I bought an 02 Z06 that already had RTT installed. I have to use 4 credits to tune it. Okay no biggie but now I want to go SD and no enhancements available when I go to the OS tab. Just says not applied but you can't select any of them. Do I need the original tune? I have no way to get that if I do so how to I go forward?
Thanks

Open the stock file to view additional vcm enhancements. If you can't get the stock file your pretty much sol unless you use someone elses file.
If I have use someone elses stock file then it will cost me 4 more credits won't it?Quote:

I'm in the same boat. If i use a stock tune from respority i would need to licence it 2 credits and then when i upgrade to 3 bar map another 2 credits then it can be installed in my vehicle and i can use unlimited times?????Quote:

Sounds like whoever previously tuned your car applied it. Have the previous tuner send you the stock file and you can write that to your pcm if you want the stock file in the pcm.
I tuned it. It seems that all my files I liscense go to a 1BAR SD enhanced OS which is mod locking it. I need 1BAR MAF enhanced and no modlock. If I get someone else's stock file will it cost 4 credits as stated above or can I liscence it and change to my VIN and only use 2 or is there a way to not use any credits.Quote:

There is no such thing, we lock our custom operating systems so as to make it harder for companies to try and reverse engineer our work.
I know this dates back a bit, but I think it may help me, although, so I understand. I have to apply this to my stock tune, or can I apply it to a tune I currently have that I'm trying to work out a bug?Quote:

Did it just take these adjustments out of the equation for us or did it make any changes to these settings automatically then not allow us to modify further?
In other words even though we can no longer see these, do they match what was there in the beginning "unchanged" just not giving us an option to adjust, or are they different than the original stock tune?
I always recommend applying the custom operating system to your stock operating system whenever possible
So, I want to be sure I understand, since I have already started tuning and just learned of this (my own fault)Quote:

I also still have my 1st downloaded "stock tune" file which I ALSO applied Enhanced OS to and renamed. (per instructions)
However, I have not written either of these tunes to the vehicle yet.
So, my question is should I flash my "original stock w/enhanced OS" back to my vehicle, then retune to what I have now?
OR, Can I write the current tweaked tune with the OS enhancement?
I wish to do it in the proper order to be as safe as possible.
Thanks Bill!
From the sounds of it you should be able to write your current tweaked tune with the os enhancement.
Ok, so my dumb arse didn't pay full attention to the OS enhancement and I ended up in the 2 bar, and I'm NA so that? Well...... didn't work so well, then it dawned on me and once I kicked myself and changed back? All good, but I am still trimming the fine line between real rich or real lean (not the 3 to 5% I was told was fairly safe) and can't get there (this is for another post to be added), BUT as I was looking at the Enhanced OS I see the VATS patches, which I don't need, at least not on my TB3SS application, but when I put my put my L32 bottom swapped L67 in my S-10 or a Fiero (if I can find a decent one( will will then.
SO........ On the the OTHER question, what are the 2 TCS patches for? I read, rather "what Bill said", "googled it", but I guess I'm still tuner in training as I'm learning MAF vs SD and all this and am SO FRIGGIN confused, but anyway, so all it does is let TCS work when in Speed Density mode?
