it's not in the menu, you have to get with RTWD and get a new file
like:You will need to acquire a couple of items so we can have a new file made for you:

1)Serial Cable:
Standard DB9 (9-pin to 9-pin) RS232 serial cable (6 foot cable is more than enough). Check your computer to see if you have a male or a female port on the back, as some are different. You will need a male end to go into your Predator, and you may need a female end to go into your computer.

2) Power Adapter:
CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER
OUTPUT : 12VDC 1000mA (1 Amp)
Center is positive and outside is negative
(WalMart has this power adapter I do believe, and if not Radio Shack, or any electronics store should)

Upon you getting this, download this file here:

http://www.runninwiththedevil.com/f...terface_101.exe (2.1 megs approx.)

Install this file to the default directory of its choice.

1. Hook up your Predator and install its tune into your vehicle, by going to "Tune It, Install Performance Tune", even if you already have it installed now. It will just overwrite your old program with the same program and all the changed options that you currently have adjusted, so nothing will change in terms of your experience in driving the vehicle, but this will ensure me that correct tune is sent back to me once you complete the rest of the steps.

2. After doing such, go to "Tune It, TroubleShooting, Save Current Data". It will start backing up the data onto the Predator, and will state such while it is doing it, so please verify this operation on the screen. This step normally takes between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. This is a VERY important step, and MUST be done.

3. Start the Predator PC Interface program on your PC (it puts an icon on your desktop for you when you initially install it).

4. Then hook up your Predator to your PC via the serial cable, and plug in the power adapter into the top of the Predator. Now, on the Predator select "Options", and stay on the first listed choice (pc communication).

5. Click on "Upload From Predator to PC, Vehicle Current File", then change this name from "upload.crg" to your VIN # .crg (please verify you typed in your VIN # correctly, please). Once you are ready then hit "OK", and once you do this hit enter on your Predator (try to do this w/in 5 seconds so it will not time out). It will start transferring the data to your PC. Once it is done (usually about 2 to 4 minutes), email this file to me.

If for some reason you get a time out error, this means your COM port is not COM 1. On the Predator PC Interface program on your PC, go up to "Options", Port Settings", and choose "COM 2". Then try the above process again.

If any of the above steps causing it to freeze up, just unplug the Predator, end the program on your PC, and start again.

We will build your new tune from this file, and then I will email it back to you and you will download it into the Predator the same way. I'll need your VIN# and your Serial # of your Predator (found in Options under "Display Serial No.", it's a 6 digit numerical #), as well, when you send this file to me.

P.s. Do me a favor, and include in the email exactly what is happening, or what you'd like to see done, as well as your current modifications and other pertinent information, please. Also, please include year, make, model, and any modifications that you have currently.

This will get you took care of you,
