Will do man I get back saturday so i will let u know how it goes. And i believe you were the one that interested in the grill that i won from that AM contest. I emailed the promotions guy and asked to have the chin spoiler painted and i would pay for it but he said they would paint it and not send the grill so i agreed to those terms.

I just loaded my brenspeed tune a couple days days ago. Follow the instructions they send you and you'll be fine. Do make sure you update your SCT's firmare via sctflash.com. Also make sure you have LiveLink 6 and the latest LiveLoad.
LiveLoad will help you manage all your tunes. You can open it up now and look through it to get acquainted with it if you want. You won't lock your tuner or lose tunes or anything, just make sure you save your e-mailed tunes to your desktop

When you plug your SCT into your pc and launch LiveLoad, the software will have a list of the three tunes you have loaded. You can go through and remove tunes one at a time and upload tunes individually as well. Actually, you have to upload one at a time.

I did the first set of instructions and downloaded the
Device Updater Software.
Do I also need to download the Device Firmware?
The Brenspeed instructions did not say this but it says if your SCT has a serial number starting with XP you are supposed to. And mine does.
They are two different downloads.
I just dont wanna download it and it wipe out my SCT files I have now that I need.
Wait... now it says
Devices Affected:
All X3 with Serial Numbers starting lower than XP010809
Why did they say all devices starting with XP then they say devices lower than that number?
Mine starts with XP but the next numbers are 03 so it is actually a higher number. Do I need to download the Device Firmware then or just the Device Updater Software?
Also I download the Liveload program? Where is that?
