    One last option to try is to delete the registry settings for EFILive. These settings are NOT overwritten when installing a new version of EFILive.

    Exit form ALL EFILive software.
    Start->Run, enter regedit, click OK.
    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive\V7
    Delete the V7 key and all its subkeys

    Star the Scan Tool software and EFILive will recreate the registry entries.

    NOTE: You will lose various setup values such as window sizes, positions, data file folders, colors, toolbar positions etc. They will all be set back to installation defaults.

    WARNING: Standard disclaimer when editing the registry: Be very careful, deleting the wrong registry entries can cause Windows to fail and require a full Windows re-install.

    It's on the way back to you for testing. The scan tool portion actually has never worked on the Bosch ECM Duramax since I've owned it ?

    Although between V2 units I was able to reprogram just fine.

    If the V2 unit will not correctly ID the ECM, (see previous post) would that be a computer registry error ?

    Not likely, but there is a slight chance that some coms settings got altered or not set correctly. CAN coms and VPW coms work at different speeds and have different timeouts and delays, so (clutching at straws) I thought that if you were able to reset all comms settings to stock it may help.

    The specific timings I was thinking of are here:
    \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive\V7\Properties\ Adv
    They can also be changed in the Scan Tool Properties window on the [Advanced] tab page.

    Did you send the unit to EFILive in NZ or to a reseller in the US? If you sent it here, I will personally test the replacement unit to make sure it is working 110%. I will also try to figure out what is wrong with the unit you send back.

    Regards
