Small change in startup

Running my Gryphon on a tune by Bill. I have an 06 f150 xlt 4.6. When I use my aftermarket autostart the last couple of times the screen showing the HEX file appears but goes away when I hit enter. Now it does not do that when I start with my key.

?????
What was it like before the custom tune when you were running canned tunes?

I may be misunderstanding something, since I don't have a remote start system.

You should not normally see the hex code on startup. It only happens when you first install your Gryphon, or, after you have disconnected the Gryphon or the battery - which kills the "keep alive" memory in the unit.

It sounds to me like your Gryphon is operating normally.

The way I understand it the hex code shows up every time the remote start is used. Right?
Doesn't show up when key is used? Right?

This is correct. I never unplug the Gryphon and I have not removed the battery. Now an update. The HEX code apears on auto start sometimes and sometime the screen appears showing the four display boxes but no data in them. If I go to the menu and then exit out the data appears.

OK, I misunderstood. (It's very easy to confuse me). :o

All this strange behavior has to be related to your start system, but, you're the first person I've ever heard comment on it. I wonder if it has to do with the way "run" power is delivered to the OBDII port?

I sure don't have an answer. Perhaps the Mad Doctor will see this and have some thoughts.
