DCT and SC software

Does anyone know if the Dinan DCT software will interfere at all with the ESS SC software or vise versa? Will one override the other?

The DCT uses a different control unit (GS19 is the name, IIRC) so I don't think a tune on one will affect the other. I would still suggest you verify this with both vendors.

I just want to add to this, I always had a software issue with ESS tune for my SC and the Dinan DCT tune. There was a glitch only in 2nd gear when accelerating out of it after coming from a higher gear and neither Dinan or ESS would acknowledge it. I went completely back to stock and the issue was gone, just a heads up. Some may be running with no issue but I had an issue but learned how to avoid it buy either downshifting to 1st or 3rd if possible.
