Default Emanage Karcepts dip switches?

I recently bought an Emanage that is supposed to have a Karcepts tune on it. I plugged it in and definitely stuff changed, but I don't know how I need to have the dip switches set. Anyone have any info on this?

I found a picture showing what they're for on a Giles tune, but I can't assume they mean the same on a Karcepts tune.

I can tell you for Karcepts Tune for an AP1
The way the dip switches so when the switches are off, you are on 91, when turned to the on position, the tune is optimized for 93 octane.

IT goes by tune with Karcepts by gas oct

Great, thank you! Forgot to say it's an AP1. So, all switches up for 93 then?

Yep all the switches in one direction is 91 and the other is 93. That's the only difference.

I know this is 3 years old but I want to clarify for future people visiting that have this tune. The tune REQUIRES 93 Octane.

Karcepts AP1 & AP2 Base Tunes require usage of 93 octane gasoline.
And the dip switches do not do anything with the Karcepts tune. Here is a quote from an email from Brian at Karcepts after I asked him "Any recommendations for the dip switches in the back? Didn't see any mention in the install."

"The dip switches will not matter where ever they are set on your tune.. all on, all off, any combination, does not do a thing to the tune."

For most, yes, at one point though he did make some tunes for CA folks that the switches were in use for, to switch to 91 octane. I had found this out and asked him the same question on mine and he told me that mine did not use them (same message you shared above).
