So I can't see the tunes on flashzilla when on my pc.
Only when plugged into car I see them.
Or am I missing something on the pc?

Why do you need to "see" the tunes?

I just wanted to see what was installed.
It says download data or something. But then nothing shows when I download it.
So I was curious why it shows nothing.

PC have a “hide file” feature that is a pain sometimes to disable to see what’s really in the file. Most likely if you do get it open you will find just coding.

Was just looking for what tunes are installed.
Don't care about coding

Not quite sure what you're trying to do? Download is to download data from the device that was pulled off a car, it won't download the tunes loaded on the device just the read from the car, upload would be loading a file sent. The file will been named for what tune it is, the device will tell you if that file uploaded, then you can check them via obd before flashing to the car. The powergate devices don't always show files loaded on the tool, it will also say "vin not locked" even if it is, Italian software and has the odd quirk.

I will state when i went from stg 2 to a stg 1+ (to avoid DMF shudder) I was trying to check to see the upload to the device succeeded via the laptop, but was left just assuming it did, and verified once it was plugged into the car.
