    Diablo Trinity to HP Tuner questions.

    I have a 2015 Scat Pack 392/A8 currently tuned wth the Diablo Trinity platform.
    I'm getting ready to do some additional mods and am wanting to move came ver to HP Tuners from Diablo.
    I currently have a custom tune in it but my tuner is no longer doing cars.
    I have several questions:
    1) My PCM was originally unlocked by Diablo. Will I need to do anything special to it to be able to use HP Tuners?
    2) Can I pull the Diablo custom tune off the PCM into HP Tumers to use as my baseline tune to start with?
    3) I know I need 6 credits to do PCM and TCM tuning.
    If I send my tune for someone to look at or modify, will they need credits as well?

    Thanks!

    Yes, anyone who wants to modify a tune file and then save it will need to pay for the credits to unlock it on the module they are using.
    The only ways to avoid having someone else pay for credits to modify your tune files are:
    1. Send them your module and let them use it to modify your tune.
    2. Allow them to remote into your computer and modify your tune.

    Ok, that answers my questions on the existing tune.
    What about the PCM unlock?
    I know HP Tuners wants an extra step during the unlock process that Diablo doesn't.
    Does it make any difference that I'm using a Diablo unlocked PCM?

    I have a Procharger on my car currently and am going to add some mods after the first of the year.
    Do you do remote tuning?

    That is going to be a "it depends" answer. Apparently at some point in time Diablo began unlocking PCM's differently or in a way that supposedly makes them incompatible with HPTuners. I have not verified this so take it with a block of salt. We have tuned dozens of cars with HPTuners using a Diablo unlocked PCM. We recently had two PCM's that were originally unlocked by Diablo that had to be sent to HPTuners to be reflashed. I am not sure why or if it is related to the change in the Diablo unlocking.
    Now we send PCM's straight to HPTuners for unlocking.

    So how do you find out if it's incompatible?
    Will it just not let you tune it or will there be glitches?
