[QUOTE="Ninjak, post: 12075908, member: 122048"] To follow up on the SCT crit update, I gave SCT a call this morning to find out whats going on. Here it is in a simple layman terms. 1. The update is for some issues they were having with cars (2011) being return back to stock, and in some cases being programmed at all. So the update will fix these issues. They had in some case to send a file so the program could reload, since the car would be in a non drive state. This file is basically their fix. So yes, its worth doing......just in case you ever run into the issue. 2. The update [b]WILL[/b] back up your files and tunes, and restore them to the vehicle. The reason they are saying to return your vehicle back to stock is because [i]sometimes[/i] this process does not work correctly and can corrupt the stock file on the device. What I did was copy my stock to my computer, then I did the update. The guy SCT also said this was fine, but want people to return to stock because....they do not want to be flooded with calls of the people who may screw it up, then not have a stock file. So it seems that the process is painless, unless of course your computer has a hick-up doing this. Be warned, tech support hold times are......long. So hopefully you can update and have no issue. GL and I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
