Some wonderful, honest individuals thought it would be a good idea to steal the CTS from my truck. I've decided to go the less flashy route with just guages and a phoenix, but I have a catch: When they stole my CTS the truck was on the 80hp tune. Do I need to get it flashed back to stock in order to utilize the Phoenix?

Man, that sux.

Did you look into insurance to see if they can help ya in the $$$ dept?

All $200 of it after the deductible.

I think you do have to have the truck put back to stock before using the Phoenix, but I think Bill can help you.

Make sure Bill knows your CTS was stolen and he has your unit's Serial Number.

Nope, you don't have to return the truck to stock to use a Phoenix.

And there you have a "real" answer, instead of my "guess"! Thanks, Cody!

However, DO make sure PHP knows the S/N of the stolen unit.

So I'm assuming that a "stock" position on the phoenix would just revert back to the 80 HP program that is flashed in? I guess that would be the only downside.... no way to ever get back to a stock setting without having the truck flashed back.

No. Stock on the chip would be "stock". A chip doesn't revert back to the PCM programming on "stock". "Stock" is actually a burned memory allocation on the chip.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the info!
