    Will do. For now I am just hoping to get 04b14 installed and the latest 2.0 dump tube file installed that kills the CEL that I was getting on the original 04b13 2.0 file. I am still on the old 04b13 FOB fatboy test file since it didn't give me any CEL with the catless tubes. Waiting on my credits for unlocking 04b14 and then I am set.

    @su.brat hooked me up with a modified 2.0 file he is running. I think it should do well since both of us have made comparable modifications to our exhaust. The only concern is that his file is edited for an AGM battery and I still have the stock battery. It's 3 years old and may be good enough reason to replace it though...

    I wouldn't run the AGM edits on your current battery. They are easy to back out though. Just open both the edited and stock file. Check each map in the Alternator Constant section and type it the stock values.

    Save that original file if you do happen to get an AGM replacement though.

    My original is hanging in there.

    If you had to check the boxes to enable .Net framework then reinstall the Tactrix drivers and see if that does it for you. You may need a reboot as well (couldn't hurt).

    One more question, I am waiting on my credits for another ECU,does VFTune automatically check for them when I hit help-license info? or just when I open VFTune?

    You have to have both purchased from the website and requested 4 (or however many you purchased) within vF. Once Mat approves them, they'll populate and give you a notification when opening vF

    I should be good then, I purchased on OVTune and then hit request more on VF. That was two days ago,it's like Christmas eve as a child..lol I am going to wear out my laptop opening VFTune every 5 minutes...

    ETA I may not be good as the OVTune purchase was 4 credits and the default in VFTune is 5....

    4 credits per ecu.

    vF comes with 5. 4 to unlock an ecu. 1 for the software.

    I knew it came with 5 and still show 1 credit remaining. I requested 5 more credits through VF since that was the default that popped up,the extra credits you purchase come in 4,12,20 and I only purchased 4.o_O

    No. The System ID will only change by going to a different computer, possibly when wiping the drive and reinstalling Windows, and / or rarely possible when doing Windows Updates.

    All other software actions will be fine.

    Have you checked to see if AV is jacking with it? Turn it off completely and try.

    yea did that a long time ago. I’m leaning towards this usb c to usb2/3 “whatever ovtune sent me.” Being the issue I’ve ordered a usb c hub that’s got a 2.0 and 3.0 usb https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M8O5FYG/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_IacUFbN2BTQV0

    Still have hope @tonered can walk me through it or spot something I’m not doing right when he gets off!
