Trinity still not working for my Challenger...

My first Trinity was bad so it was replaced (screen never lit up when plugged into PC). Just got the new one and now it won't back-up my original tune.

I have a custome tune for my blower. I reloaded my stock tune with the Predator and un-married that tool from my car (confirmed twice).

I then went to marry my Trinity to the car, it already had my customer CMR tune and the latest software revisions loaded, and it's telling me it can not back up my original tune and gives me this message:

PCM: failed (0x00040600-0x00040e68)
expected: (0xa038)
calculated: (ox50a1)

All I wanted to do is log AFR for A.J. (hemituner) as I'm testing stuff for Arrington and he's always helping me improve my ride. HOW HARD IS THIS GOING TO BE GUYS???? I'm really beginning to regret this...

Let it save the backup before you load the custom tune, cant do that first ;)

Was this ever resolved? I am now in the same boat.

- I had 1r04 with a custom tune for my Magnacharger
- Set the car back to stock to update to 1r08
- After the update, I uploaded my magnacharger tune back to the Trinity. When it asked for my stock backup, I gave it the stock backup file I had on my PC
- When I try to upload the Magnacharger tune to the car, I get the PCM failed above when trying to do the backup. The exact error.

My Cal ID is 05187899AE

So I erased the custom tune from the Trinity in the hopes of grabbing a new 'stock backup' ... But I got the "This vehicle needs an update Download here: www.diablosport.com/dcx" message.

My question is: If up update my stock calibration, will my "old" CMR tune still work, or will I need to get a new one based on my new stock backup?

Getting a new tune would really suck since I'd have to contact Magnusson and get a new tune from them. I'd rather return to 1r04.

There is no "another tuner". Everybody uses DiabloSports CMR software. You use something else, you're stuck with a canned piece of shit tune. May as well buy a paperweight Jet Stage 2 if you want a POS "tune".

This is part of why I went back to a Predator. Less fancy shit to go wrong. Its a known reliable product, which for me is necessary, because my truck won't run on a canned tune. Plus I never used any "features" besides the tuner, so I didn't need it.

There are many flashers, tuners and software out there that do the same thing. Diablo is not the only one that offer parameter adjustments. Educate yourself first. And no I'm not talking about jets, bullydog, edge etc. I was just informing him if he keeps messin with it while it's saying that it he could fry his PCM. If you read the forum you will see people are having issues with that update.

In the Hemi world its Diablo CMR. Thats what everybody uses. The other suites either don't support it, or have limited capability. What are you gonna do, go to Hennessey or MHP for one of their overpriced, underperforming tunes?

Already tried MHP, its nowhere near the level a decent tuner can do with CMR, and Hennessey ain't doing something right, cause I'm roasting his vehicles with way less power.

Help me out instead ... I'm not animalous.

My question is: If up update my calibration, will my "old" CMR tune (based on my old cal) still work?

If not, how can I return my Trinity back to 1r04? I can't see a download option for that on your site.

Right now I cannot use my car.

THANKS!

I dont have animosity towards you at all, The help I got was the guy saying this is all we can do is a force restore if that doesnt work there was nothing he could do for me. So he didn't care he never told me about a tag or whatever it is you speaking of in another post.

jrupert: If you can't get your hands on your old revision, do the calibration update, grab a new Stock Backup and send it to your tuner to have your tune updated with the new cal.
