I think this is exactly what is needed. Giving them an option, but making it part of the firmware update process is what people need to make this MUCH easier.

Good deal this alerts the user that would otherwise be unaware that the V2 config needs updating also.

Just had my first update issue with EFI Live. I updated both V7.5 and V8. Then updated my V2 bootblock and firmware. All went fine. Downloaded a stock Calibration out of a new C7. It came up unrecognized PCM.
No biggie. I had stuff to do. Shut my laptop off. Figured I would email to Cindy later. Now it is later. Fire laptop up. Start EFILive. Oops forgot to plug in my V2. Plug my V2 and my laptop and my laptop crashes instantly to the blue screen of death. Tried restarting with the V2 plugged in. Would not. Just got the windows safe mode start up screen. Unplug the V2 the laptop fires right up without issue. Tryed plugging in the V2 in with a different USB cord it still crashes. Tryed different com lorts still crashes. I am guessing this a drivet issue. As the V2 worked on it own on the car. But it also worked tether to the laptop and the car earlier today. I thought the driver would have caused problems then to. Some reset after being shut down?
I need to tune truck tomorrow if possible and I would like to email Cindy this stock C7 cal.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Uninstall the new driver and install the old driver.

Thanks I will try that when I get back from Trick or Treat with the kids.

You haven't downloaded the correct EFIlive software versions then (unless your C7 already has an update). You need to be running the versions posted in post #1 of this thread.

I will double check when I get back home. I did check the build numbers after doing update. They looked right. But I could have missed something. Car just came in.

And a FAR BETTER job than I was even hoping for! Bravo!

Much appreciated!

I had the correct versions. Uninstalled and Reinstalled. Same problem. Instant crash as soon as the V2 is plugged in. Not real happy to say the least.

We will do that right after the Beatles release a new album with all original members, I promise.

If you don't come to SEMA, I'll have to ship your Christmas present to you.
