Anyone with a current version of the Evolve-R tune?

If anyone has a current Evolve-R flash program, can you send it to dedgame@gmail.com? I got my car back and the dealer re-flashed my car, so I lost my tune. I went back to try to load my tune, but when I start the Evolve-R.exe program, it says my beta has expired. Now I can't load my tune.

It says access denied, link no longer valid. Can you send from your download and how current is the release?

Thanks for your help!

Okay, I found the software on their site, but now it says "cannot get enough information from the car, contact the vendor" when I try to run the program. The cable is working, as it is picking up specifics in that area. When the program is trying to wake the ECU is where I'm getting stuck. I guess I'll have to wait for Sal to read my email...

i think it is better for you to contact evolve... in case something wrong happen to ecu, even the chance is low.

Sorry for not updating sooner. I'm in the process of moving. When I got my car back after 3 weeks at the dealer with my tranny woes, I had to do an Evolve update due to the dealer flashing new software. Every time I have to do it, I always seem to have issues because the .exe loader is outdated. A bunch of members came to my recuse and sent me the program, but none worked. I even tried to do the copy from the Evolve site, but it didn't work either. Jamie from Evolve sent me updated program very quickly. I copied my current file and sent it in to Sal with the specifics of my car. A couple of days later, Sal emailed and said the last thing he needed to finish the file was my octane of choice. My mistake, as I should have sent it in the first place. I sent it in and it's been a few days, but I haven't got my tune file yet. Not really sure what the hold up is... I'm not counting weekend days either. They must be busy.

SES Light and Increased Emissions Message After Removing Tune (Recovering ECU Memory)??

Has anyone had problems when trying to remove the Evolve R tune and put back the stock ECU tune? I have had my Evolve tune on since 12/29/2011 and tried for the first time to remove it since i'm soon going to the stealership for an oil and brake fluid change and had trouble doing so.

I thought it would ask me to load a .Bin file (the stock tune was a .Bin file that i had sent Sal in 2011), but it wanted a .mod file. I think I then tried recover ECU memory and I think I installed the wrong file..I thought it was a .org file. When it finished, an EDC error message popped up on the naivation screen. I then locked car..waited 15 minutes...then unlocked the car..and noticed the locks seemed to not work properly (acted confused). I then started the car..no EDC error..but now the yellow Service Engine Soon light came on..and Increased Emissions message was on the navigation screen. Car ran..but i was nervous..so after this happening twice..I just turned the car off and made the decision to not touch it again until after emailing Sal (or receiving some other advice). Hoping I didn't do any damage and this will be a simple fix, and the car will remain in excellent (perfect) condition as it was.

Also, the software didn't show any error codes. In addition, I used the software downloaded from the website. I have simple mods (no headers, etc.).

Very stressed about this and my nerves will be bad until I hear that it's all ok and can be easily fixed. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!
