The error message you are encountering indicates a formatting issue with the input string in the update agent for your Bully Dog GT tuner. The specific exception is a System.FormatException stating that the input string was not in the correct format. Here are some key points from the error message:

• The error is occurring during a call to CheckOnlineVersion() in the Agent.BDDevice class.
• The error is related to parsing an integer value (ParseInt32) from a string.
• The error seems to be happening in the loading process of the agent form (AgentForm_Load).

To address this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify Input Format: Check if the input data being processed by the update agent is correctly formatted. It seems that there might be a string that is expected to be converted to an integer, but the format is incorrect.
2. Debugging: Since the error suggests enabling just-in-time (JIT) debugging, you may want to set up debugging to get more detailed information about where the error is occurring in the code.
3. Check Data Source: Review the data sources being used by the update agent to ensure that the input values are in the expected format before being processed.
4. Update Agent: Ensure that your update agent is up-to-date. It's possible that an update may have resolved this issue, especially if it's a known bug that has been fixed in newer versions. If you have access to the code or can modify the input data, you may need to investigate further to pinpoint the exact cause of the formatting issue. If you continue to experience the problem, you may want to reach out to the Bully Dog support team for more specialized assistance.
