Well, I went ahead and purchased the V2 upgrade while the discount is going on and it showed up today. It's a nice little unit and when standalone flashing/logging is enabled it will be really sweet. The screen, SD memory card slot, extra analog inputs really are a nice step up over the V1 unit. It also lets you transfer over your used/unused licenses from the V1 unit so you don't have to use up new licenses for vehicles you've already got locked in. I transferred over my used licenses and left 3 unused licenses on the V1 so I can sell it to offset some of the upgrade cost.

Here is a pic to drool over.

 

do you know how to use that thing? you better send it to me

 

Very very nice.

Mine comes in next tuesday. LS1 stream will be applied shortly after!

 

I just plug it in every once in a while so I can watch the colorful LED's light up.

 

For the number of vehicles that you can tune with that LS1 stream it is a very good deal.

 

Especially considering that for every PCM license you have purchased, around $80 can be applied towards up to 50% of the stream. I'm ending up paying only $1250 additional for the stream.

 

i got to play around with the flashscan v2 at SEMA. it sure is a pretty neat gadget. I personally use HPTuners, but the flashscan v2 is a fine piece of work. have fun tuning with it

 

hold up I am wondering.. do you need a laptop to tune with EFI live or is the tuner pictured above all you need.. How much did it cost??

 

Currently, yes you will need a laptop, but the V2 will support stand alone reading, flashing, and logging in the near future, so you could do all your tuning with a desk top if needed. EFILive is a complete, custom tuning software suite, not just a down-loader like Hypertech. I believe the discounted retail on it is $749 for the next week or 2, then it will be $849.


XLR8NSS, you SUCK, lol j/k. Mine will be here Tuesday as well. I can't wait!

 

Yep, right now it is only useable as a pass through device so you still need a laptop but, in the near future new firmware will be available to upgrade it to a true standalone scanner/flasher/reader.

KB - I was amazed it showed up as fast as it did coming from New Zealand.
