    For the record I think that was the issue, I used my other email when I purchased the flash kit. So now I have two accounts with them. All is well though I got on my other email and the og flash kit purchase was right there. Thank you though!

    You're welcome.

    It is always fun managing that stuff these days.

    I'm just damn thankful that I stopped (a looong time ago) using my freaking work email for personal stuff.

    Wow that was incredibly fast! I just received my master key haha thank you mat! So now the question is should I ask for the b13 tune pack or wait for b14? How many of you decided not to wait?

    Not to be overly annoying... when a request to send out the .REG file is sent to your outside person, what kind of turn around can I expect? I was just wondering if it's hours, days, or weeks. Thanks!!

    Use the settings I posted. Check your voltage, if you need more, raise the values further.

    just do not raise them past the max values (which you can view, which shows 14.7v max)

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I'm confused because there are items for phase duty 1-10, with 10 being "14.7 Max 2"
    There is another setting called "Alternator Constant - Phase Duty Maximum 14.7v"

    What are the max values?

    upload_2020-6-3_14-50-42.jpg

    and to be clear - i'm not looking for hand holding - i'm looking to understanding each knob i turn to change something. I appreciate the help

    I have not flashed yet. I am going to do it tonight though. Since you and @b3itz jumped over the edge, I might as well also. :D

    Hmmm I wonder if there’s even that much change between 13 and 14. I’ve only went into limp mode a couple times and oddly enough it was due to a brake light bulb... the upper element broke off one side and it was swinging down and touching the lower element. Every time it closed the circuit between the upper and lower element it would go limp and give me a cel and error message saying brake malfunction. Tech stream described it as brake signals a and b cross coupled. I switched to led bulbs and haven’t had that issue since.

    Wow. That is an odd way to trigger a limp mode.

    @OVTune said there are no changes in the tables. I'm an update junkie though.

    @Watkinseli91 said that 04B14 feels better than his previous tune.

    It can't hurt to try.
