Calibration update won't work!!!!

I recently got the slp7135 for my 06 dodge magnum and it didn't work. I spent 3 days on the phone with tech support and they said finally that they thought it was a bad tool. So i sent it back and got a new one. Well same thing..it is not working either. I just spent all day on the phone with tech and they said it was the usb cable. well i went a got a new one and it still won't work.
When i open DsDownloader it finds the tool and then i do the calibration update and it will go all they through to the end and then freezes it seems like. They tool will say to unplug but the computer itself is stuck on the calibration update screen and won't do anything. So then it pops up an error message a little later and says that it wasn't able to send file to tool, make sure firmware is up to date. And it is v.9r03 is what is on it. Then if i take the tool back out to the car and hit performace toon to finish calibration update it gives me the same screen saying this vehicle needs an update calib.:04896568AG.
I am really upset that i can't get this to work and what is even more frustrated is tech support is very confused about it as well. When you spend hours on the phone with someone and they still can't help you it is a total disappointment.
Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

Well I hope you can figure this out. I really would hate to have a $300 paper weight!! I do appreciate all of your help though.

Well i just got off the phone with SLP and they told me what is happening is the predator seems to be locking up and not accepting my vehicles calibration code. so he told me that some of the dodges are not compatible and he seems to think that my car might be one of them. Is this possible?

I'm pretty sure they were mistaken ;)

well...did you find anything out? I would like to know what to do. Send the POS back agian or take it somewhere and have them do it for me or what. If this one won't work will the regular diablo pred. 7135 work or are they they pretty much the same thing?

Dude I feel for you. Mopar stuff used to be able to be reset if you disconnect the battery on both posts and hold the positive and negative WIRES together, DON"T touch one of them to the other battery post as a shortcut, you'll blow it up. It should put your ecu back to factory settings, even erasing the program installed in it. You have to hold them together no less than 2 minutes. It has worked on my 2003 Hemi P/U on different occasions, maybe its worth a try on your car. It also resets the adaptive memory.

Would this fix the problem I have been encountering:

By the way, I just want to say that I have searched the forum for problems and whenever somebody has a similar problem, the last post is always you with "email sent" and then the person says "thank you, it worked!" It would really be helpful if you could post the solution up for when other people have similar problems in the future and it would save them and you a lot of time.

Thank you!

well, this one did not end with 'thank you, it worked'....

We have advised the customer to replace the SLP7135 with a U7135 to get around the issue.

Thanks
