Custom OS#5

[BowlingSS]

Bill,

The current V7.5.x software works with V1 (which already does BBL from the V7.5.x software);

The current V8.x software is for doing BBL with V2 (currently beta testing)...

In the future the V8.x software will eventually include everything (scantool, tunetool, BBL, BBF (V2 only)) and will replace V7.x software.

V7.x software will continue to support V1.

i.e. you can run the latest V7.5 software on your V1... you don't really need V2 unless you're flashing an ECM that is not supported by V1... when the eventual all-inclusive V8 software comes along, you will be able to run that on your V1.
Correction: see post #265 below (V7 will always be available).

Too bad about your job, hope you can find work somewhere.

Cheers
Joe

Thanks for the info. I am now out of work but I am talking to a headhunter about a job with YearOne. That would be a cool job.

Does that mean the 98 OS 19980200 will work with that? Is that a miss print. I hope not. Anyway, is that the case that V8 will replace 7.XXX and work with the V1. I do not have the V2....

TS,

Correction:
V1 will not be supported by software V8.
V1 will continue to be supported by V7 software (see post #265 below).


19980200 will continue to be supported by both V1 and V2.


You will still be able to use your V1 to flash your 1998, and to convert it to a 2002 or COS as you said...


V2 is required only if you have a vehicle with a newer PCM (e.g. E38, E40, E67).

FlashScan V1 will continue to be supported by software V7 (which will continue to be available indefinitely).

FlashScan V2 will in future be supported by software V8.

Thanks Guys,
That answered my question very well. I am looking into the small computer setup so that is great news and I hope that i will be able to do that money wise. I think that would be cool to have EFILive right there all the time in your dash board so thanks as we get allot of snow where I live and winters are long so I will soon have allot of time to plan it out. Did I ever tell you guys we used to walk 6 miles to school up hill both ways with only tennis shoes and no socks (we did have clothes of course) in 6 feet of snow? My youngest kids are all back in school now, today was the youngest ones first day as a senior in high school. I have been a member of this forum since 2006 and LS1 edit since 2004. Where does the time go?

V1 will not be supported in the V8 software.
Too much functionality has been offloaded from the PC into FlashScan V2 that V1 does not and cannot implement.

V1 will continued to be supported on V7 and V7 will be supported (i.e. bug fixes) for 12 months after V8 goes live. The V7 software will continue to be available indefinitely.

FlashScan V1 will continue to be supported by software V7 (which will continue to be available indefinitely).

FlashScan V2 will in future be supported by software V8.


So if you have FlashScan V1, you will still be able to do BBL and to flash in a different OS or COS.

Now your really getting confusing! V1 can not do BBL... it will always need a laptop hooked up to log.

Now your really getting confusing! V1 can not do BBL... it will always need a laptop hooked up to log.

V1 cartainly can do BBL (i.e. it can log without a laptop connected)...


Follow these steps:
- using PC/laptop program the pids you want to log,
- remove V1 from PC/laptop and take V1 to car,
- log from car (while PC/laptop stays home),
- remove V1 from car and take it to your PC/laptop,
- upload the saved log(s) and view in scantool.


From the V7 scantool see these menu commands:
FlashScan->Program Selected PIDs Into FlashScan
FlashScan->Read Logged Data From FlashScan

In those 2 commands, "FlashScan" refers to FlashScan V1.

Well don't I feel like a fool! Sorry to spread incorect information. BBL is a big reason why I bought a V2, I didn't think the V1 could do it. Thanks for the correction!

V1 BBL:
- single pid list (you program this in while connected to laptop).
- 23 minutes worth of log (in Fast 10 mode).

V2 BBL:
- multiple pid lists (you select which pid list you want to log).
- number/length of logs limited only by SD card size.
- able to read OBD-II diagnostics information (DTCs, modes 2,3,4,5,6,7,9).
