Operating systems

What I meant by version was FlashscanV1, or FlashscanV2

I think V1 only allows reading, possibly editing
I think V2 allows reading, editing, OS change, and crank learn(you dont need).

But you might want to do some searching on that and make sure I am correct.

I have not tryed to change os, so anything other then where the button is, is slightly beyond my experience.

V1 and V2 do the same as far as reading and flashing using the PC. The V2 adds standalone functions (in beta right now). The main difference is the V1 only supports VPW. The V2 supports VPW and CAN/GMLAN.

I thought you couldnt do a crank learn, or changes OS with V1?

But I dont have it, so thats why I was telling him to search.

Dale thanks for the help, I have a version 2 just bought it a couple of weeks ago so I am still pretty green. I think I will steer clear of the OS change for know until I am more familiar with the systems.

It is starting to sound like the OS is the OEMS way of distinguishing Calibration changes so for example the EGR fix if we turned it off using EFI Live and Blocked it there would be no reason to upgrade the OS.

Still a newbie here too. I got mine after I joined here. So Ive been at it about 2 months.

You should beable to change OS/Load OS. Have you registered it yet? I have the Demo loaded on my work machine now and its grayed out. But my laptop n home desktop are registered and have active buttons.

In my mind, OS is seperate from calibration/tunes. As I said before, the express van, camaro, corvette all use the same OS. But I know the camaro and express van are wired different and have different tunes.

Agree on both EGR and waiting tell later for new OS load.
