SCT Livewire problems

does anyone know why the livewire made my gauges freak out? Hooked it up and now theres problems....any help is greatly appreciated...

did it come with a tune? how are you gauges freaking out? we need details

rev up the engine and the temp gauge goes haywire....turned off trac control and the display under the speedo says check trac control....
then the display says odo error

holy crap i think you got a screwy tune. you need to contact sct and have them email you a fresh tune. that should fix it. have you tryed reflashing it?

yeah...but vista fucking blows

the comp wont update,download drivers or anything

ug you need to install xp vista has too many problems, my best advice to you is figure out how to get a new tune into that thing and do it quick. you dont know else it might have screwed up. if you have another vehicle drive that one till you get the stang reflashed

have you tried going back to the stock tune?? That would verify if it is the tune, or something else??

zach first....where did you purchase this livewire? Second..didnt we tell everyone to NOT purchase the livewire? hehe that it had problems and heard bad things? hehe

Well on to the problem at hand.

1) Where did you purchase this livewire?
2) Whos tune are you running? SCTs? a Custom one from a vendor?
3) What mods do you currently have?
4) Like others said...try using your stock tune to verify its the new tune thats causing the issues.
5) How does the car run with the tune installed? Is it dying? running fine?

More details are needed....


Also...If your running the SCT "canned" tune for our cars.....its CRAP. I mean big chunky elaphant crap. If you are running the SCT feces tune....I would suggest you call Brenspeed or Bamachips and have them make you a custom tune for the mods you currently have. Those two vendors have far and above the best tunes out there for our cars. Makes the SCT tune a joke....oh and elaphant poop

man good luck hope you get it figured out if i were you id try to take it back and just get the x3 and if use the extra money ona wideband if your wanting some real time data

When i got my SCT livewire back in January it was F***ed up, and it took me till March till i finally got it, and the company doesnt help you out very much either. I called 5 times and never got answers, and i even emailed them a couple times, and the day it came in the mail they finally emailed me bk and simply said. "Shud B N Mail" That was 2 weeks after i tried to email them last. But to get the "check traction control" sign off, just push the reset button above your radio. I have my traction control off and everytime i get ready to drive my car, the "Check traction control" thing comes up on my speedo and i just push reset and its good to go. If you need anymore help just give me a call or something 405-519-0682 cuz ive been to hell and back with havin problems with the SCT livewire

Zach, whats the staus, did you ever get the car going again?? Is the livewire working??

Zach returned the Livewire and is waiting in his credit. Then going to purchase the XCAL3 and CAI combo and come out cheaper and with MORE HP

just what Jared said...returned the livewire and got my money back...waiting til next week to order the xcal 3 and the cai...maybe gears next...who knows??

This is what I'm running with on my computer... Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz, 960 MB of RAM

Just flash the SCT with the new version of firmware and it should get the screen back again. Plus remember they changed the model of the x3 depending on when u bought it.

all it dose is erase but it wont program. it just freezes on that part.
