questions for SC'd guys.......
Was just wondering from you guys that are SC'd, and had a local shop install it for you, how'd you coordinate getting the software installed on the car? Did you bring your laptop to the shop? Did the shop do it all for you? Just curious to the best/easiest way to do this. Thanks.

Best to simply call beforehand and check with your specific installer. Or bring a netbook just in case.

You can always take the less technological route and ship your DME to the tuner.

Professional shops will complete the job
For you from start to finish. My shop was in touch with Vf throughout the install process.

Hey man, decided on the ESS vt2-585 kit......should arrive tomorrow but probably won't have it installed for about 3 weeks.....got too much going on the next couple of weeks to have the car out of commission for a few days

If you have a laptop with windows, I would suggest you do the tune or have the shop use your laptop, this way you familiarize yourself with the process, which is extremely easy to do BTW. That way if you ever need an update or need to clear codes etc. you will be able to do it yourself, and not at the mercy of a shop.

If your at all mechanical, I suggest trying the install yourself. I have lots of reasons for this but probably the best is troubleshooting in the future should a problem arise. Flashing the DME with the ESS loader is super super easy.

It's not a question of not knowing how to do it really..........I have the Evolve software now which i installed. I just didn't know if i was expected to bring my laptop over to the shop to install the software there or if i should email the files to the shop, or if the shop would do it straight from ESS.........just didn't know what others on here were doing and what was the easiest way to do the install
