How many times did it write to the device? I didn't know about the tunes until I asked if there was any other tunes that I don't know about. Then he told me about the updated versions I just downloaded.

Also there is a tow soft shift tune as well you would have to ask for.
Could you test the soft tow. Also there tunes adjust for fuel quality correct? is it 87-93 or 87-91 and 91-93?

I don't currently have the Livernois tune installed on my truck but I do keep the tuner updated.

I installed the update (went from v2.91 to v2.93) and now the app won't connect to my tuner any more. Just constantly says "Connected. Getting Device Information"

It connected fine before the update.

Guess I'll have to uninstall/reinstall the app.

I know I don't have the typical experience but mine has been nothing but a headache from day one, which is why I don't have the tune installed.

My truck got bricked too many times.

Uninstalling/Reinstalling the app seems to have resolved it.

Looking through the error logs it was having a COM port error.

So I plugged mine into the computer and it went through a bunch of updates, made me unplug it and plug it back in and now it looks to be newly updated. Does that mean it has newer tunes that I should upload to my truck? Do I need to go stock before updating the new tunes? It would be nice if @Livernois Motorsports would provide some insight on the thread. They have great customer support so I expect they will.

Funny thing here.. had the exact same problem after reading about this update and hooking up my tuner to my laptop. NOTHING. Wouldn't connect at all. Tried everything. Uninstall, reinstall. Install on another laptop. Same thing. Contacted Livernois and couldn't solve the problem for hours.

Stupid me....tried another cable and everything worked perfectly. Apparently only using a charging cable, not a comm cable. So there's that!!!

Put in my request for the update and I'll update when I get it flashed.

Was pretty excited to hear about the shifting changes as that's the only thing that bothered me about the tunes is that it certainly changed the shift characteristics.

Need to request an update through the app or website to get the update I was told today.
