Then the uprev instructions and it blinks back. Cruise control blinks back how many times I clicked cancel so I'm assuming I'm tuned with uprev. Cruise control has worked fine. Now I'm worried because I don't know what map I was in and don't want to put it into a map that might hurt something. Do I have anything to worry about? From researching it looks like the most common maping is:

1: Tuned Map for 91 Octane
2: Tuned Map for Higher Octane
3: Valet
4: Anti-Theft
5: Factory Maps

Is there a way to verify if this is my setup? What else should I know? Also I bought the car in Florida and brought it to utah, would the tune not be as good now? I've been very happy with the power and performance of the car, hope I don't f that up now lol. Thoughts?
Did you try every Maps? Did one of the 5Maps bounces back and forth at 3K rpm? Try reving the RPM past 3K on every Map and see if at least one will do it.(Valet)
Then as you test each Map, see if you"ll come across with no start(Anti-theft)

If still not convinced, meet one of our members (there is got to be at least one)
that is closer to you with Uprev cable. Hooked it up to your PC and OBD2 and see!

Thank you... I tried 1,2,3 and visually verified that it blinked back. Then I got nervous and turned it off. I can go out and check through all 5. Can I hurt anything by being in a race map without higher than 91 octane? I'm excited it's tuned but would love to know which maps are what. If I called uprev with my Vin could they tell me?
