problem with predator!

Recieved the Predators today! One installed with no problems, the other would not install. When it asked to turn ignition on, it could not recognize that the ignition was on..Anyone else have this prob? BTW the other one that worked is out of control!

I got a 12V plug for the tuner, went into options and checked the last tunes done and found out that it had a different VIN that was installed on the 23rd...Think it was used, and if so isnt there a way to reset it. I thought I had read somewhere where someone else had a similar problem.

Call the folks at DiabloSport and tell them what's going on and they will give you the reset codes for your unit. Make sure when you call them that you have the unit connected to the truck and most importantly that you have all the accessories turned off and a charger on the batteries.

WOW! I would not think that Diablo Sport would un-lock the unit. It seems if they do, how can they stop people from "sharing" the programmer?

The reset code "floats" so that you can't use the same code twice.

yep, it's a time sensitve code... only good for the short period that they give it to you...
so you DO have to be sitting in the truck ready to go with a cordless, or cell phone... (or a very long corded phone )
