Scott,
The software is free and is available from the EFILive website.
Do not let anyone sell you the software.
You have to buy the cable/hardware, your choices are:
- scan only: AutoTap or EFILive ScanOnly.
- tuning: EFILive Scan&Tune.
Be aware of this:
EFILive has two interfaces:
- V1 is the older one,
- V2 is the newer one.
Anyone who has a V1 may opt to apply the V1 purchase toward an upgrade purchase of a V2... however, when this has be done, the V1 can no longer have new PCM licenses added to it (i.e. it must have 1 unused license on it to be of any value as a flashing tool on your car; if all the licenses have been used up, then it won't be able to flash your car)...
If someone tries to sell you a V1, first get it's serial number and contact EFILive to find out if it has already been used in a V1->V2 upgrade, and then get the seller to show you how many unused licenses it has remaining.
When in doubt, contact EFILive (goto EFILive website and see Contact Us).
