Can I use my Predator on my 2012 before the tunes come out?

Like many of us, I bought a Predator because Diablosport said 2011+ tuning will be available at SEMA. Well we still have no tunes for 12s, but can I plug it in and use the diagnostics? The virtual dragstrip? It might be good to have some "before" baselines.

I have heard that it does not work.

The 11 and 12 have a different computer. They have hacked the codes for both so they claim but no release yet.

The 12 has the same computer as other dodge vehicles so you might try to see which one has the same and try to use that download...

Either way you should get an error message if it doesnt work.

The virtual drag strip and everything should work. It just goes off the diagnostic readings and the speedometer and stuff as such, but any sort of modifications will not work (tire size, timing, AFR, etc...)

The predator is discontinued, it was replaced by the intune but even those's aren't compatible for the 11s yet (only the trinity at this point)...unless you have an 09-10 it's just gonna be paper weight.
