You don't have to return to stock to update the programmer online but you will need to retune the vehicle for the updates to take effect.

I think the reason why that feature is not an option currently is because it poses a safety issue. That being said I will forward your request in my latest report to management to see if there is a viable way to offer a solution that would still provide safety.

I called SC with that exact same question and I was told you "Do Not" have to return to stock.

Today, I had to take my Jeep to the dealer for a water pump replacement and oil change. I tuned my Jeep back to stock and found that the popping/crackling from my Cherry Bomb extreme went away. The exhaust was suddenly so smooth. I am deaf, and I think it might mean that I was pinging the entire 3 months I had the Cherry Bomb Extreme. (87 tune on 89 octane/sometimes 93)
I retuned to 87 Tune after my Jeep was ready and it seems that the pinging is not present right now. I hope it stays that way. I would call Customer Service at SC, but I can't hear on the phone...
I am considering trying the Tow Tune with 93 as soon as my tank runs dry (89 in there now).
Thoughts? Maybe the exhaust was just more "aggressive" sounding due to the superchips?

Hi Mate,
I am in Australia, YES I do get pinging with the tuner... I currently run 87 tune (the lowest tune you have) and Australian 98RON (your 95RON, our 95RON is USA 91 RON and our 91RON is USA 87RON... confused?) if I dont run AUS98RON I get pining... its a PIA to be honest... Another guy I know here in Western Australia (VICTOR) also gets the pinging... so I am stuck on the one tune :(
Love to hear if there is any solution... I cant call you either which sucks...

I have been hearing word from others that there might be some members here having pinging issues while Superchips tuned.
I wanted to be proactive with this so I am starting this thread to provide direction to those in need of assistance.
If anyone on the forum is currently experiencing pinging in their JK's while Superchips tuned we would like to hear about it. Please give customer service a call at 888-227-2447 to log a tech support trouble ticket so engineering can do some tracking on this.
Feel free to keep open communications with me as well. I am here to help!
Thanks for your continued support!
