I have a V2 Flash Scan unit I bought back in 2010 and I recently upgraded my laptop to a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I tried to reinstall the EFI Live flash scan software from the original disc, but I got a failure message about the disc when I tried so I then went and downloaded the latest version from this site (V 7.5.7 build 180). Now when I connect the V2 flashscan to the PC and hook it to the car and attempt to download from the ECU, I get an error message that says something about the firmware needing to be updated and that I need to load version 8.
So I guess I'm confused. Should I not be using version 7.5 anymore and instead replace it with version 8? And then do I still have to update the firmware in the V2 box? I never had any problems with the old software and it always worked just fine. I guess I'm a little worried about reflashing the V2. Do I really need to do this?
Any and all advice welcome!!
