Upgrades like TPMS and Advanced Trans Tuning requires a vinlocked tuner be present but updates to engine and trans calibrations do not.

Ok, couple other questions. Is the ability to lock the axles in 4hi just built into the programming or do you have to enable it elsewhere? I saw the "Axle Lock" portion on the programmer, but that seemed like it was going to lock them for you. Didn't know about that.

Also, I see a TPMS Feature Enable and TPMS Feature Disable in the upgrades section. Which of those do I want to get rid of TPMS?

Scott, how about giving us the ability to run front and rear lockers in 4-Hi? That would be a great benefit to a lot of us running in sand. Without the FlashPac connected too.

Thanks,

Flash

I just posted this on another thread but wanted to fan out for responses. I also would like to know if there are and specific settings I need to set for my AirAid CAI and where to find them and Where is the option to disable the TPMS for the tire pressure. I'm pretty sure I installed it from the store when I updated my SC firmware. Thanks

So I just installed the SC onto my 2 door 2010 6 speed JK with the 87 Octane tune. When I get on the gas hard I am hearing a noticeable pinging sound. Does it take a couple gas tanks of fuel to have the jeep recognize the new setting or will the pinging not go away. I updated the SC with the most up to date firmware. What has everyone else with a a manual transmission experienced? Should I try a different tune or what. Today is Saturday so I'll probably call Tech Support on Monday because regardless of the tune I'm using it shouldn't ping. SUGGESTIONS???

I would run it for awhile and see if it stops after the JK gets used to it. It may take awhile. Just try not to get on it during this time. I have never had any knocking but then again I do have the auto tranny. Understand that there are thousands of these things being used and only a handfull of people having problems. If your knocking doesn't go away I'm sure SC will take care of it for you and you will love it. To me it's the best thing goin' for my jeep. And I know there are many that feel the same way...

Default Auto Trans temp

Is the Flashpaq able to display real time auto trans temperature?

Could someone who had the 6 speed ping problem PM with what exactly the fix was? I really want to do this mod but I have a 6 speed and am afraid of pinging.
