    Default July 2017, Beta Release 4

    Please download and install both the V7.5 and V8 software packages.

    Download EFILive V7.5 (Note: Update to resolve Known Issue #4 below)
    Download EFILive V8

    ATTENTION - BETA SOFTWARE RELEASE
    We strongly recommend that you do not install the beta software over the top of your production systems. It is possible that the beta test software may fail and your production system may not be recoverable. lf you conduct a tuning business, please take the necessary precautions to protect your business. EFlLive recommends beta testers use a separate FlashScan V2 device (when installing the latest beta firmware) and only install the EFlLive beta test software on a separate PC, laptop or virtual machine.

    Release Notes:

    Version Numbers:
    After installing this beta release you should have the following software, boot block, firmware versions installed:

    • EFILive V7 software: V7.5.10 Build 328 To view the installed version, select Help->About (in the V7 Scan or Tune software).
    • EFILive V8 software: V8.2.5 Build 320 To view the installed version, select Help->About (in the V8 Scan and Tune software).
    • Boot Block: V2.07.007 (Feb 07, 2014) To view/update the Boot Block, click the [Check Firmware] button in the V8 Scan and Tune software.
    • Firmware: V2.07.117 (Jun 23, 2017) To view/update the Firmware, click the [Check Firmware] button in the V8 Scan and Tune software.


    Known Issues:


    Issue #1:
    If you are Black Box Logging PIDs from an ECM and TCM simultaneously and you have selected a PID from the transmission controller (TCM) that has an identically named PID in the engine controller (ECM), then when the log file is loaded back into the V8 software for viewing, that TCM PID will be displayed as if it originated from the ECM. The PID's data will have correctly been logged from the TCM, only its name will appear to indicate that it was logged from the ECM.
    Workaround:
    None.
    It is a restriction of the *.efi (V7.5 log file format). That restriction will be removed and the TCM PIDs will display their true origin once the V8 scan tool software is available and fully integrated with the V8 tuning tool software.

    Issue #2:
    When logging DMA PIDs (i.e. PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
    Workaround:
    EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.

    Issue #3:
    When using the "Record All Diagnostics" option on FlashScan or AutoCal you must select the target controller by "selecting" a PID list so that the freeze frame PIDs can be correctly scaled/displayed. But any PID that is contained in that PID list will display its minimum/default value in the freeze frame data instead of its correct value.
    Workaround:
    Create a PID list with no PIDs selected for the target controller and select that PID list prior to performing the "Record All Diagnostics" option.
    Will be fixed in the next update.

    Issue #4:
    The V7 Tune Tool software no longer recognizes CMC custom operating system tune file and refuses to open them for editing.
    Workaround:
    Download the updated EFILive_Tune.zip attachment and extract the EFILive_Tune.exe into the EFILive V7.5 installation folder - overwrite the existing EFILive_Tune.exe file.

    it fixes some stupid/retarded "feature" gm decided to put in most of the NA tunes.

    Basically 2 seconds into pe enrichment you get what can only be best described as a injector pulse freeze. You can't log it make the change to the PW, but you will see the car momentarily go leaner than commanded, before it richens up again.

    On a NA car you wont feel it too much, but on a boosted car if your still running closed loop & pe enrichment you will feel it depending on your enrichment strategy.

    De-soot is an interesting read, and it seems to be less of an issue in PFI engines VS DFI engines. This is all referring to the B1220 and B1221 new settings in the E37, E38 and E67.

    Na, just too much water under the bridge so I can't remember enough about the E38 when asked out of the blue. The T43 is the one we don't dare mention.
