My brother had the same problem (vehicle not in database). Diablo said he just had an out of date programmer, and that they would email him the updated software. Well, they never did even after he called them back and asked again, HE WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING OF SENDING IT BACK. He finally went to the web site and downloaded the latest software he could find. He hasn't had a problem since. He has also done the same thing with my fathers truck. Diablo wasn't any help but thier box is pretty good.

I'd try to get it updated again. In my opinion (take it for what it's worth), the money spent on the Diablo is well worth it. Not only do the tunes really make serious power, but the ability to upgrade via internet, view real time data such as rail pressure, boost, air temp, and about a hundred or more things, make it money well spent. ($320)It's a deal at twice the price, imo. There are so many things this thing can do, I'm not even scratching the surface yet...

Mine has been great. I haven't had any problems. I still haven't updated it yet. But I'm not in a hurry 'cause it's working fine. My truck finally has the power of the 600's now.

You dont need to update it if its working properly. the r-19 is only if the programer wont program the viehicle. Other then that extreme is the highest level of power at this point. I just e-mailed diablo.
