LS1Edit compatible - V 1.05 and 1.5? I just purchased Version 1.5 of LS1Edit. This was a $50 upgrade from my original purchase of Version 1.05 that is about 3 year old.
Question: Are these two versions completely compatible?
Q2: Will I have issues if I try to modify a flash file with Version 1.5 that was originally modified by Version 1.05?
Q3: Is is saftest to just download the current stock file from my PCM using Version 1.5 and work (modify) only from that file?
Q4: Is the crappie documentation (tuning directions) still crappie?

should have no issues , if anything I believe it's safer now because they finally added a Partial write (like what HP Tuners has used from the beginning)
I would get a fresh download from the PCM though... and use that as the base... your 1.05 files should work just fine, but were it me i'd start w/a fresh read
not sure about the documentation... but I'm guessing it's about on par w/the beta version of their scanner

I'm reading the documetation (instructions) now. Who wrote this piece of garbage? ...totally useless!
Now that you mention the Beta scanner issue, I will ask another question or two
Q1. Does the Beta scanner attach to Version 1.5 or does it operate as a stand alone tool?
Q2. Can the scanner monitor LTrims for the purpose of tuning fuel and spark advance?

It is a standalone item ... works w/the LS1 Edit cable (if you have another scanner... it's probably much better than the beta LS1 Edit has... it's been the same file since I downloaded it back in December 04)
Not sure what it can scan though... I think it's pretty limited

OK - thanks.
GM replaced my PCM so the file currently loaded in my PCM is 100% stock. This is why I prefer to use an older Edit file that has the mods I was using before my PCM went bad.
I tried to make notes to document all changes but the space is limited.

You will have to do a read on the new pcm, as it will have a different segment code (or something like that) than the original. Trying to flash it with your old file probably would not work.

well, with HPtuners, what you would do, is flash the entire PCM with the older bin file you have... not just the data areas but the whole thing.
how to do that in LS1edit, i donno....
