all you got was the software? no cable? If so you got ripped off... the software is available for download for free on autotap.com ... but it's useless w/out the autotap cable...
if you got the cable and the software, I believe you can download the instruction manual from autotap.com ... as for how to use it... it's a troubleshooting tool... you can pull codes, watch your O2s, see how much timing you're getting, see how much Knock Retard you're getting

^^^ what he said
the software is free here:
http://www.autotap.com/downloads.html
You're paying for the cable more so than the software... as for cable price, it's on autotap.com ...
200 bux for the cable, and an extra 100 for the GM Enhanced Parameters (which you really need .. you can't even scan Knock Retard w/out them) so 300 bux for the cable new... unless you can find a used one for sale (they are becoming a popular used item now... w/HP Tuners providing a scanner and tuning software in 1 for 500 bux, many have sold their autotap cables and just use HPT)

https://ls1tech.com/forums/search.php?searchid=722195 (that should work... just a search of the parts for sale section looking for autotap)
Basically just watch the for sale section, maybe post in the parts wanted section
Make sure whatever you get has enhanced parameters... if you can get a Version 2 cable it's better (faster than version 1 cables)

you have to buy the whole package because right now you don't have anything... the software is worth exactly 0.00 ... when you buy the cable it comes w/the software... so you need to buy the basic cable and the upgrade fee for the enhanced parameters ... i'm 95% sure that this functionality is cable based and not software (or something in the cable tells the software that it can be used w/enhanced parameters)
I'd go back to your friend and ask for your 20 bux back , then buy an autotap used or new .. Basically autotap sells the cable and gives you the software (unless you go the EFI Live route, then that's an additional software upgrade)
