How have they supplied it? Is it a ".SC" file intended for SCal?

Yes it is, soon as you open it up it opens in Scal

OK, they *ought* to have made everything in the file invalid, except the CAN stuff allowing you to import it...but the safe way is to open to instances of SCal. Make sure you save a backup of your CAL before you start, just in case.

In one instance have their file, in the other your calibration.

In their CAL go to Datastreams | Custom CAN then down to each of the three sections (Frame Identifier, Frame Frequency, and Frame Content) in turn. In each, go Select | All then Edit | Copy. Now go to the same place in your CAL and paste it in.

Save it, then connect to your ecu, download to your ecu (a "disk calibration") and you're done.

No problem - if you want to email me the two CALs I'm quite happy to do the import for you. I do it all the time for Toucan installs :)

As Tim said,best will be to do via two opened SCal and import individually and save your current configuration before proceeding...
