It will work with the latest EFILive V7 software as a scantool/logger... but you will have to request a software license (free).
If you want to tune you will need the FlashScan V1 or V2 interface... I don't think V1 is still available... V2 is very capable, it even allows you to keep your laptop at home (i.e. no need to bring laptop to car).

I'm not aware of any current AutoTap->FlashScan upgrade, but you can ask about it when you contact them.
Goto the EFILive home page (www dot efilive dot com) and click Contact Us.

I asked that question a while back and was told there is not an upgrade or reduced cost for upgrading to the newer stuff. Oh well... Was worth a shot. Will you post back if you have better luck?
