Hello Ram Performance,

When you downloaded the EFILive software the Tune Tool Manual and Scan Tool Manual would have probably downloaded to C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Docs. There should also be a Tutorial subfolder as well - with about a dozen *.pdf files.

These are necessary reading if you are serious about tuning. There are also some interactive Tutorials on the EFILive homepage - under the “Downloads” heading select “Documentation / Tutorials”.

The “Advanced Search” feature on the EFILive Forum will also help you find topics of interest.


Regards,
Taz

Dont use the included CD to install the software, its old by now. Grab the latest files from EFILive Downloads page (http://www.efilive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=133) and install them. The upgrade the bootblock first, then the firmware of your V2. Open up V8 Scan & Tune, then look for the little FlashScan icon to pop up by the clock in the lower right corner. Click it, then click the F6: Firmware tab. If you need to upgrade the bootblock it will say so, do this first. Then upgrade the firmware. Good to go!
