Error after installing Eurocharged Stage 2 tune

Hi all - Hoping this forum can help. I have a '16 GTS and purchased the Stage 2 tune from Eurorcharged. After getting the tune file uploaded to the tuner today, I proceeded to upload it to the car. Everything went fine except now I get an "SOS - Service Not Activated" error on the instrument cluster display. After a bit of googling, this appears to be something related to mbrace, but I can't find a remedy and Eurocharged is closed until Monday. Anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

You can ID the error code with a scan tool to be certain, but more than likely its an error in the tune. I had a similar experience due to running with no cats. They fixed to issue quickly and I haven’t had another problem since.

They will ask you to pull the stage 2 tune off the car and send it back to Eurocharged. They will take a look and make adjustments.

You can get ahead of the game and pull the tune off, upload the stock tune then email the stage 2 back to Eurocharged now. They should get back to you within 24hrs Starting Monday.

If you think it’s bad on the W205, check out some issues they’ve been having with the W204’s.
