    Default UPDATE: V8 Pass-Through Reading/Flashing Support (pre-release)

    This pre-release is beta level software. It is not 100% ready for production use, so we advise against installing it into production environments. You should only update/use this pre-release in environments where failure can be tolerated and recovered using other processes.

    Very Important: Paul is currently in hospital for some back surgery so any existing problems with this release will not be fixed for at least 10 - 14 days as of the 28th of October, please keep this in mind before you install.

    Updated Oct 26, 2010
    Version 8.1.2 build 120 has been updated to fix minor bugs in build 119:

    We've activated the pass-through reading mode and now the pass-through cal-flashing mode in the V8 software. You can download the V8 software update here:
    http://download.efilive.com/Software....120_Setup.exe (18MB).

    The V7 software has also been updated. A few bug fixes and minor enhancements are available in the V7 software. You can download the latest V7 software here:
    http://download.efilive.com/Software....136_Setup.exe (90MB).


    There have been a number of changes to the currently available V8 software, most notably:


    • Look and feel of the V8 software has been updated (again).
      • The V8 software is now window-based. The tabbed based design proved to be too complicated and difficult to use.

    • FlashScan/AutoCal boot block and firmware have been updated.
      • Latest boot block is V2.07.01
      • Latest firmware is V2.07.02

    • Pass-through reading/flashing has been added.
      • Select the "F3: Tune" option to open the pass-thru reading/flashing tab page.


    Two new ECM's supported, E39 & E78:

    E39 Vehicle List:

    Engine codes: LF1 (3.0L), LFW (3.0L), LAF (2.4L), LHU (2.0L Turbo)
    All will carry the SIDI badge.
    As used in...
    2010/2011 Buick: LaCrosse, Regal (Incl Turbo)
    2010/2011 Cadillac: CTS, SRX
    2010/2011 Chevrolet: Equinox
    2010/2011 GMC: Terrain
    2010/2011 Holden: Commodore (Omega and International)

    E78 Vehicle List:

    Engine codes: L96 (6.0L), LUJ (1.4L Turbo)
    As used in...
    2011 Chevrolet 2500HD Truck
    2011 Chevrolet Cruze Turbo

    Known issues for the current release with regards to the E39 & E78 (these will be addressed in a future update).

    • DMA PID's for the E39 / E78 cannot be logged from V7 Scan direct, BBL is the only way to capture DMA PID's.
    • Full Flash and locking is not yet available for the E39 or E78.

    We also request if you read any stock tunes from these vehicles to please send them to support@efilive.com

    If you encounter any problems using any part of the V8 software, please post about it in this thread.

    Regards
    Paul

    Steve, Paul just put an LS1 on the bench here to test and it read / flashed and logged ok.
    Do you have any more info to see if we can reproduce it?

    It did it again today on a VX auto. I borrowed another older unit that hadnt been flashed with the latest firmware and boot block and it worked. So its either the latest boot block/firmware or my V2 has gone faulty. How can i tell?

    Are you running the very new 2.07.01 bootblock and firmware, or 2.06.41/42? It is really unlikely the bootblock or firmware are corrupt or your device checksums wouldn't match and the device would stay in deadpoll mode on boot.

    Dead Poll? Isn't that like when we vote for politicians? Its a poll and we vote for people that may as well be dead because it doesnt really make any difference.

    Sorry - feeling exceptionally stupid this morning .
