    Default Invalid serial number

    I keep getting a invalid serial number error when trying tune with V8. I have tried everything, pulled fuses and what not. I can tune with V7 but the tunes I bought are saved to V8 help please.

    A few more details would be helpful.

    What year LB7? Had it previously been tuned?
    Are you using FlashScan V2 hardware or AutoCal? If AutoCal have you contacted your tuner?

    Do your software and firmware versions match those of your tuner?

    Are you using standalone flashing or pass through (ie computer connection too)?

    There has been a bug reported with LB7/LLY scripting which is preventing flashing in V8 for pass through flashing. We should have test files ready for our testers this week, and a public update will follow.

    There are 2 work arounds at this point. Try standalone flashing or discuss with your tuner providing your tunes in V7 format.

    Cheers

    the truck is a 2001 lb7, i am using a V2.
    all my software and firmware is up to date.
    the computer is connected. I have tried everything it feels like. the tuner will not send me V7 file.

    Your best bet is to try standalone flashing.

    You have exhausted available options if your tuner will not provide tunes in V7 format and will need to wait for our next software update.

    How long do you think until the update will be out.

    We should have test files ready for our testers this week, and a public update will follow. Time frames will depend upon the feedback from our beta testers. 2 weeks would be a pretty good estimate.
