    The same thing happened to me, drove around and it said it was barely charging... maybe got up to 6%. thought I would have to use a battery charger on it the next day but when I started it up it said I had 98% charge remaining. Very weird, but I managed to load in the new tune no problem.

    I just did mine yesterday and didn't even look to see where the battery was at. It starts and that's fine with me. I plugged it all in and BAM! It worked like a champ.

    Yeah I think it was just reading it wrong.... I forgot to read my TCM file though, need to email that to VMS on Friday.... I'm happy with just the ECM tune but from what I understand the TCM tune takes it to the next level.

    Got my files back from Kirk yesterday and loaded them last night as well, very happy with the tune so far, car just seems smoother & power is up across the board, not just peak. Of course when you really mash the pedal that smoothness takes a break during shifts.
    I'll have to check the battery thing just out of curiosity at lunch time.
