    I don't know if this is the problem, but after you updated did you format the 'Config File' folder on the V2 and then copy the 'Options.txt' and '.pmm' files from here "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EFILive\V8\Config" onto the V2?

    Take off the checkmark on the SUPPORTED box...you should see what you are needing at that point.
    I know I ran into a very similiar issue as you and wondered why it was an UNSUPPORTED pid, but when I activated it then it worked. Wierd.

    I got the PIDS working but still serial WB reading. It just says controller not found.

    Problem sorted after emails and some digging, I didnt realize I had to Copy the new Config files in explorer and then re-configure the V2 to read My wide band!! When I do an update I dont expect these dramas as I am only an engine tuner...not a computer expert!!
    This was helpfull

    It was damn frustrating but my problem was A new Computer and without a legit VIN it limits the pids you can use, once I loaded a legit vin the Pids I needed came back, My situation with boats means that I will quite often use new PCMs or ones that didnt come off the motor im tuning.
    Selecting supported pids shows the pids that can be used and removes the others correct??

    I will say that the support with EFI Live is good as Paul had me on track in short time and it always goes wrong right when you are in the middle of it!!

    But I think you programmers sometimes assume us engine tuners are computer experts (and some are)when we are not.....and we speak a different language sometimes,

    First off I just want to say good job on getting it working. As long as you got it to work and learned from it then the goal was met.

    Selecting the supported pid...
    This was not entirely true, I had a pid that showed it was unsupported, but when I activated it then it started to do its job. I could have been wrong somehow, but if I would have known about this it might have saved me the hours of frustration. I owe it to Sspdmon for helping me out on my situation.

    Anyway, back to tuning.

    Mike
