We intend to release the new V7 Scan Tool and Tuning tool software in November. The FlashScan interface will be available shortly after that.
The software will run in demo mode without a FlashScan interface. Once you decide to purchase an interface then the software will run in normal mode.

Remember, existing EFILive Scan Tool customers will get a significant discount when upgrading to the new FlashScan interface cable.

Being able to downlaod and "play" with the demo software will give customers a risk free way to evaluate EFILive's Tuning Tool and Scan Tool technologies.

Kool...I've been waiting for months.

It's like Christmas in November...unless of-course it's not available for '98s. Then I'll still be mad at Santa.

So...what's the timeline for 98's?

98's will not be released on day 1.
We will be configuring our software for 98's following the initial release.

We are aiming to have 98 support by Christmas.

Two VINs will ship standard (included in the purchase price) with the Personal version.
Extra VINs (up to 10) will be very resonably priced also.
Extra VINs can be added prior to purchase, or after purchase via email without having returning the cable to EFILive.

This sounds great. :D

I have a couple questions about platforms/year models...
Will the FlashScan cable be restricted to certain year/platform ranges? Or can the (up to) 10 VINs be used on any year/platform that the product supports?
Also, similar question for software. Will the tuning software be capable of viewing and/or modifying all year/platforms? Or restricted?

thanks

There is no restriction on which vehicles you choose to tune. You can reflash any combination of supported vehicles. We will supply a list of supported vehicles when the product is available for sale.

The Tuning Tool software will be free to download, distribute and use, just like the Scan Tool software. You'll just need an interface and a valid license for that interface to use any features that require the interface cable.

I believe the Tuning Tool software will be configured to allow you to view and also edit any supported vehicle - but don't quote me on that just yet, I'm not the one making that decision and I could be wrong.

Paul,
Will Flash scan be able to unlock PCM's locked by VCM suite? When will we see a comparitive list of features etc to compare LS1 edit and VCM suite to Flash scan?
Thanks

The "locking" method employed by GM, EFIlive and others, is most probably the same.
However, the unless unlock "key" is known, EFILive will not unlock the PCM.
If the person who locked the PCM knows the correct key and enters that correct key into EFILive then EFIlive will probably unlock a locked PCM.
We have not tried to, nor will we try to, subvert the security in any other software package, so we don't really know for sure.

A feature comparison list will be published when the software is relaased.

Paul

No specific date.
We can't/won't commit to a date just yet, since many of the milestones on our timeline are out of our control. Once we have full control over the product delivery, i.e. all suppliers have supplied, all stock is available, all the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted, then we will give a firm date.

If we did give a date now, we could not provide any certainty and we would be potentially setting people up for disappointment.

We are keenly aware that there has been a delay, but we firmly believe it is better to deliver the right product later, rather than a half done product sooner.
Anyone who is prepared to wait for the right product will not be disappointed.

EFILive's Tuning Tool is scheduled to be on display in a few upcoming motor/trade events so it *will* be ready soon.

Paul

We will be setting up a web page for people to register their interest in purchasing (or upgrading to) EFILive's Tuning Tool.

However, we will not accept any payment until FlashScan is boxed and ready to ship. People who register will have their orders filled in the order that they registered. Registration is not mandatory, we will be able to fill all orders within days of product availability.

Paul
