$600 TRINITY =>10+ HRS...BAD SUPPORT + A HUGE TIME WASTE
Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2016 2:06 pm
I bought a Trinity for my 2015 Z06. I spent 5 to 10 hours dealing with the Save Original blah blah, constantly going back and forth, trying to make the latest update work in my car....that alone is worthy of a negative review of this company. When you guys sell these things, how about a forewarning that the average customer of a 2015 Z06 is going to spend many many hours making the compatibility REALLY work.....not like your website claims compatibility....but is actually, TRULY, compatible....as in plug and play compatible....
Now, after the headache of repeated ds downloader installs, repeated GM can gas blah blah....I get into a weeklong email conversation that goes like this....
EMAIL 1: Dear DT, i need help installing the Trinity in my '15 Z06. I can save an original tune but get a "Calibration Not Supported error." Image attached.
RESPONSE: is it manual or automatic?
EMAIL 2: manual
RESPONSE: Did it ask to read a unsupported backup?
EMAIL 3: No. I sent an image in my orig email regarding the error + hurdle: CALIBRATION NOT SUPPORTED.
RESPONSE: Did it save an original?
EMAIL 4: Yes! I said that in my original email as well. It's been a week, man. Maybe we can accelerate this dialogue and be more constructive in finding a solution, or just discuss on the phone???
The saga continues like this. Now, if your team is bombarded with questions and tech support, maybe its time to re-evaluate the product that is eliciting this kind of response? Maybe its time to start delivering MORE and claiming a little bit LESS....when you are getting flooded with complaints and despair, it means people aren't getting what they expected.
I've had this thing for 30 days. I just FINALLY heard from guys in a forum that the Diablo Trinity does NOT WORK ON ALL 2015 CORVETTES. This explains why Garrett instructed me to "get an update from the dealer" because my computer version was an "old" 2015 version. Well, guess what? My dealer told me to pound sand because GM has not authorized any computer update for my vehicle.
I suppose Diablo expects me to foot the bill to get my car flashed so that their original claim of compatibility will still hold up? thanks Diablo! for selling me a non-functioning product and then not having the professional integrity to own your product's flaws....if you did own it, you would say something like this -->:"your computer isn't old....it's appropriate for your car....it's our software that DOES NOT work with all 2015 manufactured z06's.....we deceived you at purchase time just to get the sale but we want to make it right....so, yeah, the reason we need your car flashed is our fault....if you want to return the trinity, we will pay the return shipping and give you a full refund....if you want it to work, we need you to get the car flashed and updated...."
As you can tell, I am sour about this experience and pissed off at the crappy service....this is my last effort, a hail mary, that details why I am walking away. In the back of my mind, I hope Diablo has some secret file waiting for me that will make my car work....but i highly doubt I'll see that....or, for that matter, any accountability regarding the points made in this thread...
In conclusion, the Diablo Trinity was the biggest aftermarket time suck I've ever encountered. This device OWES ME money for the time it wasted.
