Their main concerns so far are:

Not being able to run the calibration update

Not sure whether the PCM will be able to go back to a stock tune once another has been updated. What this means is that the (stock) program on our PCM's may differ to that on the US based PCM's. And being that we upload the new updates top our PCM's from the states, if ever we need to go back to stock it is returning it back to a US based stock tune. This may throw codes or even render the vehicle undrivable.

They have promised to look at it and hope to have something sourced soon....ealy neext week did come up.

I am sure if we keep the pressure on they will come good, otherwise worst case scenario, they will need to refund the $$$ which should also include the shipping.

I'm sure you're right, afterall it's just a software issue.

I hate to say it, but I did ever so slightly enjoy the fact that the overseas cars could not get there Predators to work....Sorry about that, and the feeling only lasted for about 5 seconds, then i did feel sorry for everyone.

The reason I enjoyed their pain at first you ask? Well, I was one of the original group buyers (HHP) who got in on day 2 of the offer back in July. I also paid at that time. When the Predators finally started getting shipped out, the Canadians were shuffled to the back of the line, and then they used snail mail to send ours out. No one in Canada on that group buy has received theirs yet! And we paid an extra $20 for the special treatment! Mine should be in by late next week is my guess....and at that time, my empathy for the overseas folks who got theirs and had issues, will really kick in. I do hope they figure out what to do and get a fix out to all you guys (but not til the end of next week LOL)

I thought I read somewhere that Intl cars (all cars, not just the Chrysler 300's) have different fuel maps, due to Intl fuel emission requirements, and the US tuners do not work on Intl cars. Special tunes need to be written for the Intl market.

i guess we all have to stick with B&G some more and wait for diablo to fix their stuff up for us. (would be better to go with diablo since i want some certain stuff on the tune i guess.)
