2008 Cobolt SS support

[GMPX]

We already have some well established markets that we pretty much spend 90% of our R&D time on with ongoing enhancements and keeping up with GM's update rate (look at the 2009 CTS-V, 3 new OS's already!!).

Not only that, to aid in getting the all new version 8 tuner/scanner to market we have stopped trying to add more to the V7 platform. Knowing the 'fun' we had getting the Bosch Diesel ECM to work in V7 I am sure the E69 ECM would suffer many of the same 'Boschisms' to make life hard. Actually, I was told the new E69's can't be read out!

Chuck, no harm in trying to read it, a man has to live in hope. Though doing so reminds me of those sci-fi movies where they hook a laptop up to the Alien space craft and upload a virus to the Alien space ship computer system, of course it's that easy to do

Cheers,
Ross

That "virus uploading" Apple laptop originated from the 1947 Roswell crash remains (so compatibility was not an issue)...

OK then Ross...., But if the economy doesn't improve quickly.....

And all those new 17 year old customers with the punky hair doos and over sized pants start showing up to have their 09 Cobalt SS's tuned......AND EFI LIVE doesn't have coverage......

You can expect me not to be happy.

Next thing you know, GM's gonna find out EFI LIVE refused to offer coverage for the Cobalt SS and they're gonna put the COBALT SS COMPUTER in the 2010 CAMARO!!!

What if?

Saying a computer looks the same as the other so it should work is like looking at a 5.3L and saying, oh yeah, those 7.0L pistons will fit, no problem. I mean, they look the same on the outside.

I have an insode source at GM that does the support for the LNF drift cars and he says good luck trying to find software. All of the stuff he has is in German, and he works for GM!!!!!

Thats correct, most of the calibration development was actually done by bosch with input from GM. It's not the normal scenario where GM does everything; its a PITA.

Well... at my shop there is a guy that gets in on most of bosch's pcm.. I have yet to have a customer with an 09 to check if he can read teh cal or not.

Yes, but you'll still have to deal with the curmudgeons and their damn HHR's
