    did u pull the tcm fuse and replug? It happens on all A6 files with me, every time I tune a new one, I need to pull the fuse and replace for it to read/write fine again. Should only happen the first time if u keep using the same computer/laptop. Change the laptop/computer and you'll have to do the same thing again.

    did you make sure you turned the ignition to the off position after the read?

    Ive had the best luck with disconnecting the battery after every read or write. No issues to date.

    I have tuned over 30 L99 and LS3's 2010 Camaro SS's.
