Hydra help please

I've just got the deceleration tune from DP Tuner, I've saved the file & tried to add it to my Hydra but get this box appear, Serial number & strategy are correct.

I've emailed Jody but waiting for a reply & I'm waiting to try it out!

Is it a tune for his chip and not the hydra?

No he does tunes for the Hydra too now, the thing I missed when I decided on a Hydra for this truck was the deceleration tune that uses the EBPV as a brake, then someone said that Jody is doing tunes for the Hydra so I thought that I'd try.
It's all good though now, he got back to me real fast & resent the tune, he said he had no idea why I got that pop up, but it's loaded now & I've been for a drive & it's nice feeling the truck slowing on the motor without any use of the brakes.

Not if they're encrypted.....which I know for a fact that DP-Tuner would do. Hydrabuilder (the program PHP made to compile e-mail-able Hydra calibrations) natively does it and the files will end in ".hcf" and will be listed in a 257K size.

Yes it did end in "hcf" I guess it was just one of "those things" Jody just re compiled it and everything works as it should. It's just a shame that there's not a way of incorporating the deceleration tune into a tow tune, so when you lift off the skinny pedal the EBPV would automatically apply with either a tap of the brake or just with no throttle input......

There is...but I don't give it out because of piracy.
