View Full Version : Using V2 for Remote Tuning?

Hi folks and please bare with me on this question...I've been away from EFI for a while.

Can I export my tunes to a remote shop that will allow them to use their own V2 to flash to their customer's vehicle?

To clarify:
1. I write a calibration with one of my shop V2's and set security for the export to only allow the remote shop to flash-only using their shop V2.
2. Remote shop uses their V2 only to flash and possibly log as needed. I clearly would not want them to be able to read or mod the calibration from the V2 and I would also want to auto-lock to the controller.
3. Remote shop does any datalogging if needed and works with me for any revisions.
4. In the end, customer is happy and drives away.

I understand that this is pretty much what the AutoCal does, but IIRC is limited to 8 VINs.

Is this possible?

It would be effectively using a V2 as a remote shop AutoCal.

Thanks and cheers and hope everyone is staying healthy out there! I've missed all the good folks in the EFI Live community no doubt!

Autocals hold 222 vins. Use an autocal. Cheaper for the shop and nets same results. Regardless a flashscan will work just fine as well but no reason for it.

Yeah, that makes a difference for sure! Thanks

On the other hand, for a remote shop that already has a V2...is it possible to prevent them from viewing and editing the file? Do I simply choose 'Cannot View/Cannot Edit' and assign their V2 device S/N with only permission to flash? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything...

File restrictions are locked to your individual flashscan serial number.
