tuning vy v6 commodore

[aza03]

hi i have efi live v4 software and cable from when i owned a vr i am just wandering can i use the same cable and software to tuning my vy commodore. if it is possible would anyone have a vechile file for the vy commodore in .xml format. thx

The VY 5.7 liter requires EFILive V7.x and can be scanned and tuned using FlashScan V1 or V2.

The VY 3.8 liter can only be scanned by EFILive V4. WE don;t offer tuning for VY 6 cylinders.

Hi,

I've got a V8 VY Monaro and have a 9 pin RS232 ALDL cable (which I used to use with my V6 VR).

Could you confirm this serial cable will work with the VY V8 Monaro and EFI Live V7?

Thanks.

John

No, the VY V8 is not supported with the ALDL cable.

You must use FlashScan V1 for GenIII engines or FlashScan V2 for GenIII and GenIV engines.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick response. Can I re-confirm that EFI Live V7 will not work with the VY V8 Monaro?

I need to purchase the hardware solution (FlashScan) ?

On the software side:

EFILive V7 is the correct software for VT series II thru to the latest model VE commodore V8s.
EFILive V4 is compatible with VN, VP, VR, VS and VT series I (V8s). And for VN, VP, VR, VS, VT, VX and VY V6's

On the hardware side:

EFILive V7 software uses FlashScan V1 or V2. V1 supports VT-II thru VZ (non HSV) and V2 is for ALL VT-II to current V8 commodores.

EFILive V4 software uses various ALDL interfaces but NOT FlashScan.

We intend to add software to the next version of V7 (called V8 - not to be confused with V8 engines) that allows you to scan and log ALDL vehicles using FlashScan V2.

Hope that is not too confusing.

Regards
Paul

I think so

What you're saying is that I need EFI Live V7 as well as the hardware (FlashScan) ?

Is there any way I can avoid purchasing the hardware, but use V4 or V7 of EFILive to read limited data (I'm interested in seeing stored fault codes, and viewing the oxygen sensor's signal).
