HELP PLEASE - problems with 7.4 & SSR

[Boost]

I did completely remove everything EFILive related. I re-installed the latest version of 7.4 (01). Then I click on the first of the two 02 links (the second one says MD5 checksum?). It says "Open/Save/Cancel". I hit Save. I send it to Program Files/EFILive/V7. It downloads, I open it, it's in a zipped folder (yellow) and when I open that there is a blue and white rectangle that you're supposed to unzip. It won't let you unless you place it outside in the V7 folder where "obdiiV7" is. Then it turns into the Tune Tool (7.4.1.621).

Mmm...I just saved the file to any place. I have a file I call 'car software'.
I saved it there and then extracted it there. After that I just copied and pasted it to the efilive V7 program file.

hquick, does your 02 work ok? (able to recognize last available VIN license and no flaws in speedo calc).
If so, what does your Tune Tool say (when you leave the cursor on top of it for a few seconds, i.e. 7.4.1.621).
Is there any way to tell if I successfully updated to 02?
I hope one of the gurus here can straighten me out soon. Thanks a lot!

Hey BOOST,
I just checked by going to 'help', 'about' and it just says



My speedo calc seems to be working fine.

After installing the main V7.4 (Update 01) software, the Tuning Tool software version will read: V7.4.1 (build 620). You can read that version number in the Help->About menu from the Tuning Tool software.

After you have downloaded the "Update 02" zip file, the Tuning Tool software version will read: V7.4.1 (build 621). You just need to extract the contents of the zip file into the folder: \Program Files\EFILive\V7. The zip file only contains one file: EFILive_Tune.exe and it should replace the existing EFILive_Tune.exe file.

In Windows explorer, you can right click on the EFILive_Tun.exe file and select Properties->Version to see the version number of that file. You can do the same for EFILive_Scan.exe and ObdiiV7.dll as well.

The version numbers you should have, once "Update 01" has been installed:
EFILive_Scan.exe V7.4.1 Build 514
ObdiiV7.dll V7.4.1 build 643
EFILive_Tune.exe build 621

The version numbers you should have, once the "Update 02" has been copied in are:
EFILive_Scan.exe V7.4.1 Build 514
ObdiiV7.dll V7.4.1 build 643
EFILive_Tune.exe build 621

I seem to have 621. I am going to see my customer now. Wish me good luck. And thank you so much for all the help. One day you guys have to come to my house in Miami and we'll drink a lot of beer (and tune!!).

I made some progress! I was able to license and write the SSR, which means that it must be working.

The only thing I need now is instructions for using the speedo calculator. I was unable to make the adjustments. It seems pretty simple, but it's not affecting the car. (Speedo reads almost 10 mph more than actual speed).

I entered the tire size and gear ratio, then hit apply. I saved and wrote the tune to the vehicle. But it's still not woking. What is the proper way to make sure the adjustments kick in for the speedo?

The speedo adjustments can be complicated by adjustments that may have been made at "other" points in the vehicle's electronic systems. I.e. the speedo in the cluster may have been adjusted at some stage in the past. The easiest way to bring your speedo into line is to use the "Speedo fine tuning" tab page in the speedo calculator.

Thanks for your response. This particular speedo has never been adjusted in the past. Can you walk me through the process of adjusting it for 4.56 gears and 295/40/20 rear tires? The tranny is stock and it's an '06 SSR with an LS2.

These are the parameters in the "Speedo fine tuning" tab page in the speedo calculator:

-Displayed speed
-Acutal speed
-Correction required
-New VSS pulses per mile
-/km (H0101)

My main problem is that when I enter values in the tabs of the new speedo calculator, it does not hold them, nor apply them to the tune. If I close it and re-open it, it will have the default values, not what I entered. I even tried keeping the window open with my entered values, hit "Apply", save, then write. No change in the speedo. Please help me with this problem. My customer's speedo/odometer displays 20% higher than actual speed/mileage, due to the 4.56 gears. Thanks!
