EFI Live VIN# reprogramming
EFI Live VIN# reprogramming I've had .V2 for a couple months and have just been scanning (so no reflashing) has taken place. One thing I noticed was that the PCM VIN# doesn't match the car's Vin#. I read in the tutorial that the PCM VIN# can be reflashed.
I just need a sanity check to ensure I don't waste an EFILive license by reprogramming the PCM VIN. When I go to the license manager it still shows that I have 2 available licenses (keep in mind I have not flashed anything, I've just registered the handheld, downloaded the existing tune from the car and have scanned). I want to reflash the PCM with the correct VIN#. How does EFILive handle the change in VIN#. Any help/pointers is much appreciated.

Is changing the VIN# considered a "flashing" process? I don't want to change the VIN#, thus using a license, and then later when I want to do a tuning flash have to use my second license because EFILive recognizes it as a new pcm due to the new VIN#..
What about finding your VIN #? I have a transplant from a 2002 Z in my '69. The guy wrote the VIN # in pencil on a piece of masking tape on the computer and the 1st five or so numbers are illegible. I went to set up my EFILIVE and that's kind of hard to do without a VIN #. Any way to retreive it? I sent it off to Speartech to have the wiring harness and computer modified to my application. Would they be able to help? I kind if need this in a hurry.

Verdad Gallardo Thanks for replying so fast. I just shot you an e-mail. I just looked at the VIN again and what i can make out starts with a G50... so coupled with the 1st 5 #'s all i'm missing is the next 2. So now it reads like this: 2G1FP__G5221505E0. Am i missing numbers or letters? I hope it's #'s. A lot less to guess.

Also even IF it did take a license you wouldn't have to re-license it again when you wanted to tune your vehicle. But like stated above use the scan tool to change the VIN and you will be good to go
