Default SCT And crashed laptop

Ok so i have a SCT with KEM tunes on it right now and it works great. my problem is i have it linked to my old laptop and it has died. Can i just plug the SCT into my new laptop and take the tunes off the SCT and put the new tunes on the SCT like i would on the old laptop?

No, there is no way to pull tunes off a SCT device to save onto your PC.

I recommend next time to save your custom tunes onto another external drive like a flashdrive.


Have you checked your old emails, by chance you saved those emails and has them stored thru your email provider.

You can load new tunes onto the SCT, you just can't pull off the old ones. So your good to go if you plan on getting new tunes anyway.

I'll clarify how it works,

The SCT devices only load a copy of the tunes from a PC, so every time you load a new tune onto a SCT device, it just over writes the old tune.

Oh ok so i can just install the drivers for the SCT on the new laptop and save my new tunes to the laptop and then load them on the SCT. I dont have to "unload" the old tunes at all? And thanks for the info. Also is it even worth the hassle and $150 to get the new tunes just for 155/30% injectors?

Yep, your good to go with new tunes.

Can't help you with bigger injectors, but have read that when you go bigger injectors or turbo, you should get tunes to compliment the bigger injector and turbo.

Definitely get new tunes for those sticks. No questions asked. You can probably drive it as is, but I wouldn't go too long. What's the point of upgrading to larger injectors if you're not even going to try and control them properly? At least that's my thought.

Contact SCT directly, they told me that extraction can be done online with a technician. My desktop crashed and took my extra tunes with it.

got it worked out. No big deal on the old tunes. They are for the old injectors and no good to me now.
