exporting tune to pc

Post by cale »

I am trying to transfer my diablo tune to my pc, but it keeps on telling me "transfer failed". I have a u7194 with the 9r06a update. i matched my baud rate and com ports. The predator pauses at 2% instead of 5%. Does anybody know what is wrong? HELP

So, if you're trying to export the diablo tune, did you read the extra tune first?

Have you tried exporting the original backup to see if that works properly?

yours is a ford tool, and on a newer ford revision... you need to use the dsdownloader app...

make sure you have the latest dsdownloader installed...

Saving the original backup tune and current tune (Last Tune Written) to your PC:

1. Make sure you have installed the latest version of the DSDownloader app on your PC.

2. Connect your Predator/Trinity to your PC and power it up, and then run the DSDownloader program.

3. Once you open DSDownloader, click "Options" and make sure there is a check mark next to "Auto Connect".

4. Once Auto Connect is enabled, the DSDL will search for and find your Predator/Trinity on its assigned COM port.

5. Once it finds your Predator/Trinity, you will be taken to the Express Tune page. From here, click "Get tune file from Tool".

6. The DSDownloader will ask you if you want the "Original Backup" or the "Last Tune Written". Click "YES" in order to export a copy of the "Original Backup" tune file from the Predator.

7. Once the file has been exported from the Predator/Trinity, the DSDownloader may ask you if you would like to save it in the ".ori" file directory. Choose "NO" and select your own folder location, or your desktop, to save the file somewhere so that you can find it easily.

8. Your "Original Backup" tune file is now saved to your PC.

9. Now, Repeat the steps above in order to export a copy of the "Last Tune Written" - because the tuner creating your custom tune for you will need BOTH files. So, from back at the Express Tune page in the DSDownloader, click "Get tune file from Tool".

10. The DSDownloader will ask you if you want the "Original Backup" or the "Last Tune Written". This time, Click "NO" in order to export a copy of the "Last Tune Written" tune file from the Predator/Trinity. This file is a copy of the current diablo tune installed in your vehicle.

11. Once the file has been exported from the Predator/Trinity, the DSDownloader may ask you if you would like to save it in the ".ori" file directory. Choose "NO" and select your own folder location, or your desktop, to save the file somewhere so that you can find it easily.

12. Now your "Last Tune Written" tune file is also saved to your PC.
