SCT Xcal 3 update question

[GT915]

I am updating the firmware on my 3015 Xcal and am getting a message prompting me to return my vehicle to stock before I update. I know this may sound stupid but I just want to make sure I'm supposed to reload the stock tune on my car before proceeding. I've heard of people having problems loading a tune from an sct device. The last time I did it things went fine and I just didn't want to risk a problem unnecessarily.

You'll have to return your car to stock first. You'll be fine.

Thanks...I'm on it now.

Reload the stock tune, then update it, then reload the custom tune

Word of advice though, SAVE YOUR STOCK TUNE to anywhere you can access it as a backup.

they tell you to return your car to stock incase your tuner freezes up during update...and fromt he horror stories, it wipes your tuner. my tuner froze when i did it, but luckily for me, i unplugged it and plugged it back in and then it started up and started updating. lucky!
