piece a cake...
========================================
get in your car...
make sure everything is turned off - heater/blower, radio, etc etc... doors closed... parking brake on...
plug the predator into your OBD port under your dash... let it boot up to the main menu...
turn your ignition/key to the ON position, but do NOT start the car...
on the predator, select Tune It...
it may prompt you for the tranny type you have... use the arrow keys to highlight it, and press the center "enter" button to select it.
It will then prompt you telling you that it is going to backup your original stock tune. click ok or continue, whatever it says...
it will create the backup, and tell you that it was successfully created. click ok, then you'll get to the Performance Tune menu...
choose Install Tune... and it will start installing the tune. follow the prompts on the screen. when the tune is in - it may prompt you to turn the key/ignition OFF for 10 seconds, and then turn it back ON (but don't start it)...
then it will tell you the tune is now installed in your vehicle and that you can unplug the predator.... done.
that's pretty much it.
do not turn on anything in the car while it's writing the tune - you will cause a voltage drop and it could hose the tune/PCM - effectively turning your car into a paperweight.
