If you are talking about the Auto Cal I have one. You have to get one from a tuner who loads it with the tunes you want. Then you upload it to your truck.

It has to be matched to a a standard EFI V2. It can log and you can send that to your tuner for him to tweak your tune.

If you aren't interested in learning how to tune but want EFI them this is a good tool to have.

So these Spade-tuner deals are simply like a PPE or Quad or Predator tuner? Download and go? Why would someone want canned EFI tunes? That defeats the purpose of buying EFILive in the first place, doesnt it?

The Auto Cal plugs into the obdII port and you upload like the PPE. I have the DSP5 and I just get a DSP5 tune from Dustin and upload it.

I don't know enough about tuneing and didn't want to screw it up. I have had him send me an updated tune by email and I just load it to the Auto Cal the load it on the truck.

It will log so if I need an adjustment I log it and send it to Dustin for him to look at.

Do you need a laptop with the auto cal?

No you do not need a laptop but it will only do a full flash on the LBZ and LMM operating systems.

what that means is if you have a LB7 or a LLY you can only load one tune in the truck at a time.So if you wanted to switch tunes you would have to stop and load another tune in.

For the LBZ and Lmm you can do a full dsp5 flash just like the v2.
We have been selling some but For the extra money the v2 is still the best option.

If you have any more questions give me a call.

I'm pretty sure the "spade" is just what Duramax-tuner calls the autocal. They are the same thing he just named his something different.

Sorry I can't remember the price but it does cost less than the full V2.
Yes you get 5 tunes that are switchable on the fly. I'm happy with the AutoCal.

So am I correct in my understanding. It comes with 5 tunes you can just plug this Autocal into your obdII port and pick the tune you want and load it? So is the autocal acting somewhat like a dsp5 switch? I'm interested in this being a cheaper alternative to the V2 and dsp5 tune. Especially since I won't be making my own tunes, and like the on the fly load It and go set up. Last question, can the tunes get emailed or used just like the V2?

No the AutoCal is just a way of loading the DSP5 tune. It also will read and clear codes and datalog. It was meant to be a tool for tuners to send a tune to a customer for them to upload to their truck. You can log a run with it and send it to your tuner so he can make adjustments to your tune. It has to be linked to a V2 for it to work.

Sorry for the confusion.
