SCT X3 tuner software update question

Has anyone done the firmware update the their X3 or SF3?? I have custom tunes on mine from Mike at 5 star and I just want to make sure it won't delete any of my custom tune files from him when I do the update. I was going to call him tomorrow but I might try it tonight if anyone knows

Its late but an email may be best for quicker response. I know I answer the email before the phone call, but then again I aint as good as Mike.

I keep a copy of my files in back-up on my PC. That way should anything happen to them or the programmer I still have them.

And from what I understand Mike keeps pretty good records of programs he has created I've always heard of him send people copies.

But I would defiantly talk to Mike before possibly messing up my investment.

Always restore your vehicle back to stock before updating the firmware on the tuner, just as a precaution. And I would recommend you save your customs tunes on a back up drive like a flash drive or your computer.
