that new revision works differently than the one you were on before... to copy the current diablo tune (last tune written) outta your car/predator now, you have to use the dsdownloader and follow these directions:


FOR U7194 rev. 9R08 OR HIGHER - AND - U7191 rev. 9R03 OR HIGHER

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. Once the install is complete, 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 on its assigned COM port.

5. Once it finds your Predator, 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, 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 to 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. This file is a copy of the current diablo tune installed in your vehicle.

11. Once the file has been exported from the Predator, 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 to so that you can find it easily.

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

13. Email BOTH of those tune files to your tuner.

k.. so the last revision you used worked for you?

you were able to install the diablo tune to your car?? cuz I see you posted both the original backup tune, and also the last tune written...

correct?


so what is it you need at this point - just need to have the rear O2 codes disabled in the tune so you don't get the trouble light on your dash??

Yes it worked fine.
Now i need a custom tune to remove the O2 codes & if possible a little tweak for the mods listed :)

I'll hit this tonight and get the codes disabled for you...


if you want more of a custom tune with a bunch of other tweaks to get more giddy-up! - see here for info on what's involved, costs, files needed, etc etc.... there's also a link on there to a small sample of just some of the testimonials I've gotten from people I've done tunes for...

For the tweaking you need the data reading with stock tune or diablo tune ?

when doing the data logs and any tweaking, you need to do it with the diablo tune installed in the car...
