Ok just want to make sure I've got the instructions correct:

Plug in HP tuners and upload my current modified tune to a hpt file:

Load stock tune with SCT XCAL hand controller (what does unmarried mean?)

Plug in HP tuners and upload stock tune to a hpt file

Download modified tune via HPT so I can start tuning

Is there a document that describes this in more details? What risks are there, can I brick my PCM if I do it wrong? Can I always revert my tune using the XCAL SCT if I want effectively nuking the HPT tune?

I searched the HP Tuners forums but could not find any threads at all about this which I found surprising.

Pretty much as above. Have you logged onto the HP Tuner Forum? Unmarried means that the hand controller can be used on another vehicle. When married to the car it can only used on that car whilst you have the performance tune in the car.

I can't walk you thru it at the moment. Just make sure you have full charge on the car battery and laptop.

VCM scanner works fine, tried a "Read entire" but I get a "Failed to read ECM definition file" even with the latest VCM suite. Sent the file off to support, hopefully the SCT has just modified some random setting that isn't normally touched so I can get it up and going once they map it.

The tuned file, I'm guessing reading the stock file would be fine as it is a 09/06 model. Either way the SCT shouldn't modify the PCM so much they can't update their definition files to figure it out.
