Wasn't gonna install till I got my custom tune, but changed my mind the other day and figured I would put it in this weekend. Well I installed Pegasus on my laptop today, I'm running vista, and went to go thru the steps of updating my programmer. Well when connected to my computer the gryphon's screen is a blank green but Pegasus tells me this:


Unable to locate a Target Instruction file. Process failed

Update failed. Please contact your vendor for assistance.


What is going on? Why isn't Pegasus letting me do anything? Did I screw up my new toy already?

I think you're fine. Pegasus is just telling you there's no custom tunes ready for you yet.

Take your programmer out to your truck. Turn the ignition to ON (don't start the engine) and plug the Gryphon in to the OBDII port. If you see the hex code again that's normal.

You should be able to program in any of the "canned" tunes on the Gryphon. I'd recommend Level 2. Do it and "skip" the "Custom Options" step. I think you'll like the results.
