The tuner instructions ask that you do it but it isn't needed so dont waste your time ... plug & play pimp!

I was told by Justin at VMP tuning that pulling the fuses was not nessesary. I've changed tunes half a dozen times without an issue. I just plug the tuner in and follow the prompts. I'm pretty much set on the 93 octane tune and won't be changing any time soon, not until I have her Dyno tuned...

dont worry about taking out the fuses, ive changed my tune several times w/o doing it.

i believe the reason the instructions say to pull the fuses is to help ensure that ur car's battery doesnt die while its programming, but as long as ur battery is normally charged and everything you should be fine.
