diablosport predator hey guys, i have some questions. im wanting to buy a used unlocked predator for my just bolt on camaro. im on a budget so tuning software(hp tuners, ls1edit, etc.) are not in my range or in the near future. ive read that some programers have messed up the ecu (the cars computer thing, you all know what im talking about 
). how does that happen? i also have a shift kit on a <7,000 mile auto trans. i know the predator has a "pre installed program" where you dont have to mess with all the complicated a/f ratio and stuff. a real concern is the car not starting cause of the ecu and the tranny messing up. what do you guys think?

Keep voltage draw to a minimum, and be sure the battery is in good shape before you flash the car.
Thanks

find out what revision the predator is on... have the guy look at the top of the screen at the main menu, there will be a revision number.. a 1.xx or 2.xx number...
if it's a 1.xx revision, it will NOT be unlocked, even if he DID restore the original backup to his car.
then you will be stuck with a code reader, cuz as mike said, buying it used, you have no support and can not get it unlocked.
