We've activated the pass-through reading mode in the V8 software. You can download the V8 software update here: V8 Pass-Through Pre-Release (18MB)

There have been a number of changes, most notably:


  • Look and feel of the V8 software has been updated.
    • The royal blue menus down the left side have been replaced with by menus with a more neutral tone.
    • The menu options have been animated to provide better feedback.

  • FlashScan/AutoCal firmware has been updated.
    • Latest firmware is V2.06.41
    • It has been updated to support more features required for the V8 pass-thru reading mode. After updating the firmware, you MUST update all the files in the [Config] file system to the latest ones provided with this V8.1.2.115 update.

  • Pass-through reading has been added.
    • Select the "F4: Calibration Tuning" option to start pass-thru reading.
    • Click on the [Auto Detect] button to allow EFILive to discover the programmable controllers that are available in your vehicle. If your controller is not recognized or mis-identified, right click on the shaded gray area to select the correct controller.
    • A green tick indicates the controller is selected and is supported by EFILive's V8 pass-thru reading mode. A red cross indicates that the controller is not supported by EFILive's pass-thru reading mode.
    • Click on the controller (engine or transmission) that you want to read.
    • Click the [Go] button to start reading.

  • Folder locations have changed.
    • Please backup any files that exist in the \ProgramData\EFILive\V8 folder that you do not wish to be deleted. This installation will only save the EFILive files from that folder before deleting it.
    • NOTE The folder \ProgramData\EFILive\V8 is specific to Vista and Win7. For WinXp/Win2K users the folder is called: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EFILive\V8.
    • During the installation, the following folders/files will be moved:
    • \ProgramData\EFILive\V8 folder is MOVED to \Program Files\EFILive\V8 (then \ProgramData\EFILive is deleted)
    • \ProgramData\EFILive\V8\Config\*.txt files are MOVED to \My Documents\EFILive\V8\Config\*.txt
    • \ProgramData\EFILive\V8\Config\*.dat files are MOVED to \My Documents\EFILive\V8\Config\*.dat
    • \Program Files\EFILive\V8\Splash Screens folder is MOVED to \My Documents\EFILive\V8\Splash Screens
