BBL installer update: June 22, 2008

[Blacky]

Few questions: There are modifications being made to the tune switching part of the V2 firmware... When will the actual OS be available that it'll work with?

Soon, the E38 switchable tunes are being road tested now. Works well

Also, with the 5 speed and 6 speed Allison calibration update, where any tables added or changed?

You'd need to ask Ross what he changed/updated (i.e. send a pm to GMPX).

One more... In the BBL PID TSTATE16, are there any more sub-PIDs? Shouldn't there be adapt cells for all the shifts (N-R, R-N, N-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, {5-6, 6-5}*, 5-4, 4-3, 3-2, 2-1, 1-N)?

Yes, there's a bunch more PID data for the Allison that we have not added into the Scan Tool yet.

I installed from the files... I did it again and now they both say build 63... I don't know what happened...

Same here, I had to install the files posted, the auto update did not bring me up do build 63 and I had 20 calibrations less

The auto update is only configured to update the V8.1 software (EFILive_Hapi and EFILive_Explorer). The V7.5.4 software will be added to the auto update next week. For now you have to manually download the V7.5.4 update and install it that way.

Ok thanks Paul

I was wondering if it would be better to have the PID list associated VIN numbers instead of booting to a default PID list. For example, when the V2 detected it was connected to a previous vehicle, it could recall which one it used. The only issue I could see with this is if you tune a whole bunch of vehicles, but maybe limiting the number of vehicles in this cache would work?

Its a good solution and that's sort of what the laptop based scan tool software does. But for performance reasons and size restrictions it is not so easy to do on the handheld unit. Keep the ideas coming...

most PIDs don`t have an explanation when right clicking them.
was this always the case?
i never noticed how many had info about how they worked before
but now it seems like 90% don`t have any details on how they work.

In the \Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\configuration folder you'll see a bunch of *.rtf files with names starting with "PID_". Each of those files corresponds to a PID that has a description. We will eventually document as many PIDs as we can.

Where you see a filename in angle brackets like this: <copyright.rtf> that just means that file will be included by EFILive in the displayed info.

Im having trouble with the V2 needing to be rebooted after logging to let it flash an E38 ECM each time.
