Look on my web page, there are the options there. If you have a laptop you can use my loaner cable for the cost of shipping. Click on my red dealer line to take you there.

I have a question Tom. I have a '08 2.4 auto, and all I have done with it was to put in a K&N filter in the original air box. So what kind of custom tune would I get with no real mods on my ride? Would it be worth doing?

Boy, I was in Omaha a few weeks ago. I have no mods on my 06 HHR with the 2.4 auto.
Well, My throttle delay is gone, feels like more power and the shifting is firm. My mileage has gone up around 2 mpg on the highway.

I use a laptop or a netbook. Yes minimum specs work fine, online access is needed to install the drivers and get the email with your tune file.

I want to add I have had my HHR tune for close to 17 months with no issues happening. The Deer Slayer is a 2006 1LT 2.4 Auto, 78,000 miles. I had the high end of the tune with mid range on the transmission for shifting. My HHR still wants to Get-up-n-gone. I also have a tune in my 2009 Silverado 5.3 Auto that makes the fuel management place the V8-4 cyl mode more aggressive and the Transmission locks up sooner for the interstate. My mileage during a trip to Omaha last Jan in the 7-12 degree below zero was at 22 mpg @70 mph. I put the transmission back to stock for around town.

I was wondering because I have an OLD Pentium III laptop, running Win 2000....... Will that work? Or is it too old.......

I can always run an extension cord and drag a desktop out to the driveway......

It hasn’t been tested on Win 2000, but as long as you can get the .NET framework version 3.5 to work on Win 2000, the software should run fine.

I can email you the link if you want to test it out.
