maybe this link will work. but if not i have one blue bar that is sliding back and forth and after a second it says to connect ipf with the pc

[shinnman1]

well have you recieved the dialoug box that says connect ipf to the pc? bc i have left it there for like 5-10minutes and nothing

[shinnman1]

Yes i can click ok on the dialoug box and it dissapears but then it comes back like 7 seconds later.

[shinnman1]

nothing comes up whenm i plug it in

[shinnman1]

yep, thats all it does, the blue light comes on when i plug it into the usb but nothing no alerts. i just tested my computer with a usb flash drive and i get an alert

[shinnman1]

This sucks... and that sucks for you. I just want to install it already.. but looks like i will have to ship this back and them ship me another one. So looks like i have about 3 weeks..

[shinnman1]

im just going to see if i could trash this one and them send me a new one. Because if its faulty then i dont see why they would need it.

Well, no camaro ipf tune(needs gm software update first,ugh) but got my wife's '15 Cruze 2lt ipf tuned today. I have only installed a drop in K&N filter. I drove it to her work so she could drive it home to see if there is any difference. I had to call Andy for tech issues and he solved them. The Cruze drives 100% smoother, and more power and torque when you give it gas. I understand the engineering reason to give software in a broad region as North America the same factory tune, but really? This is amazingly how gm should roll these cars out of the factory. But that's just me. Hope the tune is as good for the camaro, if I can get one of these superb northeast GM service centers to update the software without it being tied to a recall of some sort.

I even had one dealer told me that if there is no recall then there will be no software update so don't waste your money. Ugh.
So if anyone in northeast Ohio knows of a great or even a good dealer service please let me know. I did find one that will update it for me Thursday. But it took me catching them in a lie before they just said bring it in. Interesting enough it's the only dealer I hadn't bought one of my chevrolets from. And I thought the VW dealers sucked when I had my old Passat.

Yes. It sucks when they are all miss within an hour drive in all directions. But I'm sure some of it is me after fighting with them on every little thing for all 3 of my Chevys. I walked into a great dealer this weekend. Stopped into an indian motorcycle dealer. What a fresh breath of fresh air. Not all is lost in nice people. But I'll save that for another thread on another site.

Yes. You are correct. It's very lame. That is why I do most of the work myself if I can. Some things are just not feasible to do myself, such as an alignment which the dealers gave me grief on that as well so I found a great guy at a shop that did an excellent job. Now she drives better than new, literally. I just don't think I want to wait 30 years to make a badass car that is fun to drive. Working on a new non rusted camaro is really nice. I spent too many years cutting and torching rusted bolts. I want my mods to rust with my new camaro. Ha
