LMS tunes update

[BoatSHO]

Quick question, I tried searching and didn't find anything...

So I have LMS tunes - with the MyCal and the tuner update program on my computer. Does LMS automatically go out and provide you new versions of tunes? Or do I have to specifically request one using the form? For example, I am running the LMS V8 93 octane which is 1 of 3 tunes loaded on my handheld. Do I need to ask for V9 or V10? Or if I connect my handheld Mycal to the computer, has LMS updated my tunes automatically to the V9 or V10?

And I would then follow-up with- is the V9 or V10 tunes worth upgrading from the V8 tune?

As always, thanks in advance!

You have to email them and request any change in tunes, then I believe they send you a link to click on while your tuner is plugged into computer to update it.

Awesome, thanks! I was kinda thinking that would be the case. I can't imagine they would just go update people's tunes on the server...but I wasn't sure. Now I will search or see if anyone provides any feedback on the V8 vs 9 or 10.
Is the "V" in the tunes simply just the version number?

My car is an 11 so I have the 4x....so I'm not an expert, but I believe you are correct that the V is just version of the tune.

I went from V8 to V10 almost a year ago and was surprised I was able to notice the difference right away, especially in overall daily driving.

Thanks! I will submit the form and request V10 asap!

Thank you to everyone in this thread, that is the correct course of action to submit a tune update request form and we will get you new version along with a link to the loader if you no longer have it on your PC.

Once again, thank you!!

Love V10, esp the 91 tune, seems to work better than V10 93, not sure why. If your feeling really bad, ask for the V8 Race tune. HEHE!

What do you mean the 91 works better?

After my temperature gauge went missing with the 91 tune, I thought I'd try the 89 tune to see if it would come back. It did not, but the 89 tune actually feels stronger than the 91.

For what I was doing this yeah, bracket racing. The 91 tune was more consitant than the 93, times were much different either.
