MegaAnnoying

Post by pbl3 » Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:32 pm

Alright. I have an MS2 with the 3.0 board in it. I bought it off the for sale section of this forum.

The MS was on a turbo car before mine. Sad thing is, I don't have a turbo car. Every time I get power to the MS to retune it, Tunerstudio doesn't want to be compatible with the firmware.

So, I try to update and reflash the MS. This would be all fine and dandy, but my car has to be on so the MS gets power, and that means running my car with a turbo tune. Not good.

Any suggestions? I got so close to reflashing the MS but my car died, and I don't want to run that turbo tune and blow up my engine (though that is a good excuse for an SRT swap). Please help!

your ignition needs to be on your engine doesn't need to be running. you shouldn't update the firmware with your engine running anyway

Hook up a battery tender so your battery doesnt die while you have the key on.
