Exactly. They were pretty embarrassed. Decided not to charge me.

That's great news!

I hope that you aren't too disappointed with the smarty.
Why did you revert to stock?

I had an Edge Pulse before I got the smarty, the electronics failed on the pulse..
Personally I think that re-programming the ECM and not tapping the wire are the smarter way to tune since you don't have to deal with additional components and additional connectors.

I think that the Smarty guys should put that 5 minute battery disconnect into the users manual of the Smarty. It would have saved you downtime and frustration.
