MY ECU SAYS FTV1 on it...But when I plug in the Predator the CAL ID says FBLEG03........WATS UP WITH THAT......If i order a tune wats the cal id number the one on the ecu or the one on.......... the tuner??

there was a similar post about this yesterday - someone had ordered a brenspeed tune only to find out that it caused his car not to start. the problem was most likely because at some point in time the dealer reflashed the ecu - thus, the numbers don't match up. i would call the tuner and see what they say, but i would guess that the ecu number is now incorrect; however, i'm definitely no expert!

I just got an X3 tuner ... The ID that the tuner read also did not match the sticker (more digits and different)... they must be two different identifiers. I loaded the tune that was made based on the sticker and it worked fine.

the number on the ECU is the calibration number, the number on your tuner is the strategy code, they will not be the same.
The first thing you need to do when you get your X-calibrator in is to goto " Read DTC menu" and then scroll down to " Read Strategy" and read this information from your car. Then write this down somewhere secure, like inside the X-calibrator box.

Then, if you have to take your car in for service first check your strategy by doing the above after returning it to stock. Take it in for service and when you get the car back BEFORE uploading a tune Read the strategy again and compare it to the one you had before taking it in for service.

If they match then simply install the tunes and drive away happy.

If they do not match then DO NOT install the tuner but rather contact your SCT dealer and give them the new Strategy code and get some new tunes for your new code.

Every dealer CAN email these to you, not every dealer WILL email these to you.

Here's something I wondered about.

You buy a tune and install it, all is good. Sometime later you take the car in for a service but you specifically tell the dealersahip NOT to flash the ECU with any 'updated version' they normally might have.....
So, does your refusal to accept an updated motor tune affect your warranty?
