:help2: HELP! I am as new as it gets. Sorry in advance for the lengthy message.
I just purchased EFILive Commercial from their website and got it 2 days ago. I mostly get the “demo” message all but one time. I have verified the keys, S/N, VIN, Software type so many times I lost count. Still I mostly get “demo”.
My problem starts with the 1 time I did not get the Demo message (and that time I didn’t do anything different) but on with it. This is where it gets fun. I had started the truck so I could see the dashboard work in real time, I ventured into the “Tuning tool” and this time it did not come up with “demo”. I thought I hit a view logs choice but a message came up with “Do not start vehicle for 15 sec’s…” then it started counting down. In fear that something would go wrong since the truck was already started I turned it off, yes off. Well I know I do not have to go any future for the experts, but yes now I get nothing. The truck will not start.
Since it was the first time plugged in, I have no initial tunes, baselines or anything. Do I go to the dealer and have it reflashed? Or can someone help. I am a senior computer guy so I play with menus first and read the details later, BIG MISTAKE. I did not purposely go into do a tune, my plan was to read up on that first. I thought I was grabbing info and data to save as a baseline tune. I have been in the forums a lot and see “stock tunes”, “Custom Tunes” But since I am so new I do not know how yet, and the ”demo“ issue stops me.
Summary; how do I get it to stop showing Demo. And how do I get it running with a dead PCM?
Thanks in advance.
