    Cannot access different OS options with v3.0??

    i am trying to write a 2 bar enhanced OS. The car is currently running a 1 bar enhanced os that i flashed with the old software 2.24. Now that i have updated the suite, i click the drop-down box and the box is blank not giving me any choices at all. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems??? i tried changing it on another computer that had 2.24 still loaded but my current tune has been flashed with v3.0 so im assuming theres no backwards compatibility. i have the available credits but none of the options are able to be clicked on.. any input?

    Thanks!

    You need to start with an un-enhanced file each time. You cannot switch between enhancements with the same file. 3.0 clears the enhancement choices to prevent any issues.

    i did not know that. i was able to use a previous file with a stock OS and copy my tables over. The only issue i ran into was with the VE, the map linear kpa on the old tune was 94.60 the new 2 bar was a 200.00 kpa, when i tried to start the car it was almost dead rich. Pulled a large amount of fuel out across the VE map and now its running correctly.

    Dumb question-since you have to restart with an 'un-enhanced' file, how do we get access to the enhancement to apply?

    The available choices show up in the OS window of the "stock file". Once a file is enhanced, the choices disappear.

    Thanks! I just recently moved to version 3.0, and have a vehicle with an enhancement applied already. I take it I would have to figure out how to get a "stock file" flashed into this vehicle to be able to "see" the options since I don't have the original factory file, right? It is an e40 PCM. Thanks!

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    VCM Enhancements are not available for every vehicle.

    I have no idea what vehicle you're working with, so it's hard to comment any further.

    I solved my problem, simple thing I overlooked and found in another thread. I wasn't in advanced mode. Easy fix

    Can you elaborate on this a little more? I've lost my non enhanced file and want to go from 1 bar Maf to 3 bar sd. What do I need to do?

    Post your current tune.

    There's no way to take a tune that has an upgraded OS and then revert it back to stock or to revert to a different upgraded OS (assuming 2 are available). You need the stock file for that

    Without seeing the tune it's hard to say much else

    So since i cant take my currently enhanced os to a different enhancement (1 bar maf to 3 bar sd), what are my options?

    Do i need to take the pcm to a dealer to be reflashed? or is there a way i can go from maf enhanced back to stock then to sd enhanced? Keep in mind I no longer have the original tune file. I lost that laptop years ago

    Thanks

    Yeah a dealer flash is probably the best bet for you. You can't downgrade from any of the upgraded OS's back to stock.. and you can only upgrade when you're starting from a 'stock' OS. So, unless you can find the stock original file a dealer flash is the only thing I can think of. Maybe someone else will have another idea

    Dealer cannot flash over the LS1 custom operating systems, they are os mod locked.

    Ok so if that's out and I have no access to the original file, what are my options?
