where soon.

Under optimal circumstances the installation can be completed in
less than 30 minutes.
If you encounter any problems, you will need at least an hour to
resolve the problem.
Do NOT install if the vehicle is in a remote location.
DO make sure that you have access to a phone, electrical outlet and a
computer with internet access.
DO update the GT Platinum online by using the Update Agent before
you try to install.
You might need to connect to a computer to get special les from
technical support if you encounter problems during the install.
Do NOT install if you do not have a way to contact technical
support.
DO make sure that you can contact Bully Dog technical support.
Technical support is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Moun-
tain Standard Time.
If you decide to install on Friday evening and encounter problems,
you might not be able to use your vehicle until you are able to

Managing Other Electronics
DO turn o all factory installed electronics inside the vehicle.

chargers or electrical devices connected to:
Cigarette lighters, USB ports, or other types of electrical outlets in
the vehicle
DO disconnect any other aftermarket electronic device. This
includes:
Trailer brakes, stereo, alarm, CB, remote start, DPF delete, Sirius/XM
satellite radio, etc.
Any electrical device that was installed after the vehicle was
released from the factory.
Disconnect these items from the fuse box, or other power connec-
tion. You do not have to completely physically uninstall them; just
make sure they are not getting power.
Make SURE all aftermarket fuses are removed
Make SURE that the Battery is Charged
DO make sure that your batteries are fully charged before begin-
ning any download.
It is a good idea to have a battery charger ready to connect to your
vehicle if the batteries begin to lose their charge while you are
installing the download.
Make SURE the Tuner is Ready

This is a free application available on the Bully Dog website.
This requires a computer with internet access.

tions on updating the GT Platinum.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not recommended to use the GT Platinum with any other electronic tuner designed to increase horsepower.
