No you do not need any type of adaptor to plug a Predator into the PCM port. It has a cable with the correct plug recepticle and will plug right in. The PC interface kit is nothing more than a standard DB9 serial cable and a 12vDC 100ma transformer with a center positive plug. You can get both at Radio Shack or any similiar place.

umm... there are 4 seperate tunes for the C+L, which one you get depends on your car. And if you DON'T get the pc link, HOW will you get the tune into the Pred?

Really, just go to www.diablosport.com like the manual says... it really is pretty easy...

First you need to know the CALID of your PCM before you can download the tune. You can get that by plugging the Predator in to the PCM port and reading it off of the Predator. Once you have the CALID, then download the C&L tune with the same CALID.

In fairness, he doesn't have it yet and I doubt he went on line to read the manual ahead of time. I wouldn't have...

Ahhh... [Johnny Carson Voice]I did not know that[/JCV]

I wouldn't have either... but then I didn't even think about it till it showed up on my doorstep... and I didn't even read the manual till the night before I installed the C+L...
