Just came in on Wednesday and just today got around to opening the box to look at it. Even browsed through the users manual, such as it is. Not much in there in any technical sense at all. Kind of like a "Predator For Dummies" kind of thing, except they left out any explanations.
But one thing did concern me and that is that they state there that this unit is NOT to be used over top of a custom tune. Now the problem is, I bought my Z used about 7 months ago and don't have a clue whether there is a custom tune in there or now. How could I tell?
Back in an earlier episode of of Rich Z's "as the wheels turn", I mentioned an idiosyncrasy where I thought I had a column lock bypass in the thing, and suddenly after I get the headers installed, it acts like if it were there (I got the service column lock message and the steering wheel NEVER locked) then, it is not there any longer, as the steering wheel NOW locks. Someone suggested my PCM had been reflashed, which I don't think happened, and as far as I know, you can't bypass the column lock with any tuner program I am aware of (which isn't saying much, actually).
Anyway, dire warnings were associated with using the Predator if a tune is already present, so now I'm not sure what to do. I just think that in my next life, I am going to live a simpler life. Move to some tropical island somewhere where my biggest problem will be trying to figure out how to make the coconut palm trees grow horizontally, about head height, so I can get to the coconuts easier.....
