Default EFILive Black box Scanning, Reading AND flashing now publicly avalable!!

Here is IS!!

http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=48&Itemid=133


I gave it a try for the first time yesterday. Downloaded the latest version of the software. Got the latest updates, programed the latest boot loader and firm ware into the V2. Then I went out and read the current tune out of my truck with just the V2, came back in the house, transferred the tune to my laptop, added some fuel, cuz it was running a little lean. Re-saved the new tune back into the V2 and took it back out and flashed it back into the truck with just the V2!. Was really COOL! The flash took about 20-25 seconds with the V2! I'm gonna really like this!

They stole my idea you know. I suggested this to HP Tooners (pun intended) years ago and they ignored me. Guess they had it comin'!

Actually, this has always been in the works with Efilive's V2, ever since it was announced way back when... Just development took MUCH longer then they anticipated, It works VERY nice!

The advantages I see this are no longer needing to carry the cumbersome laptop to the car and also being able to log daily driving everyday would help to get the tune more spot on. The disadvantage (for me) is not being able to see AFR and other parameters. I'm also sure the upgrade from v1 to v2 is pretty pricey.

You don't have a wideband gauge?

You can monitor 4or8 pids, depending on how big you want them including AFR on the V2's screen while BBL,

Upgrade price depends on when you bought the V1...
