    Default New tuner need help with PID's

    I have gathered up all the Calc VE tutorials, Firstly I added the new PID's to the config file but when I went to open the scan part I got a error regarding the displacement LTFTBEN VE PID, it mentioned changing (displacement) to (5.669) tries this still an error? So I got the updated config file from the CALC.VE thread and went ahead into scan software to select the PID's required some were fine others had red crosses tried right click more info but didn't give any info of other PID's required? I also couldn't find some of the PID's such as Dynamic Air Temperature? Need all the help I can get, slowly getting my head around what the PID's do etc but not sure how to write them into the config file to get the information needed.

    What OS are you using (does it support the pid GM.DYNAIRTMP_DMA)...?

    Are you reading pOst #1 of Calc.VET thread...?

    Post some screenshots.

    What year/model/vehicle are you tuning...?

    When you say operating system are you talking efi live system or vehicle system. Car is a VZ 2004 SS Commodore LS1. I had a thought do I have to be plugged into the car to set all the PID's? Will get screen shots when I have some time this afternoon. Thanks for your help. I started first with PDF tutorial but am now following that thread you linked.

    OS = PCM's operating system (has a GM id number)(not to be confused with PCM part number).

    You can select pids offline and then connect to vehicle, but the first time you connect you should go Info->Validate Pids.

    Are you using V7 scantool or V8 scantool...?

    Are you talking about V7 pid list or V8 pidlist...?

    Which config.txt file (post it here)...?
