Tuning Issues

Ok, i just installed all the mods in my sig and took it down to a local tuner here. He says that my battery was low and he couldn't get into the stock ECU to tune it? Does this make sense? Is there some "secret code" to get into the ECU? Thanks.

How long was the car sitting. Just go for a spin or charge the battery and then try read from ECU.

Or you can go the mini battery route, and then you can rule a straighter upper intercooler pipe. xs-engineering sells a mini battery and holder as a kit.
