    not sure about your specific error but i will say when u download a tune it is usually for a car you ahve not unlocked and because of the vin difference you will not be able to flash it to another car even if that car is unlocked...

    Could that be your problem?
    also for another discussion flashing some tune you find online is dangerous

    why not read entire of the existing tune and then actually TUNE it the right way? This way you know nothing is done wrong.

    Sometimes if I save it to a file instead of opening with HPT, it works.
    You can then copy & paste to your car. pick & choose what you like,
    The Regal has been laid to rest..... rust
    Now have an 06 Lucerne with the 3.8 and wishing HPT would cover that car
