Current Public Release (Updated: June 12, 2019)

[Blacky]

IMPORTANT

This release saves *.ctz and *.coz tune files using an updated format. All new *.ctz and *.coz tune files that are saved using V7.5.28, V8.2.24, and V2.07.140 (or later versions) will no longer be compatible with older software or firmware versions. Attempts to open a new file using old software will result in error $0525 "Tune file is not compatible with firmware" or "Tune file is not compatible with current software version". Any customer that needs to open *.ctz or *.coz files that have been created or saved using this or a later version of the EFILive software, must also use this or a later version.

Tuners who support remote customers MUST ensure their customers also update to maintain compatibility.

Note: Existing *.ctz and *.coz files saved using previous versions of the EFILive software can still be opened by this and later versions of the EFILive 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 opening *.tun files (or reading controllers) using the V7.5 software an "Access Violation" occurs.

Workaround:

Re-download and install the V7.5 software from the updated link above.
If you have already installed the V7.5.28 software prior to the update on June 12, then the "Check for Updates" will not detect this update - you must download the V7.5 software and re-install.
Note: your old *.tun files can be updated/converted in bulk to *.ctz files using the EFILive V8 software's Bulk Update option. [F8:Tools]->[F6: Bulk Files]->[Update Files].
