Alright i know this subject has been beat to death but i just wanted to see if there were any recent updates on the DSP5 switch being availiable for the LBZ. Or if will ever be. Being able to switch tunes through the DSP5 thing( sorry if im not stating soemthing right, dont know all the correct terms)would be much nicer than switching via the actual handheld device and SD card. Any news on this id like to hear.

Thanks, James

They haven't told me shit. I'm sick of waiting. Pat has an idea of something that may work and I am giving him 110% of my attention to get this to happen. As soon as it does, EVERYONE will know!!

either way you have to hook up the PPE and install a dif tune. So whats the big deal. You have to bring your laptop along. How often do you change anyways..... The only thing that would be sweet is having the option like the LB7 LLY guys. Having the DSP. So I can go from tune to kill with a turn of the knob. B/c it never fails when i pull up next to someone trying to race and Im only running a small tow tune. Which still gives them a run for their money. Would love to be able to have the big tune with a turn of the knob. To bad they cant have something that plugs into the OBDII at all times and uses the knob. I would pay some extra money for that to be an option

The reason that switchable tuning is not yet available for LBZ's is because it will require a full FLash not a calibration flash.

The only reason LB7/LLY ecms have switching is because Ross and Paul wrote custom OS's for all the different years from 2001-2005.

Until they figure out the full flashing then it will be the same way it is now.

Beleive me, they have figured out everything else, I am confident that if they can figure out the full flash all LBZ/LMM owners will get the DSP-X switching.

It still may have to be done with the V2 unit.

according to cindy at efi live, the bosch controllers dont have the spare terminals to create the circuit needed to run the switch like the older ecms. thus the switching via v2. maybe down the line they will have a nice little switch box that plugs into your aldl and controls the tunes like the dsp instead of having to use the v2 all the time.
 
LBZ/LMM switchable tuning is in development. Unfortunately so are many other features that also consume development time including a bunch of updated OS's and all of the 2009 OS's that have just been released. In the coming weeks Ross will add support for another 20 or so OS's.

At this stage Ross and Paul have 90% completed LBZ/LMM full flashing. Their biggest hurdle is that they live on different continents and getting them together is difficult due to their other development projects. The switchable part of the puzzle is now solved with the release of switching via V2 for LB7 and LLY. Unfortunately there is no suitable pin on the LBZ/LMM ECM to hardwire a switch, so you will need to switch via V2 when it's released.

Once full flashing is done, then Ross can work on the custom OS mapping for development. This will then move into testing. How long this process takes depends on lots of factors. However, once the test OS is finalised, it could be another month or 2 (or more) to port the development over to each OS used for LBZ/LMM - development isn't a simple process.

Cheers

I know nothing about elctronics so this may be a dumb question. but could use mabey a pin the would go to like the dpf controlls or something for those of us tht no longer have those ?

Man i was really hopin for a switch to be available. Im not trying to complain because you guys work hard and have alot to do but a DSP5 switch wouldve been amazing.
