How can I run 2 computers in a 2010 camaro one stock & one with a tune ????
Hello,
I hope I chose the correct category to place my post. Without all the technical terms and abbreviations that I don''t know, is it possible to copy a 2010 camaro L99 V8 A6 computer and run either computer at any given time. Another words have two computers and swap them back and forth? One with the stock tune, and one with another tune, to play with, or other tweaks?? If so will the car or the computer tell on you ? Will it throw codes? Will it say hey I've gone 1000 miles since the the last time I was plugged in something must be wrong ?? If possible what's the process? And how much does a new 2010 camaro computer go for right now? What is the computer part number or spec number ? (is there more than one part to it?) What software do I need to do it ?? Any links to the parts or software??

just get hp tuners. read your stock tune and save it. then save a seperate tune for whatever on your laptop, or however many different tunes you want. whenever you want ot switch, you have to reflash your pcm (takes about 10 seconds).
here's a dumb question... why do you want to do this?

What I'm looking for is to duplicated my stock computer and put the duplicate in the car and if there is a problem I want to be able to put the original computer back. So once the second computer is programed I want them to be interchangeable.

I'm afraid doing what you're wanting isn't as easily done as you think.
The ECM's are a royal pain to get to and are not meant to be changed out like the way you are wanting. Then you have to get around the ECM storing the miles that was driven with that ECM installed. If the ECM and the odometer doesn't match up then GM will know something is up. |

GM will know if you're swapping out ECM's.
I'm afraid if you want to play, you gotta pay. And one of those ways is voiding your warranty.

Chances are if you get work done at a quality shop, you won't need fixes/warranty work on the engine. |

I just want to play with stuff. My car is 100% stock. I like to tinker and learn stuff. I'd like to turn off the AFM and play with the cooling fans, shift points, tune it, ect.. But leave it stock.

I'm with all of you. My new car would be quite a bit cheaper if we didn't have the cost of warranty fraud (as GM knows they won't catch it all) built into the base cost of my vehicle. I just wish GM would do a pro-rata reimbursement of warranty expense for those of us that never have to utilize the service...but that will never happen as those of us that don't abuse the system or even use the system get to pay for those that do... Hmmm...that sounds like some other system we are all facing... To the OP...Pay to Play is the way to approach your modifications. If you can't afford to fix what you break after you modify it...then leave it alone. |

[/QUOTE] If GM allowed people to opt out of the warranty and receive cash, then the price of the Camaro would go up if estimated warranty costs are averaged over all Camaro's produced. They'd be paying for warranty costs they might not incur. |
