Software version 1.8.3.0 must be downloaded and installed prior to downloading and installing the database version 2.006.0728 and any future database versions, unless notified of a change. Also included with this version is an automatic firmware update for your SDS tool.

If you do not have the latest version please download and install the software and database from Suzuki Pitstop.

If the firmware update is required, you will see the message below. Click "OK" and follow the instructions. When finished restart the program and continue programming the vehicle as usual.
NOTE:
Anytime the software is downloaded and installed the database must be downloaded and installed again.
