Release Notes:

Whats New

IMPORTANT
The Auto-Lock implementation for E39, E92 and E98 controllers requires that tuners and customers upgrade their AutoCal and FlashScan firmware to V2.07.86 or later. The upgrade is required to prevent *.ctz and *.coz tune files created using this pre-release (or later) from being used with older software or firmware.

Tuners: If you update your software and/or firmware and attempt to deliver new tune files to your customers, then your customers must also update to that same or later version or they will not be able to flash those new tune files.

Existing tune files will continue to work normally with the new software.

sorry to post in here, but is there any scheduled work pencilled in for the t43's to be looked at again. if so, can a priority be put on getting access for the shift adapts?

I eagerly look forward to each new versions releases notes and nada, no mention of t43's. not bitchin, just curious.

At some stage 'maybe' but to be honest the horse has already bolted on the T43, it is nearly 10 years old now, most additional support requests come for new models and with GM's current generation of controllers getting constantly updated (E39A, E78, E80, E92, E98, T87 and some I probably forgot about), myself and and our other cals guy struggle to keep up with the demands on those. I won't be looking at the T43 again but the other developer has it on his list (pretty far down though).

How can it not be still relevant? it's still being installed in current model cars/trucks! Hopefully your not getting it confused with the old 4l60-t42 combo.

I'm talking about the 6l80e stuff from 2011 onwards. pre-11 you guys have all the shift adapt stuff which is great but past 2010 when they changed tcm manufacturer we are very limited. Hell, doesn't the new Colorado's use the t43's now also?

Not having the shift adapts for the newer models is the only reason I haven't purchased a stream license for this model controller.

I'm not having a go at you, I just find it odd you don't think of it as a current generation controller, especially seeing as it'll still be in the holden line-up until they finish production in 2017.

I never said it wasn't relevant as I know the 6 speed will be around for a few more years to come, unfortunately the T43 isn't going to keep our office doors open, that is what I meant.
We could spend 3 months enhancing the T43 but our staff are not volunteers so we need to make business decisions that will keep them employed without going broke (yep, I know I'll get slammed for saying that). The T76 is another problem child at the moment, late model software changes that have left us scratching our heads on many tables for them too, damn GM and their constant software rewrites.

Rather than start an entirly new thread, this July 28 pre-release thread has been updated to July 31 pre-release.

I understand your commercial constraints. However I have just got a 2015 Maloo R8 with a T43. Thats why I have invested in your product and licenses. T43's are still rolling of the production lines.

As I said above "I never said it wasn't relevant as I know the 6 speed will be around for a few more years to come" , the balance we try to find is the R&D time between all the controllers we support.

Thanks.

Still love the product.

I am not sure which recent software version this started with (July 28th?), but when making security changes to a tune file in the quick setup I get a message that states "connected device has been changed from EFILive AutoCal V2 to EFILive FlashScan V2. This means that I have to reselect the autocal after making changes otherwise the quick setup file is flashed into my v2 instead of the autocal. Also, I don't remember having to click "ok" after selecting "link to remote autocal" before either. These are not a big deal but it is a bit of an inconvenience that takes a little extra time which adds up over a day of tuning autocal. Just my input... Besides that everything has been working well for me.
