WARNING for all users:
Tune files saved using this release candidate software are not backwardly compatible with previous public release versions of the EFILive software.
Tune files saved using previous versions of the EFILive software are compatible with this beta version.

The method for calling Lua scripts from custom menus has changed, please see \Documents\EFILive\V8\User Defined Menus\SampleCustomMenu.txt for more info.


Full Release Notes:
What's New (https://download.efilive.com/Software/whatsnew_8_4_71.htm)


Version Numbers:

After installing this release you should have the following software and firmware versions installed:



[*=1]EFILive V8 software: V8.4.71
[*=1] FlashScan/AutoCal V3 Firmware: V3.00.142
[*=1] FlashScan/AutoCal V2 Firmware: V2.08.215


Download here:

Download V8.4.71_Setup (https://download.efilive.com/Software/V8/EFILiveV8.4.71_Setup.exe) (Updated Jan 15 2025, to fix Known Issue #1)
Download_V7.5.51_Setup (https://download.efilive.com/Software/V7.5/EFILiveV7.5.51_Setup.exe)



Known Limitations:


Limitation #1: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However, the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround: EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.

Limitation #2: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), that are specific to a custom operating system such as DSP2 or DSP5 PIDs when running a stock operating system, the values returned by those DMA PIDs will not contain valid information and should be ignored.
Workaround: Ignore unsupported DMA PIDs.



Known Issues:



Known Issue #1: The wrong firmware was included with the original update.
Workaround: Download and install the updated software above, or download the correct firmware using this link (http://download.efilive.com/Software/V8/EFILiveV3_00_142.efw). Save it to a temporary folder on your PC, then copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8\Firmware.

Noticed an issue when updating to the newest software.

All my AutoCals state they are "ok" despite them being extremely old, this happens on all updates. Ranging from 2022s to 2024 updates.
This means you cannot link the AutoCal to a FlashScan, upload .BBX files, etc.

Hopefully my image attached properly showing the issue.

After downloading the installation file (EFILiveV8.4.71_Setup.exe), you have to execute it to install the software.
The downloaded file should be located in your "Downloads" folder. Double click on it to install the software.

I have V8.3.37 in my laptop and did not update for long time
I just bought new laptop and want to install the newest version is there any thing I should know before updating to this version ?
Also where could I find V7.5 working with this V8 ? I'm still using V7.5 for editing and can't stand V8 for editing

once you make the move to v8, it's actually pretty good. You just have to force yourself to use it, then it becomes second nature again.

i still haven't worked out how to do the cax files in v8 yet though. luckily there's built in conversion available.

After updating to this version I noticed in the scan tool with LS1B the DVT for some functions will stay grayed and can't be used!!
Is this a bug in this version?

Which functions stay grayed out?
What operating system are you using?
