"A joint venture between EFILive, Starr Performance and PCMTECH is producing new and exciting products to complement our existing EFILive Scan Tool range. When asked, most customers indicated that they wanted wide-band O2 integrated scanning, black-box data logging, and reflash/tuning capabilities. We are pleased to announce FlashScan, EFILive’s fully integrated scanner, and PCM reflashing/tuning interface cable.

To design and build FlashScan, EFILive enlisted the expertise of Starr Performance and PCMTECH. Starr Performance, one of the leading LS1 aftermarket performance companies in Australia, provides the performance tuning skills to ensure that the tuning process is “best of breed”. PCMTECH, a high-tech, PCM customisation shop, designed the FlashScan interface to allow high-speed logging and reflashing of the PCM.

The new FlashScan interface is compatible with the EFILive V6 Scan Tool. It supports all of EFILive’s high-performance features including fast data logging and bi-directional controls.

FlashScan has a built-in, A/D converter that integrates wide-band O2 data directly into EFILive’s logged data stream. Actually, the A/D convertor can be used to log any analog voltage up to 5 volts.

The FlashScan interface is not a replacement for a wide-band O2 controller. The A/D input on the FlashScan interface only accepts a linear, analogue voltage output by most wide-band O2 controllers.

FlashScan can be used as a stand-alone black box data logger (no laptop required). Now you can record a race lap, or a dragstrip pass without carrying an expensive laptop in your vehicle.

You can log up to 6 minutes of high-speed data, that's up to 24 PIDs at 10 frames per second.

Slower logging rates or less PIDs mean longer logging times.

FlashScan is compatible with the upcoming EFILive Tuning Tool to reflash the PCM.

That means when the EFILive Tuning Tool is released it will function with your existing FlashScan interface cable.

EFIlive's new FlashScan interface has the same form-factor and is pin-compatible with the existing AutoTap cables used by EFILive.

Professionally designed using state of the art software and manufactured using surface mount components, the FlashScan interface meets the high quality standards of the EFILive product range.

Because everything works via the same cable, the new EFILive Scan and Tuning Tools will offer better value for money than stand-alone products.

Existing EFILive customers will enjoy low cost upgrade options from the EFILive Scan Tool to the EFILive FlashScan System, making it the most cost effective way to start tuning your own vehicle.

The EFILive Scan Tool will continue to be sold as the premier scan tool for LS1/LS6 using B&B Electronics AutoTap interface cable.

Delivery dates and final pricing are not yet available.

"

so i have EFI live version 5.2 with bidirectional controls (havent updated to 6.0 yet, should do that soon)
now when they release the new software, with me upgrading to that i can start tunning right?
trying to get all the info on it.
can i purchase there

 

They have announced the hardware (cable w/
standalone logging) but still are not putting any
dates or specs out on the software. You can get
your current version up-to-date (6.2x?) but there
will be an indeterminate wait to get to programming.
(talk about a mule race... now we have three
tuning program developments with telescoping
release dates. Who keeps on moving that finish line?).

 

I'm very interested to see how this turns out...

 

I'm extremely anxious to get my grubby little paws on this. EFILive is hands down the best scanner software I have used, so I'm confident the tuning package will not disappoint either. Paul is one heck of a coder
