    Folks, sorry to say we will have to delay this release until mid next week.
    There's been no major drama's as such, we've spent a bit of time trying to get the new LML ECM to play nice (it isn't) and some issues with file permissions on XP machines that are still causing us some problems.
    Rather than rush something out for tonight (it's Friday here) we've decided to delay a few more days to be able to go over everything again to make sure it's all ok.
    In the meantime, I'll put some screen shots up of the read process at least.

    The first screen shot below shows the progress on the read of a 2011 E78 ECM. Notice the Auto Detect button? When that is pressed EFILive will attempt to determine what type of ECM and TCM (if fitted) is in the vehicle.
    As you can see there it found an E78 and a T43. If it can't figure it out then you can simply choose the ECM or TCM type from a drop down list, like V7 has now.
    So once you are happy with the ECM or TCM type you just choose to read either the ECM or TCM (can't do both at once) and press the Read button.
    We don't want to read both controllers at once because in some instances (eg, 6 speed Allison TCM) this would add a considerable amount of time to each read. In some cases you may not want to read the TCM.



    Once the read is finalised you are presented with a summary screen showing various details about the ECM (or TCM) you just read. This same data can also be viewed when a .ctd file is loaded back from disk.
    An E39 ECM is shown in the screen shot below.



    Again, sorry about the delay, but these things happen.

    You can download the full size screen shots of these pictures HERE and HERE.

    Cheers,
    Ross
