ok well i tryed this data log thing and idk wtf i did.. blah. my computer wont even recognize the tuner is plugged in. fuck it il just run the pre loaded tune. what a waste

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 06:19 PM

what kind of computer and what version..?

vista?

do you have your live load programs up to date?

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 06:32 PM

LOL idk wtf live load is. dangit. i went to the car.. put the tuner on and set up the data log settings and ran data log.. and now i dont know how to get it to the pc.. i didnt know u have to have a laptop and stuff . blahhh hell with it lol

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 06:34 PM

dude.. did you even read the datalog page on the web site?

you need to get live load.. it's free and you can fine it on sctflash.com
you need it for your xcal to be able to hook up to your computer.

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 06:35 PM

no i just read what he sayed in the email. he told me about the revs and all that and what settings to pick

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 06:38 PM

SCT Flash Devices - MORE Power . . . Period!

download live wire for your xcal and try again.

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 07:17 PM

lol downloaded it .. installed. it asked me to reboot, then it sayed installation failed. do you think these guys will refund the tuner? and ill just buy one from a local place that way when i have issues i can take it to them

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 07:19 PM

I just sent him a PM. he is online.. lets see what he can do to help you out.

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 07:22 PM

im not trying to be a b it c h about this whole thing but i was under the impression that i woudl get a pre programmed tune and a custom tune to match my mods. he sent it with no custom tune and says sct is being difficult with him and he cant do the custom tune i guess without me doing data log and i have no clue how to get this crap going. i wish i knew more .

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 07:25 PM

of course you can't get a custom tune without a data log.

that's what makes it custom man.

Joe can't do anything without it.

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 07:25 PM

he never told me that before. i thought thats why i filled out all that info about my cars mods and settings..

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 07:27 PM

that's how you get a tune in the first place.. any place will do that.

what makes his tunes custom to YOUR car instead of a mach1 is the data log.. and it was told to you.. read this thread

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 07:34 PM

eh gawd. maybe by next year ill figure out how to data log and be able to load it back to the pc.

i managed to run a data log and do like he said but i cant figure out how to load it up on the pc. and the download you sent me didnt work

we can't do anything until SCT gets off their butts. the same thing will happen with any other xcal you buy at this point short of a dyno tune.

Black02GT · March 2nd, 2008, 07:46 PM

oh well. the tunes good up until i do like a cam or headers or some crap though right? so my midpipe should be fine?

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 07:49 PM

the mid pipe should be fine unless it's an off road pipe.. then you would just have to get a quick reflash to turn off the cel.

but unless you do long tubes or something major the current tune is fine

its a dr gas o/r x
yeah i seen where i can shut off the o2 sensors. thats no issue, and just reload it. i think these will be my only mods for a little while. i need to pay off my work truck and get rid of that payment.

thanks for the help

HMUSN · March 2nd, 2008, 08:59 PM

I don't make any money off of this man.. just glad to help ya out.

Sorry for the delay. I updated my SCT advantage software and it had an issue and froze up (no access to the software). I was on the phone with sct for 30+ min earlier and am downloading the update now. I did not forget about you, just realize that sct can be slow. If you are still having issues with errors and datalogging you can call up sct at 407-774-2447 and they can resolve your issues. If all goes as planned I should have the base tune for the custom tuning to you later tonight. Also if you get the datalogging figured out I can check the canned tune to see how close it matches your car (like i said in the email). You need to get the datalogging figured out for the custom tuning. I know it can be complicated sometimes, but sit down, be patient, and read all the help files until you get it figured out. Shoot me an email if you have questions (but call sct if you get error messages, because i cannot trouble shoot those).
Not sure if i gave you this link, but this will describe how to datalog using the on device options. Its much easier with a laptop, but this works too. Its for an Xcal2 but the process is relatively the same.
