110BD an Additional Update is Required

    December 17th, 2021

    There are a few things that can cause this error.

    1. Make sure the device has been updated using the Device Updater.  Click HERE for instructions on how to update.
    2. Make sure that the device can read Vehicle info. This can be found on the main menu of our devices.  Click HERE for info on how to do that.
    3. Once on the Vehicle info screen check the Battery voltage reading.  It will be labeled Vbatt.  Vbatt needs to be above 11.7volts with the key off.
    4. Check the Vbatt with the key in the on position (without starting the engine).
    5. If the voltage difference is more than 0.5volts, or the initial reading is 11.7 or lower The vehicle battery needs to be charged before tuning.
    6. If you have any aftermarket electronic devices installed in the vehicle it may be necessary to disconnect or remove fuses to them.

    If everything above checks out, and is on a supported vehicle, loading a "Stock" custom tune to the vehicle can correct this issue.  A stock custom tune is just your vehicle's stock tune made into a custom tune with no changes.  Once that is complete you will be able to tune as normal without this error.
