Hello everyone
can anyone tell me how long it takes to download data using efilive 4 pro
on OBD1 with a vx commodore 2001 v6 3.8lt ecotec
last time I try I let it go for 25min and still didnt finish I stopped it
I understand OBD1 is slow, but if it is that slow how can it run the car

Thanks
Goodi :sly:

The EFILive V4 software, paired with the appropriate connector and cable is designed to stream data in real time from the vehicle. It does not "download" data in the sense of downloading a file.
As soon as you start data logging the EFILive V4 software should receive and display the data in real-time - assuming the interface and cable are working correctly.

Thanks Blacky for your reply
when I plug in my cable and choose my vehicle and then start
it scroles down the page line after line sending and receiving data last time I done this it was doing this for 25 minuts
when I plug in to OBD2 in the other car it is instant may be I dont have the OBD1 set up properly but know one can help me
the person I got the program off does not seem to want to know or help and not even the dash board will work when I start my car
any help will be very much appreciated

Thanks
Goodi
