the Install Download feature.
The process is basically the same when you are installing, changing settings, or returning to stock.
Important Preparation Steps
Choosing an Appropriate Time and Place to Install
Do not install if you will need to use the vehicle to get somewhere soon.
DO set aside at least an hour for this part of installation.
Under optimal circumstances the installation can be completed in less than 30 minutes.
If you encounter any problems, you will need at least an hour to resolve the problem.
Do not install if the vehicle is in a remote location.
DO make sure that you have access to a phone and a computer with internet access.
DO update the GT online by using the Update Agent before you try to install.
You might need to connect to a computer to get special files from technical support if you encounter problems during the install.
Do not install if you do not have a way to contact technical support.
DO make sure that you can contact Bully Dog technical support.
Technical support is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Mountain Standard Time.
If you decide to install on Friday evening and encounter problems, you might not be able to use your vehicle until you are able to contact technical
support on Monday.
See page 49 for more information about contacting technical support.
Managing Other Electronics
Do turn off all factory installed electronics inside the vehicle. This includes:
Headlights, heater, air conditioning, stereo, DVD players, etc.
Failing to turn off all electronics can prevent a successful download.
Do disconnect additional electrical appliances. Remove any chargers or electrical devices connected to:
Cigarette lighters, USB ports, or other types of electrical outlets in the vehicle
Do disconnect any other aftermarket electronic device. This includes:
Trailer brakes, stereo, alarm, CB, remote start, DPF delete, Sirius/XM satellite radio, etc.
Any electrical device that was installed after the vehicle was released from the factory.
Disconnect these items from the fuse box, or other power connection. You do not have to completely physically uninstall them; just make sure they
are not getting power.
CAUTION! This option actively reprograms the engine computer in your vehicle – if the process is interrupted because of poor prepa-
ration you will have problems which could prevent you from using the GT or even being able to drive your vehicle for a few days.
In order to have the best installation experience possible, it is important to review the instructions and pay close attention to the
preparation steps listed below:
Note: It is important to make sure that electrical devices are turned off or disconnected as described above during you are installing the GT tune to your vehicle.
Once the download is installed, you can reconnect and turn on all of the electronics that you normally use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not recommended to use the GT with any other electronic tuner designed to increase horsepower.
