FS: Autotap/EFI live!! I have a Autotap model AT1 which includes the autotap software version 2.04, Palm Version 3.00 and has EFILive V5 version 5.26.8, build 454. The unit has Bi-directional control which allows you to adjust some parameters to see the effects when on a dyno, etc. I purchased this a couple of months ago and just don't have the time to play with it. I don't know that much about it, so maybe someone else can chime in if there are related questions. This also includes a serial to usb adapter for the newer laptops. Software is not pictured but is included! This retailed new for around $479.99. Asking $275 shipped!
Here's some info!
EFI LIVE V5 Scan Tool
with Bi-Directional Controls
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autotap for Windows
The AutoTap scan tool connects the special OBD II plug-in-port on or under the dash of your car or light truck to your computer. The AutoTap scanner then translates the signals from your vehicle’s computer-controlled sensors to easy-to-read visual displays.
Did you know that your car provides data for hundreds of sensor readings? Just choose which of these parameters you want to see and whether you want to view them in tables or as graphs, meters or gauges. Set your own ranges and alarms and even pick your own colors! Once you've got a screen configuration that works for you, save it with a couple of keystrokes. Save as many different screen configurations as you need... for different vehicles, or perhaps one for major maintenance, one for tuning, one for quick checks at the track. Now you’ve got a powerful tool!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Bi-directional control?
Bi-directional control gives you the ability to make temporary changes to your car's computer. Once you unplug the EFI Live Scanner/Tuner from your car's OBD II connection then your car will revert back to it's original settings. It is not intended to be used to alter your car's computer to run a quarter mile. The computer may not be able to compensate for the rapid changes in rpm. It is more intended for aiding you in finding the right tune for your car on a chassis dyno.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Track quick-changing parameters like RPM and O2 Sensor readings at rates up to 40 times a second. View your results in English or Metric
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Log a dyno or track run with AutoTap’s proprietary data logging feature. Then replay the file to review your vehicle’s performance; transfer it to a spreadsheet for analysis; or email it to a friend to compare your performance to his.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn off the Check Engine light. Did you know something as simple as a loose gas cap can make your trouble light come on? Use the AutoTap scanner to retrieve trouble codes and their descriptions and reset your Check Engine light. You might just save big bucks by avoiding a trip to the dealer!
Cool new graphics.
Choose from multiple authentic gauge styles.
New, highly configurable screens for viewing an unlimited number of gauges, graphs and meters all on the same screen.
Customize graphs and gauges with your own color selections.
Add tables, graphs and gauges on the same screen.
Configure and save screens while not connected to your vehicle.
Updates parameters faster than version 1.x software
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Track quick-changing parameters like RPM and O2 Sensor readings at rates up to 20 times a second. View your results in English or Metric.
Log a dyno or track run with AutoTap’s proprietary data logging feature. A quick HotSync with your PC allows you to replay the file and review your vehicle’s performance; transfer it to a spreadsheet for analysis; or email it to a friend to compare your performance to his.

You may configure your own scale so that the PID is displayed in the units of your choice.
Adjustable maximum and minimum display values.
Adjustable maximum and minimum alarm values.
You can even change the name of the PID to something more meaningful.
Export data to Excel
Select which PIDs you want to export.
Decide if you want to export column headers containing the PID name and units.
Choose to export raw or scaled values
Choose to export frame counter and frame timestamp.
Customer/vehicle database
Record customer contact details.
Record vehicle modifications.
Customer details are automatically displayed when a vehicle with a matching VIN is detected.
Customer name and vehicle registration are embedded in the log file name.
Vehicle modifications are embedded into each log file.
Controls
Idle speed - Sets the idle speed to an rpm value in the range 0-2040 rpm.
IAC - Sets the idle air control pintle position to a step value in the range 0-127
Gear - Sets and holds the currently selected gear to one of
First
Second
Third
Drive
Injector Off - Allows the operator to perform an injector balance test by selectively turning off individual injectors. Only one injector will be turned off at any time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switches
M.I.L. - Illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp. This feature is not available on some vehicles.
Shift skip - Illuminates the Shift Skip lamp where fitted. This feature is not available on some vehicles.
CC inhibit - Inhibits the cruise control from operating.
A/C clutch - Turns the Air Conditioner compressor clutch on or off.
Fan 1 - Turns on low speed thermo electric engine fan(s).
Fan 2 - Turns on high speed thermo electric engine fan(s).
Lift/Dive - Turns Lift/Dive compensation on or off.
A.I.R. sol - Turns the Air Injection Reaction solenoid on or off.
A.I.R. pump - Turns the Air Injection Reaction pump on or off.
Fuel pump - Turns the fuel pump on or off.
Fuel learn - Turns fuel learn mode on or off.
Closed loop - Sets fuel mode to open or closed loop.
Rev lockout - Turns reverse lockout on or off - manual gearboxes only.
TCC - Engages or disengages the Torque Converter Clutch - automatic gearboxes only.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modes
Use spark map - Overrides the PCM's normal spark advance by substituting the values found in the currently loaded spark map.
Use fuel map - Overrides the PCM's normal air fuel ratio by substituting the values found in the currently loaded fuel map.
Evap service bay test - Puts the PCM into a mode that allows evaporative emission controls to be tested.
Fuel trim reset - Resets the learned fuel trims.
Tooth error learn mode - Puts the PCM into a mode where it can learn the crank tooth error correction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I override two or more controls at the same time?
Yes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can overrides be used at the track or strip?
Depending on the number of overrides, the update frequency is between 5-10 times per second, which is not fast enough for racetrack or drag strip use. The spark and fuel settings would lag actual conditions by up to 1/2 a second.
The Spark and fuel maps are designed for altering only one or two parameters under the controlled conditions of a dynamometer - not for a 10 second blast down the 1/4 mile.

Bump! IS this too high guys? I figured this would be a pretty good price since this complete package retails for $479.99. Let me know what a good asking price is for this!
