I recently purchased a new V2 and an Autocal so I could flash a customers LML Duramax. I don't have intentions of doing any "tuning" myself on this particular truck, I just want to be able to get him the power he wants. He was also having some driveability issues so I was thinking that the Autocal would be a handy tool to have so he could data log if/when the truck started acting up. I purchased a set of tunes via email but have run into a few issues. I assume I am missing something or skipping a step or making some other rookie mistake. Any guidance is appreciated.
I have followed the instructions provided for installing and updating the latest EFI Live software, checking boot block, updating firmware, downloading the provided BBX settings, formated and configured everything listed. The V2 has 3 licenses left (one used on this truck) and the Autocal is showing none used and 1 license available. I am able to link the V2 and Autocal. When I link them the license numbers match.
With Explorer open and the Autocal selected, I am unable to drag and drop the tune files into the large box on the bottom right of the screen. I get a "This file is not licensed for this Autocal" warning. With the V2 selected I can drag all tunes into the lower right box. Most of the tunes are .coz files, 1 is a .ctz file. The .ctz file is the only one I've been able to actually load into the truck via the V2.
When I open Scan and Tune and click F3, I am not able to "Auto Detect" the controller. I know the LML is different than most so I'm not sure if this is normal for this Bosch ECM or if it's an indicator that I'm doing something wrong. Also, when I click F3 and select "Open" it only shows the one .ctz tune (stocklLML w/ 35" tires). The other tunes show that they load in Explorer but don't show up in Scan and Tune.
I was first told by the shop I got the tunes from that since they emailed the tunes I wouldn't be able to load the tunes onto and Autocal and that I'd have to just use the V2 in pass-through mode to get the tunes onto the truck. The next day I was told "as long and the Autocal has a license I should be able to drag and drop tunes onto it". My questions are:
1 - Why can't I get these tunes onto the Autocal
2 - Why I am only able to load the "stock LML w/ 35" tires" tune via the V2 and not any of the other tunes?
Thanks for reading this, hopefully it makes sense!
