Okay, so... this time last year I bought an Aeroforce, plugged it in, worked great. About 2 months later I got my Overkill tune, hooked it up, happy times, everything works. Got a new head unit that same month, everything still works except I had an interface for the HU that made my instrument cluster die intermittently and throw some weird codes that either had no definition, or (I was told) made no sense on this car. Got a new interface, fixed the issue, everything was back to working nice for like 3 months.
Then my Aeroforce gauge started shutting off and resetting in a never ending cycle. I posted on their forum about it. I learned that the gauge is basically always listening for data traffic on the car's network, and when it detects that data that means the ignition is on/motor is running, when it stops detecting the data, the car is off so the gauge shuts off. The reason my gauge is cycling like that is presumably because it thinks the car is off, turns off, then sees data so it turns back on, repeat. They suggested I put my electronics back to stock.
I put in my old non-stock HU that worked with the gauge, still doing it. I put back the stock HU, still doing it. I tried no HU, still doing it. So I sent the gauge back as defective, they tested it and said it's good and they're sending it back to me so I can figure it out. They asked me if I had an aftermarket tune in it, I said yes, but they never said anything futher about it.
The tuned pcm is the only piece of electronics I changed that I didnt put back to stock, could this be the issue? I mean, I know Will uses pcms from other models, and maybe there's something in the programming or OS that's non-native to my Comp G and causing a data issue? That could explain why I was getting weird codes that dont make a lot of sense on this car. Im just lost on this one, I emailed Will like two weeks ago and never got a response, which is frustrating. I also emailed Intense because I saw that they do their pcms according to the correct year and model, and I was hoping maybe that could help my issue. Intense never got back to me either for a little over a week now. I know Will usually takes weeks to respond to an email, but I was hoping Intense would be faster because I'd gladly switch to them if they could fix the problem.
I just dont know about the in-depth pcm stuff like operating systems and actual programming and data processing, etc, to make an educated thought on it, hoping someone here could give me some light.
