UNINSTALLING - RETURNING TO STOCK
What if I Don’t Return to Stock?
Here are some common examples:
• If you take your vehicle in for service, they will “ash” the engine computer. Even if you ask them not to, any dealer or shop will do this
automatically – it is standard procedure for any vehicle they see and they really can’t help themselves from following this ingrained
habit. What they are doing is actually writing an updated le over any information that is currently saved in your engine computer. This
includes the tune from your GT Platinum, so basically the tune is no longer installed and you will not be able to use the power level set-
tings or any other options – but the GT Platinum doesn’t know that, it still thinks that the tune is saved to your engine computer. Unless
you go through the uninstall process with your GT Platinum, it will still show as installed and will not allow you reload the tune on your
vehicle or on any other vehicle. The only way to resolve this problem is to contact technical support and have the GT Platinum reset –
there is a mandatory fee for this service.
• If you sell or trade-in your vehicle you will not be able to install your GT Platinum on another one without calling technical support to
have the GT Platinum reset. For more information on Reset Fees, visit our website at www.bullydog.com
• If you sell the GT Platinum to another person without uninstalling the tune from your vehicle rst, they will not be able to use it. You
will probably have negative consequences like an upset buyer, having to refund the purchase price or cover the cost of a reset, a negative
review, and bad karma.
By now, you may have noticed a pattern: if you do not return your vehicle to stock and something happens to your engine computer, you
will need to call and pay the fee in order to have the GT Platinum reset.
How Do I Know if the GT Platinum is (Still) Installed?
There are two ways to check if the tune is currently installed:
Main Screen
1. Look at the lower right corner of the main display screen.
Show Settings Screen
1. Go to the Main Menu.
2. Scroll down.
3. Choose Show Settings.
4. Check to see what the GT Platinum shows next to “Download”.
5. If it shows:
• Installed – the tune is still loaded on the engine computer.
• Not Installed – the tune has been uninstalled and the vehicle is returned to stock.
• Recovery – there is a problem and you should contact technical support.
