Sct Live Load Software In Safe
I’d like to clear up some confusion about SCT devices, how they operate, what to look for when purchasing a used device, and how to update them. I’m hoping this information will assist people when trying to troubleshoot their device and speed up the process when they have any issues. Admins, please feel free to move this to a different section of the forum if needed. SCT Device Updater This program is needed to do everything with the device. From updating, backing up stock files, to repairing the device.
Oct 29, 2008 This is the latest software to use but return your truck to stock before doing this http://www.sctflash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7666.
You can download this software for free at the link below: Updating the device If the serial number of the device begins with XP, LT, or IT, these are ENHANCED devices. This means that you should only update these devices by using the “Automatically Check for Updates” button. DO NOT use the “Transfer File To Device” or “Update Firmware” buttons! These are for non-enhanced devices that I will cover next.
If you do this without direct instruction from SCT, you run a very good chance of messing up your device. If the serial number of your device begins with TM, TD, LW, X3, or any single letter, these are NON-ENHANCED devices. These devices you need to manually update using the “Transfer File to Device” and “Update Firmware” buttons described earlier.
If you need step by step instructions please refer to the SCT website for them in the knowledgebase section. All of these devices have also been discontinued, but are still supported. Backing Up Your Stock File This is extremely easy to do and is very beneficial to SCT tech support if a repair is ever needed for your device. Blablaland Hack Download Free there. By simply backing up your stock file, you can save hours off a support call as well as possibly hundreds of dollars for a PCM reflash by your dealer.
You can simply back it up using the Device Update Software and click “Get Stock File from Device”. Strategy/Preloaded Tunes VS Custom Tunes There has been some confusion as to what the difference between these two are. Strategy/Preloaded tunes are the ones that come built into the devices from SCT.
These are made for specific vehicle models and are for stock or close to stock vehicles. Medal Of Honor Warfighter No Steam Tpb. Not all devices come with these tunes. If you are unsure, please contact SCT tech support or your dealer before purchasing your device. Custom Tunes are tunes that were made by your dealer for your exact PCM. These are not included in devices from SCT. Please ask your dealer if custom tunes are included or if you need to purchase them separately. Can I re-use custom tunes?
Technically, yes you can, BUT we STRONGLY do not recommend it. Even if you have the same year/make/model. You may have an identical car, but completely different PCMs inside of it. If you flash with someone else's custom tunes, you run a very high chance of disabling your vehicle completely. It's simply not worth the risk. And this usually happens 3 hours away from home, in a blizzard, on the weekend, with the kids in the backseat. What are the unlocks for?
The number of unlocks on a device is how many vehicles this tuner has been flashed with. All tuners come with 5 unlocks. So you can essentially change vehicles up to 5 times. Returning to stock does not use an unlock. You can return to stock and reflash the same vehicle an unlimited number of times. If you run out of unlocks, you can call SCT and setup an RMA to send the device in. For SCT to reset your unlocks back to 5 it is a flat rate charge of $65.
The number of unlocks remaining on a device does not indicate if it's locked or not. Please see below about locked tuners. Purchasing a Used Device Whenever you need to purchase a used device, always make sure the device is UNLOCKED or UNMARRIED. I have people calling in all the time that spend money on used devices that are locked and have to pay for an unlock. If you need to unlock your device, or a used device, it is $150.
The fee for this is standard with no special treatment. The ONLY time SCT will ever unlock a device for free, is if the vehicle it’s locked to was totaled out. We require proof of the total loss. An insurance claim or carfax report document is accepted. Pictures of the vehicle will not be accepted. The turnaround time is usually 1-2 weeks.
You can verify if a device is locked or not by going into Device Info on the tuner and viewing the number of unlocks and the married status. If the device says MARRIED, STRATEGY, or LOCKED, It’s locked. If it says UNMARRIED, or UNLOCKED, it is unlocked and safe for use on another vehicle.
