Need help ASAP with Road Runner Well today I installed Road Runner in my 2002 TA M6. I did everything that I was supposed to, like copying my stock tune to the Road Runner. When I loaded it up I notice that the vin number was not mine and the info looked like for a 2001 camero automatic. WTF Does RR come with a tune on it I have no idea how that info could get in my RR PCM. Everything went fine until I started the car.
First the car idles at about 450-500 RPM then it would not let me go into reverse easily (M6). I take it for a short drive and I could tell the MPH is way off. I went to use the scan and it is saying that I have a automatic with 3.23 gears.
I downloaded the tune from the holden for the 2002 TA Manual. I flashed it into the PCM and nothing changed except I can go in reverse a lot better. Can anyone shed some light on my problem? How do I get the car to know that is a M6 and not an automatic. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to read the OS/Cal file from the RR that you uploaded? What OS/Cal does your car have? Don't sweat it, it sounds as though something simple has been overlooked.

UPDATE
I put the stock pcm back in the car and read it with the flash scan. When I look in the misc calabrations my transmission read m6 and all everything else looks correct. So I read the pcm and save the stock tune file. Then I put the RR pcm in and do the same thing. First I look at in the misc calabrations and it reads 4l60e as if I have a automatic. So then I go to the RR toolbar and reflash the Operating sys and Calabration (The one with the fat red arrow pointing to the PCM chip) It said everything was flashed sucessfully. So I go back into the flash scan and it still read 4l60e just like before. What am I doing wrong? I just cant figure this out. Any help would be welcomed.

Just do a full flash of your tune you wanted to start with, THEN you put YOUR vin into the roadrunner.
They come shipped with a test calibration in them to make sure they work before he sends them out. They are not blank for a reason.
As for the vin, efilive can put in the vin no problem, you just have to tell it to.

How would I be able to tell? If it helps purchsed RR around March or so. Here is what I have been doing step by step is
1. I hook up the laptop to the car. (RR USB and Flash V1 USB)
2. Then I switch the car to acc so I could connect to the V1
3. I open up the EFI LIVE tune and I also disconnet V1(red button)
4. I open up the tune files and select my stock tune
5. I then connect to the rr section select the fat red arrow for cal/operating sys.
6. Then I get the flash successful banner.
I hope I did not miss anything. Thank yall for the support.
I will try it again then let you know how it goes thanks again.

Could someone tell me why when i do a full reflash which is the one with the (fat red arrow). Then select read pcm (green arrow) it goes back to the test calabration tune that came with. Am I supposed to do something else like shut the car off then turn it back on. Just not sure why it is not taking the tune. And yes I get the flash succesfull baner.

when you reflash your only updating it you need to do a full reflash
pull up the roadrunner control panel you will see a red arrow that will say
something like program pcm with operating system and calabrations
also did you email kraig moates his costomer service is top notch!!!!
