458 Does anyone have a 458 with a Scuderia Audio system? Help requested…

This might be a situation where it is well worth a car audio guy in your area tuning it. Use the iPad app, not on a phone - there are more settings that way. And what sounds good in another car might not necessarily work in yours.

 

I’m no help here but I did have the same basic system (edit - the same Scuderia Audio system - thanks Mike!) installed in my previous F430, and had it tuned by the installer. Loved it and want to do it again in my 458 but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Please let us know what you end up doing and post some vids of it!!

It is frustrating for me as getting my hands on some of these cars is like pulling teeth. In order to complete the initial R&D for a lot of these systems (i.e. 458, 488, 599, etc.) I had to make several trips (two hours driving, each way) to a couple of Ferrari auto wreckers and spend time in salvaged cars. As stated before, if anyone local to me with a 458 and/or 488 with my system installed would give me a couple of hours to sit in their car, I would absolutely program the perfect "tune" and make it available for free to anyone who wanted it.

 

That's actually not a bad idea. I'll make some calls. I am running a Mosconi digital signal processor in my car. If anyone needs a tune file for a Mosconi, PM me.

Meanwhile, there are tons of JL Audio TUN software tutorials on YouTube. That's one of the reasons I sell the JL Audio and not the Mosconi DSP. The Mosconi is very finicky. If you don't connect the cables in the correct sequence, it will never connect to the PC, for example. And it will give you no indication of what is wrong. Also, the UI is very outdated. I would love to swap out my Mosconi for a JL Audio unit but between my day job and skyrocketing car audio system sales, I barely have time to eat, let alone play with my stereo.

 

I have about ten calls out there. One guy sold his car, another guy still hasn't installed his system, another guy is also having troubles with his tune but just settled for a bad tune. I'm just surprised he didn't call me when he got stuck, I would have been more than happy to help him out. When I asked him what the problem was and he told me, it was a very simple problem with a very simple fix.

I am determined to obtain a tune file for everyone. I should probably step up my timeline to replace my Mosconi DSP with a JL Audio standalone DSP (as it uses the same software) but again, I am just buried with orders right now. Besides, it would really behoove everyone with a DSP out there to just hump it out and get through the learning curve. Otherwise, if you need a change, you'll be stuck again.
