    Like @mZiggy said. 04B42 Stock is supported, but no tune files yet.

    it won't let me select any of the older files. the 04B42 file is the only file it will allow me to select from when in VFTuner. I noticed the file types are different...

    I have not noticed that. Pro or locked tune file indicator?

    Yes. Bottom of the flash window file selection dialog, change VFC to VFT.

    Might be. Either or, or both. I was flashing Mat's updated turbo tune files to my truck, which are created in Pro and locked. Lol

    That is what I was thinking.

    I don't recall seeing a V with the VFC files. Time to ask, I suppose, as it seems to block the TSB updates.

    It's gotta be a maggy thing. Both my old maggy tune and my new maggy tune start with V, but nothing else does.

    Well not specifically a Maggy thing but like Tony mentioned, probably a combination of files being locked and maybe made in Pro too.

    My turbo tunes from Mat have that V

    If you don't mind, I used your screenshot in a new thread on the other forum.

    Don't mind at all. Glad to provide help where I can. Even if it was by accident, lol.

    Thanks!

    Happenstance is always a fun way to learn. Usually painfully for me.

    This process worked btw. Flashed the file in the program files provided with the VF software, then pushed the TSB 04B42 via the .CUW file listed in the OP. Then pushed the new maggy tune file. Just finishing up the clean-up and reset functions and I'll be done.

    Thanks for the update. I was hoping that the Flash Dance would go well.

    Just an update here. It was said that the leading V is simply due to the use of an EROM Patch in the tune file. So, it does not indicate a locked file.

    Very interesting.

    @PapaRee - is this still true? Or are we good to update now and get a new tune file from you?
