This applies to the older units, and custom file that are emailed or posted on the web site. They are the .enc files. These files will need to be unzipped/extracted from the included .zip file for use. You will need a program such as Winzip to extract the files. You can get a copy here:

http://www.oldversion.com/WinZip.html

I would suggest version 8.1 (1.7 MB). Once the program is downloaded, then you will have to install it. During the install process, you will be given two options, install with Winzip Classic, or Winzip Wizard. Select Winzip Classic, unless you are familiar with the program. Log into the Spartan website using the user name and password that you received from us. Next go to the right side of the page and select My Tunes and Files. Click on the file and save it to your computer. Now double click on the file you downloaded from Spartan. Winzip should open automatically if it has been installed correctly. You should now be able to see your tunes. Next click the Extract button. You will have to specific the path (folder) where you want the files to be extracted too. Then click Extract.

Once extracted, you will have to create a folder on the sd card named            transfer            . You must have a sd card reader/writer. You can not create the folder on the sd card via the DashDAQ.

Do not misspell it, or place it inside another folder, other wise it will not be picked up by the DashDaq. Everything needed for the DashDaq should be placed in this folder, tunes, config file, themes, and splash screens.

Note: You will not have a copy of your Stock File until after the first tune has been loaded. As soon as this process has been completed, power off the DashDaq. Remove the sd card and copy your stock file to your computer. Make sure you backup all your files, stock file, tunes, and config file. Burn them to a cd/dvd and put it in a safe location for safe keeping.
