Hi all - another question...
Is there a way to work on an existing EFILive tuned PCM without having to charge the customer another $100 to license the VIN to my cable? This customer has already paid their EFILive VIN license fee to another tuner and in this case removed their pos STS turbo kit, and I could not access the tune in their vehicle because it was not licensed to MY Flashscan V2 box; the customer elected to drive back to the original tuner to finish the job rather than pay me another $100 for a second, unnecessary EFILive VIN license.
Suggestions - can the licensing model of EFILive be changed so that the $100 VIN license fee is only collected once per VIN? If the V2 discovers that a EFILive tune is already present on the PCM it goes ahead and recognizes that PCM as writeable? Another idea, add to EFILive Tune application internet connectivity and have the software validate the PCM begin flashed, so that if it has been modified by EFILive already and the company has collected its VIN license fee the customer is not hit up for this fee again just because they elect to switch tuners.
I've had this happen 3-times in the last year... guys ask me to help them with their truck issues and I cannot because the customer would have to pay another EFILive VIN license fee.
