I have a friends 2001 C5 stock and current tune files done with HPTuners. How can I open these files with EFILive? His engine has the same mods as mine. This is what Blackie recommended that I do to upgrade my 1999 OS.

Thanks, Curt

Well if it saved bin format then you should just be able to open it with efilive.

It is and it won't. I went to tools, folder options, created a new extension, bin and selected EFILive tun to open it. Got any other suggestions?

Just go to the EFILive menu: File->Open and it lists both *.tun files and *.bin files - your bin file should show up in the list.

I heard with their 2.0 public release, they're going to a proprietary file format.

I can verify that it is encrypted...

I don't blame them, I don't think the reasons behind it were to stop other people using their software to find tables etc, well, we don't or we would still have under 500 :P
Saving them in a non raw BIN format allows extra data to be saved with the file, I assume they are finally saving change history etc like we do?

Yes, no need to fan the flames. A friend of mine is close with one of the principals whose reputed to be a pretty decent fellow, so I hope they can take a little good natured ribbing.http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/images/smilies/gr_devil.gif

It's all good fun and I think they know it is, we cop enough **** from club 2.0, at least here it won't get deleted.

Unable to open until I upgraded my Adobe reader from 5 to 6.1. I copied the emailed bin files to a 3.5 floppy on my desktop, opened the floppy in my laptop with EFILive 7.3 tune program.
Just as Paul said, the new bin files are now in my EFILive files.

Thanks, Curt
