| Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled) Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip. If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here. |

CTS Stolen - Thinking Phoenix but...
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?Keith |

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. - Jack

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

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.
