Are you downloading from here: downloads page (http://www.efilive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=133)

If you have FlashScan V1 you want V7 build 204.

If you have FlashScan V2 you want V7 build 204 and V8 build 195.

Download build 204 (do this by doing rightclick->Save As on the link, and specify your desktop);

then on your desktop double click on that file and follow the installation prompts.


Then also do the same for V8 build 195.


Then, after this, do Check for Updates in each of V7 and V8 to automatically perform the software update.

oh. no they won't work for E38, you have to change the maps to use E38 pids.

Maps, charts, gauges are fairly easy to configure...

while in the scantool click Help->Help Contents and look at Maps and Dash/Charts and Dash/Gauges.

If the 2 amber LEDs flash alternately, start the V8 EFILive Explorer, goto the Firmware tab, and flash in the firmware.

Then make sure both firmware and bootblock are at current revisions.
