I guess you really need to do 3 or more "apply" and "ride" sequences? I also had issues where it would just display a long warning message instead of going to the autotune menu.
If/when I buy a touring bike, I reckon I'll skip V&H and go directly to a ThunderMax instead... just don't want to spend that kind of $$$ on this Dyna.
At least it was a great day to be riding here in the Redneck Riviera!

It's going to be $850 for Dunlops"! I HATE Dunlops!!! Last set I got was so squirrelly in the rain I wanted to avoid it like the plague, and corners even on a dry road were iffy, and they were nearly twice what my previous set of cheap King tires cost, and only lasted less than HALF as long!! The guy says, "Hang on.", then goes to crunch some numbers, and comes back with, "Best I can do is $808, since we can't do discounts anymore, and the "special" we had on free installation ended last week." When I say, NO, he says, "Hold on", and then just takes off. After about 5 minutes, I'm done, get back on my bike and go home. You can bet your bottom dollar they are NOT going to be getting MY money!! I had called several other shops in town, and another HD dealer had already quoted me $750 out the door for Michelins, but a NON-HD shop had quoted me $420 out the door for Michelin Commander IIs. Guess who I'm getting my tires from? Wife is going to stop today to make the payment, and I'll probably have to wait a week or so for them to arrive, and then I'll get them installed, but it'll save me nearly HALF as much as it would have been at the HD place. I do have a $50 gift card I won at that HD place, though, so figuring to use it for the $50 fee to setup my fob (bike didn't come with one, so got one on eBay for $25) to work on the bike instead, and unless I win another card like that, I won't be spending a PENNY in that place!!
