Is there a list of what is full flashable somewhere?

I have an A40 from 07, and did not realize this was not flashable. Frustrated.

Current OS 10377105, and all "????????????????" in the VIN when I read it.

The TCM will do a cal flash, but this messgae comes up for full flash with a later os :

"cannot determine TCM flash memory size"

I thought the A40 was full flashable, no?

Dealt with via email, but I'll include below for the benefit of other customers and so they know we didn't ignore you :).

EFILive has never intended to offer Full Flash capability on this TCM. It should not even be an option to use in the software. The reason is, the TCM won't allow us to read the entire flash, so therefore we can't flash back in what we don't have. You will need to get a subscription to TIS to be able to full flash them.

The full-flash icon was enabled by error. That issue has been resolved in the later software pre-release builds.

Thanks Andrew. Most helpful.

What this means is that stocking TCM's becomes a bit more logistical.
