You will not have a copy of your stock file until you load your first tune. First, make sure the "sd" card is not locker, or write protected. Once you have selected to load the tune, your stock file will be copied to the "sd" card, then the tune will be uploaded to you vehicle.

As soon as the tune has been uploaded successfully, power off your DashDAQ, remove the "sd" card and copy your entire transfer folder to your computer. For those that have the strategy flash tuners your stock file will be in the stock files folder. Make sure your folder includes all your tunes. They will be something like 210.enc, and your stock file something like your Vin #.stk. Strategy flash tuners will have the files for the tunes in the tuning files folder. Make backup copies, and burn the file to a cd/dvd for safe keeping.

This is a must.

Don't wait to find that you have a problem and discover that your stock file/transfer folder is missing.. Remember, just about everything for the DashDAQ goes into the transfer folder. Do not make sub-folders for your tunes/stock file. If you do, the DashDAQ will be unable to find your tunes/stock file....
