There are something like 100 DTC settings in an LMM, and growing :). When comparing 2 tunes, it would be nice if the exact differences could pop out. Is there a way to see the individual differences? Else, I have to do a compare routine in excel to find the one (or more) code that is different. Example:

C6001 "DTC Enables" N/A "Different from row 32 to row 32 inclusive."

But where is row 32? Just a thought. It is something I always wanted to ask. Thanks

You guys are probably sick of me saying this, but the Bosch system of DTC reporting and structure is abysmal. It's not the number of DTC's that is the issue, I've just finished working on an ECM now that has 666 DTC's and it was a piece of cake.
The core issue with the Bosch is there is no fixed list of DTC's for each OS, they can simply remove them (not disable them, remove them) on some vehicles yet they are there on others with the same OS. This unfortunately wreaks havoc with EFILive's DTC listing. The end result is what you are asking can't be done in V7, we are aware of the issue and will try to cater for it in V8.

The Excel routine works fine Ross, just longhand, and no big deal.

What is really funny to me, is I compared 2 stock 594 OS's, and the example above is what came up. The comedy is that the single "different" code definition had no label. ...after all that.
