as Yoda said most of the manual tunes have very little auto info in them, some have none at all
also it is normal to have different shift lines in cruise mode, they were calibrated that way at the factory
the kickdowns are normally different to avoid sudden burst of accel when it kicksdown.

yeah i kinda thought that i looked at the auto settings in the manual tune and they were different but i thought it might have been the setup for the hsv base tune im going to start again with a auto tune for sure.......
also ive heard that theres settings you can change to make the auto to manual shift when in power mode ? like if i push power mode and put into 1st gear it wont come out of 1st gear until i change it manually this set up would be for b&m quick shift setups?

Airbag, check engine and fans are normal when communication with the BCM is interrupted, so at least this command from the ADX is getting through.
If the dash gauges are all over the place it sounds like possibly an echo setting, or a data synch problem.
