"The Data You Just Read Isn't From Your Vehicle" Message
Why This Happens
Some modern vehicles/controllers cannot be read through the OBD-II port, but they can still be flashed without issue.
When VCM Editor detects one of these modules, it automatically generates a stock calibration based on the vehicle's detected information.
What You Need to Know
- This is normal for certain vehicles and does not indicate an error.
- If the vehicle was previously tuned, VCM Editor will not retrieve that tune—it will only generate a stock calibration.
- If you proceed with tuning, you will overwrite any previous custom tune on the module.
How to Proceed
- If you are comfortable using the generated stock calibration, click OK and continue tuning.
- If you want to retain a previous custom tune, ensure you have a backup of the calibration before proceeding.
