BBL installer update: June 12, 2008

Ok, that seems to work everywhere except when viewing the Select PID List menu...

The Select PID List menu shows one of F1, F2, F3, F4 next to four menu items...
pressing ctrl+Fn or Fn doesn't seem to do anything while on this menu...
but, the usual method of highlighting a PID list and pressing OK works.

Oh I see, the hot keys only work while you are in a menu.

The point is to power up FlashScan, then press Ctrl+F1 (or 2 or 3 or 4), then press the start logging button (the zero key). So you can start logging in 2 keystrokes.

Not wanting to "mess this up" I am running V2.05.08 (0426) & 2.05.17 (0519) which are not mentioned above. Should I be changing "back" to the ones mentioned above before installing V7.5.4 & V8.1.1? HELP!!!

No don't go backwards. I you have boot block V2.05.08 (i.e. the most up to date boot block release), then all you need to do is program in the latest V2.05.17(0612) firmware, using EFIlive_Explorer.

No issues updating boot and installing new PC software. However Vista has issues with EFI Explorer and Hapi writing to the ini files they try to update stored under Program files\efilive. I had to give the folder write priviledges for the regular user group.

Ah, ok, the original intent is power up, Ctrl+F1, Zero.

Under the PIDs tab I open TEST-CAT.pid, and when I goto the MAP tab nothing has changed.

Using those two files, it all works as expected on my WinXP system here.

I put TEST-CAT.pid in the folder: \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\PIDs
I put TEST-CAT.mls in the folder: \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\MAPs
I started the Scan Tool, selected the PIDs tab page and opened the TEST-CAT.pid file.
The four maps specified in the TEST-CAT.mls file loaded into maps A thru D correctly.

There must be some configuration difference.
Exit from all EFILive software, then delete the reg key:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive\V7.5\Properti es\Map
Then restart the Scan software and load the TEST-CAT.PID file.

Yes that is the case. I am still figuring out the best way to try and avoid that issue. There are a number of options each with their own problems.

Ok, I did that and now it works, thanks.

I must be doing something really wrong because I did all of the above and it still does not work for me. I've never been able to get this to work.

Switchable tunes for E38 ?!

Yes, well, more like switchable options, more details soon. Paul's new car has been a test rig, even causing embarrassment on the freeway when he forgot he'd switched it to valet mode.

I noticed the "Switch.ini" file info is now at the bottom of the "options.ini". Any word on when we'll be able to use the V2 to switch tunes? Any chance we'll be able to use the V2 to enable "valet" mode?

Yes you could if you set up one of your tunes as a Valet mode. At this stage it will only switch your DSP tunes.

Install went well.

Still having a problem with the T42 upshift base pressure tables D8101 and D8201. D8301 is working properly. Both metric and imperial units show 90psi/620kPa.

What OS is that Justin?, or all of them?

Quickly found these three working improperly:
