You have to get the authenticate code from the V2 and the serial number the go to EFIlive.com and go to products and look for v2 licens. Not sure on the driver deal.

Once you download the latest software don't forget to plug in your V2 to your computer and update the firmware.
how is this done?
lol looks like i need a quick "getting started" walk through as i have no instruction that came with it...

Have the v2 plugged into the computer. Open EFI live tune tool, open help, pick flashscan v2/ autocal vin licensing, lower left click on authenticate and it will have the code you need. This same menu is where you put the code they give you to unlock another vin

You need to pull your tune out first and maybe compare operating systems. It is the green arrow at the top for reading the stock tune and the red single for regular flash and double red for full flash(upgrade to dsp2 or dsp5)

so obviously unhook the gay edge juice, hook the flash scan up and pull the tune (on the handheld probably go to tune tool?)
then click the green arrow to pull the stock tune?

then what?


tried to pull stock tune, handheld says "options, txt not found" ?

While on topic, I bought a truck with efi already on it and was wondering which direction I need to go to start my own tuning,not familiar with it at all if anyone could contact me and help me in any way. I don't get on very often so if you could call I would appreciate it 585-610-0204 thanks Dustin
