Default DIABLO tuner question

Is the 05,06 Diablo preditor different than the 07?
The one I bought is from an 05GTand I have an 07 GT.
I don't see what the difference would be.
Thanks.

2007 model support is now available through the NEW CL7145 Predator tuner. A hardware change in the automatic models neccesitates that the CL7140 tool used on 2005-2006 models will not support 2007+ vehicles. When ordering for a 2007+ model Mustang, please be sure that you specify that you need the CL7145 version, as denoted with the different part numbers below.

Just a little off topic don't you think?

But I have an 07 and I accidently bought the one for the 05 and it didn't work so I had to fork over the extra 20 and get the one for the 07. I'm not sure what the difference is between the years but I know for sure that the earlier one doesn't work in our cars.

Yes there is a difference between the 05-06 to the 07 model. You will need to get the other model.....the CL means its for a C&L CAI....there is a U model which is universal and not CAI specific...but still is different from 05-06 to 07 models.

As for SCT vs Predator....they are in reality the same...the Predator actually has some funtionality that the SCT doesnt....so as for "SCT is light years ahead".....umm no.

I almost made this mistake when I bought mine. U7145 for 07's, U7140 for 05-06. I like my Diablo tuner, I think its more user-friendly. It would be nice if it used a USB interface, but I can deal with serial. I keep mine in my car with me at all times.
