy,and used to call the tech support,but it takes me a lot of time with no response,and a lot of money for the call...so,I tryed also to restore the original backup,forcing the process..but it tells me that i need a password..is there a way to send the code from the predator,so you can give me the password to do it?

thanks a lot anyway!
