Hi Sand Man,

EFILive FlashScan V2 has a few features that HPT does not:

- V2 can read the AFR/Lambda from the popular widebands using serial/digital connection (in digital form using RS232); this means that V2 sees the same AFR/Lambda that the wideband sees (i.e. with no errors due to analog voltage offsets or induced noise as would occur with an analog connection).

- V2 accepts an SD memory card, see below (a 2GB SD memory card costs US$5.00 and can hold thousands of log files and tune files).

- V2 can do standalone data logging (black box logging "BBL"): it saves logged pids to a file on SD card (HPT can also do BBL but not to an SD card); the laptop/PC does not need to be connected, it can be left at home.

- V2 can do standalone reading of calibration from ECM/TCM (black box reading "BBR"): it reads the calibration from the ECM/TCM and saves it to SD card.

- V2 will soon be able to do standalone flashing to ECM/TCM (black box flashing "BBF"): it will flash a calibration/tune file into the ECM/TCM from the SD card; this feature is currently being worked on, it is not ready yet.

- V2 can also read/scan all the OBD2 data from the ECM/TCM and save to file on SD card (all OBD2 modes): this is useful for diagnosis of problems; V2 displays a text description for each DTC.

- V2 will soon have bidirectional capability: you will be able to test the function of all the solenoids controlled by the ECM/TCM by commanding the state of each solenoid.


And there are other reasons/features.
