315 ET Streets will hopefully help a little.

Support for the previous EEC vehicles will come after they have released support for the Powerpc vehicles (05+ models). No time frame yet, but I would imagine it would be late this year or early next year. New software updates are usually released every few months (the next is currently in beta testing now). The next update will expand the Powerpc supported vehicles list and 08 GM pcms.
