Has anyone ran into this issue ? I’ve tried switching cables. Every time i try to save the stock tune this is what comes up. It won’t read the car at all.

Was this purchased new or used man? Maybe married to the other vehicle if purchased used.

Is there anything in the nGauge logs ?

When the tune and nGauge serials didn't match I got a "This tune file is for a different tuner” error message.

You don't happen to have ForScan, a laptop and an obd2 to USB cable do you ?

EDIT: Have you seen this thread ?

Well the thing is , it won’t connect to the car at all. Won’t read codes or anything. I don’t have ForScan

I think you can d/l a trial version just for the sake of ruling out the car.
You could also try resetting the nGauge to defaults.
Just noticed you have a 2015, could be the battery as mentioned in other threads, I'm sure I saw if it's the battery ForScan also fails.

It was purchased new.
Have you updated the firmware to the latest version? Try disconnecting your car’s battery for at least 30 minutes and then check to see if the nGauge will connect.

have updated it to the latest version from Lund. I’ll try disconnecting the battery for 30
Minutes. We did put the ngauge on another 5.0 and it still didn’t pick it up.
