Default efi live down load help

I just bought a G8 and was looking to mess with my Tune a bit. I went to download it and was wondering what operating system I select? Anyone got an idea.

That would be an E38 controller if thats what you are looking for.

Okay, this seems to have downloaded just fine but it doesn't give me any transmission options. Anyone know how I can get the transmission tuned with an EFI live?

You have to read the TCM, these cars have a separate transmission controller. I think it just says '6 speed TCM' on the drop down list.

You will need to select the controller for your TCM like you did for your PCM,
if it is supported by EFILive.

Thanks guys, it was labeled 6 speed transmission and downloaded with no problems. The car actually shifts like it wants to go fast now.
