You have to select a power level and then once you are in that level you can use the advanced trans software.
This is the email I received back from Superchips Tech Support:
"Unfortunately, with the way the vehicles communicate, the only way to change the trans options are to add a power level as well.

I have the Prodigy turbo kit on my 2010 with the 3.8 and auto trans. I don't have any issues with the transmission shift points but I had the Flashpaq before this and didn't have issues either. I guess I never got that deep into the shift points. I'm pretty sure I can modify those shift points in my Diablosport that they sent me with the turbo kit. Again, I've never messed with it. The only thing I have adjusted is the tire diameters when I put my SRT8 GC wheels and tires on for summer and my stock Sahara wheels and tires for winter.
One thing to note: Prodigy requires at least a 2" lift so the downpipe clears between the engine and the front differential. Also, you can't get the 12psi upgrade with the automatic because there is no way to get the auto to hold the power. As it is, they have you solder a resister into the transmission harness to increase the line pressure. I've already zapped one of those and still have to replace it. The trans definitely slips without it. I've been driving around all year without flooring the gas pedal because I've been too busy/lazy to get under there and solder in a new one. If it gets into boost and you are up there in RPM, it shutters. Damn I need to get out there and do that!
Moral of the story, I really want that 12psi upgrade but I'm an upgraded trans (that doesn't exist as far as I know) away...or a manual transmission swap. Either of those solutions are going to cost serious dough. Here's a photo for proof.
