    I have a 05 Pontiac gtp comp g recently just got it and I hooked my DHP tuner and it read the BIN file and let me save it just when I go to open the file on DHP or tinytuner it wont let me I get the ERROR#73 severity 1 I even tried doing it thru HXD and tried to replace the VIN like instructed and nothing it says access denied . I really wanted to tune this L32 but its got me going nuts even tried doing some BINs from the Drop Box and it says the vins aren't compatible ???

    its just a folder you drag into the dhp folder. if it worked on other cars id guess its installed.

    i just did a 05 gt today with a off board. went fine. read it, saved it, edited it, flashed it.

    just seems odd you cant open the file. i know ive opened them up from the drop box. they all worked. im running the timing from a comp g 05.

    you pulling the radio fuse?

    try telling it to use the pcm vin, if that dont work try bin vin. would be the same. if that fails enter it manually.

    in car fuse box, pull the radio fuse. if you dont pull it it can do funky things. off boards are much safer for 04-05 cars.

    you have a spare pcm? if not id get one just in case this one bricks. the pcm you have could also be the issue. crap happens.

    pull fuse then try to flash.

    if it gets bricked its over. aka its dead, just a paper weight. if you get any failed flashes rule one is never turn the car off. once you try again dhp will ask questions with little windows asking if you want to repair the file and so on. if you kill the power it never recovers.



    why a off board is so much safer. takes the car out of the equation.

    how to make one, the one i listed works on 04 and 05. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...ness-99-and-04

    you dont even have to take the pcm out of the car, just unplug the blue plug and put the off boards blue plug on, for power you can run long leads and alligator clips for power right off the battery. just make sure they dont come off.

    in that thread they all went a step up and used a box and power supply's, you can just twist and solder the wires like i did int he boat load o made in the past.

    cars dead as the pcm. it can happen. why most recommend a spare on hand. i got one my self after bricking the one and only i had.


    if you got a junk yard near by the plugs are cheap. and a pcm should not be more then 40 really. what they go for on ebay.

    in the drop box is a pcm compatibility list, may sure the part number will work on a 04 and 05, they might not cross over.

    I don't know about the comp g because of the transmission, but the 04 gtp file works fine for the 05. Also 05 isn't technically supported in DHP. I've been finding a Lot of things different from the 04 vs the 05. BTW, I bricked 3 PCMs before building my offboard adapter.

    I just bricked my first PCM this week. The sad thing is I have an offboard programming cable that I made, but I didn't use it just because I didn't think it was worth the trouble of disconnecting the PCM. Programming in the car had been working great too, but it let me down and all it takes is one time, and then you're hunting for a new PCM.

    Offboard adapter is a MUST. Also, I would make sure to have at least one good spare PCM programmed and ready to go at all times, should some freak accident happen and you brick the one in the car.
