3.2 Installing a Custom Tune File

4

Start with the unit powered on and connected to the vehicle, press the
“Program Vehicle” button on the screen.

5

Next you will be prompted with a “Street Use Notice” which you must
agree to and approve to begin tuning. If you approve and agree press
the “Continue” button on the screen to proceed.

6

You may be prompted to “Turn Key On”. If so, please turn the ignition
key to the “On” position but do not start the vehicle.

7

A screen will appear asking you to select your vehicle. Please scroll
down until you see the area “Available Custom Tunes” and touch the
menu listing that contains the custom tune you would like to load.

8

Next you will be prompted to adjust options. These options are items
available from SCT to make minor adjustments to the calibration being
loaded. It is not necessary to make adjustments in this area. If you wish
to make an adjustment, simply press the option you would like to change
and the screen will change to display the available values for that option.
When you are satisfied with the values of these options or if you do not
wish to change them, simply touch “Approve”.

9

You will now be prompted with a screen to review your vehicle and
options (if any selected). Press “Continue”.

10 The next screen, possibly two, will differ between vehicles. You will be

prompted to “Turn key Off” and/or “Turn Key On”. It’s important here
to follow the prompts from the device.

11 Livewire TS will now Upload the current file that is in your vehicle,

referred to as the “Stock File”, and will proceed to download the new
calibration you have selected with all options applied if you have
selected any.

12 After this is complete the device will display a “Download Complete”

screen. You can now turn the key to the off position. For GM vehicles
you may see a “Power Down ECU” screen while the vehicle completes
some power down procedures.

You have now successfully tuned your vehicle!
Custom tunes are built by SCT’s network of Custom tuning Dealers and any
questions related to them need to be directed towards the tuning dealer.
