The V7 software is free, anyone can download it.
But to actually talk to your VY GenIII you will need the V1 (or V2) hardware. The data bus on the V8's is totally different to what your VR used.

I found a post by blacky where he suggests trying the vehicle definition 'gmh-vt8-ls1.xml'
I tried that and got some data coming through. I'm thinking someone may have added to this definition? Also, what does the FlashScan do? Is it just a protocol converter? If so, why can't this be done in software?
This is only the data that is shared with the instrument cluster, BCM etc, it's only about 10% of the data the PCM will give you on the VPW Class2 bus that the V4 won't communicate on but Flashscan V1 does.Originally Posted by johnnyk
In 'simple' terms it is a protocol converter, the timers on the PC ports are not accurate enough to communicate on the VPW Class2 bus directly, plus it has non standard voltage levels. Flashscan V1 contains a chip specifically designed to communicate on the VPW bus, that is then translated to USB.

Thanks Ross, all making sense now
Other than FlashScan, what other interfaces does efi live V7 support?
AutoTap V2 (AT1 and AT123 serial) and AutoTap V3 (ATU USB)Thanks Ross, all making sense now

However, AutoTap interfaces are only used by EFILive for scanning - not for tuning.

Hi guys, has there been any progress on getting scanning ability for the vt-vy model 6 banger's?
probably low on your list, but all i'd really like is the ability to see fault code dtc's etc and check o2 voltages. just the basic stuff to see why a car would have problems with surging at cruise. i.e map, timing, tps.
EFILive V4 will scan, log and show DTCs for V6 and V8 Holden engine Commodores up to VT series 1 correction: up to VY.

yeah, but can i use the v2 hardware though?
Not yet. That option will be added as part of the V8 scan software. Which will happen once the standalone reading/flashing is complete.

Hummmm
This sounds very interesting as I just purchased a VY V6 for my partner, cough (for me to play with!). Especially if some of the current features in the scan tool software are available.
The VX and VY V6 N/A PCM's are a flash type PCM, just wondering if you have given any thought to supporting the read and write to these PCM's as there just a little old am29f010b-120je PLCC32....I have been giving it plenty of thought of late. I really like the thought of a S/C on these models and I see many of them in the pro tuner shops. I see there are custom operating systems available for the L67 option.
Currently I'm putting together a definition template for tuning these little puppies, very ugly looking MAF code I must say with over 1600 parameters. No wonder GM did a right turn after this model.
Also looking at PLCC 32 emulation which will get me around the read and write via aldl. There might be some future for the LT1 guys in this as well.
When time comes, I would love to test this out for you guys if possible.
Hummmmm very interesting.
Cheers

Rev it up, Drop the clutch, See what happens?
