Known issues with Aug 07, 2015 Public Pre-Release

[GMC-2002-Dmax]

Paul,

In the release notes:

Build 279 Enhancements:

New option to force all lock/unlock key entry fields to display like passwords without revealing the value of the key. Useful for when you are controlling a customer’s PC via a remote login and need to enter a key that is not supposed to be revealed to the customer. This option is on by default but can be switched off using Edit->Properties->Tuning Tool->Read/Flash->”Display lock/unlock key entry fields with a password mask.”
Various remote options can now be embedded in a *.ctz or *.coz tune file which will be used to control remote Black Box Flashing, they are ignored during pass-thu flashing. The remote options are available on the [F3: Tune]->[F4: Properties]->[Remote] tab page:
[Set Key] which will ask you to enter a key to be used to unlock the remote controller.
[Clear Key] which will remove the key from the file.
The key is encrypted before being stored in the file.
Try Alt Keys which forces FlashScan/AutoCal to try additional known keys to unlock the controller.
Assume Lock May Be Faulty which forces FlashScan/AutoCal to attempt to unlock the controller even if a lock is not detected.
High Speed (VPW Only) which will attempt to flash the controller using high speed mode (the default value for this option is “checked”).
The remote options listed above can be managed for BBX Quick Setup files in the “Quick Setup Properties” window, available via the Quick Setup right-click menu option: “Quick Setup Properties”.
Adding/removing BBX controllers in the [F5: BBX] tab page now works more intuitively.




Is that a feature to embed a stock tune file to remote unlock any "custom key" locked controller ?

Thanks

Yes. However, it won't remote unlock the controller, it will leave the controller locked with the same custom key, it just allowes the flash to continue as if you had typed in the custom key during pass-thru flashing.
To remotely unlock a controller it has to be one of the controllers that supports Auto-Locking. And you must flash a file that is not flagged as "auto-lock".

Ok, so if I have the key for say an LLY, I can tag the stock file with the custom key, set it to not autolock and it will or will not put a standardized key back into the ecm ?

Logging Serial WB doesnt work on LS1B.



Never mind did the latest patch and it works.

In that case it will leave the controller unlocked.

If you sent a tune file with the custom key and with the auto-lock flag set then it would auto-lock the file using EFILive's auto-lock feature.

So the basic rules are:

If you are sending a file to a customer to flash into their controller and you don't want the customer to have access to the tune file, then set the following flags:

• "Cannot be viewed or modified"
• "Auto-Lock"
• Custom key - if the controller is locked with a custom key.

If you are sending a file to a customer to flash into their controller twith the intention of leaving the controller in an unlocked state so that it can be read, flashed etc by other tuning tools (i.e. a dealer using a Tech2 or TIS), then:

• Send a stock file - or at least a file that you don't care if the customer reads it out of the controller.
• Do not set: "Auto-Lock"
• Custom key - if the controller is locked with a custom key.

Thanks Paul,

So now for any existing pre-tuned ecm customers I have, I can send a stock tune file that will "UNLOCK" the ecm during the flash so that I can then email tunes to them to flash in.

Or I can insert the custom "key" into the new emailed file and allow them to then still flash the ecm ?

Thanks Again !
