V1 cannot tune LBZ's or LMM's. So if your buddy has one of those a V1 will not work.

nope lb7's and one lly :D so is there any other big differences?

I will defer that question since I'm not the tuner of the family :eek: I know V1's require a license for each ECM and TCM where as the V2 1 license will do both ECM and TCM.

As far as actually tuning NO just can do lbz+ So if you ever plan on one I would get V2.
In the futre V2 will use a SD card to store tune,So you wont need to carry a laptop with you

V2 you can use to clear codes with out hooking up the laptop also


In the END V1 will:grd:

Updates / Features list:

Added tuning and scanning support for many new 2008/2009 E38, E67, T42 and T43 operating systems (click here for vehicle list). This also includes support for a number of Hybrid vehicles using the E67.

Added option to manually enter your own calibration verification numbers (CVN) for E40, E38, E67, T42 and T43 controllers (LBZ/LMM not supported). Workshops can now uniquely identify their own calibrations. This feature is only available to customers with a stream license for the target controller(s), those without a stream license cannot correct CVN's, this is done to help prevent fraudulent manufacturer warranty claims yet still allow workshops to quickly identfy if a tune has been altered. It is available via the new [CVN] tab page on the calibration details window in the EFILive Tuning Tool software.

Updated E38 & E67 bootloaders to stop the intermittent false 'flash failed' error at the end of a full reflash on 08+ vehicles.

Released the updated DSP5 LB7/LLY Diesel operating systems which allow tune switching from the V2 hardware or via a hardwire switch.

FlashScan V1 Workshop cables and FlashScan V2 cables with matching stream licenses can now transparently re-flash controllers with missing serial numbers.

Changed the following PIDs to use PSI instead of inHg:
- GM.EGRVAC
- GM.BARO
- GM.MANVAC
-GM.MAPBOOST_DMA

Script generation has been changed so that if an entire table is to be added to the script the coordinates are generated as “.” Instead of literal min/max column/row values. That prevents scripts failing when run against tunes with different axis labels.

A command line parameter of – (a single minus sign) will cause EFILive Tune Tool software to not attempt to load any pre-existing *.tun files. To use this option, you need to create a shortcut to the EFILive Tuning Tool software with a target of: EFIlive_Tune.exe –. (I.e. EFILive_Tune.exe<space><minus sign>)

Launch control spark retard PIDs added for Lingenfelter LNC-002 launch controller. PIDs are called:
- CALC.LNC002_1
- CALC.LNC002_2

Added F.A.S.T. wide band O2 analog PIDs. PIDs are called:
- CALC.AFR_F1
- CALC.BEN_F1
- CALC.AFR_F2
- CALC.BEN_F2
- CALC.BEN_F1_B
- CALC.BEN_F2_B
- CALC.BEN_F1_E38
- CALC.BEN_F2_E38

Added two new SAE PIDs called:
- SAE.FUELTYPE: Fuel type
- SAE.E85R: Ethanol Fuel Percentage

I think that day has already come, atleast for the LB7/LLY guys;)
