● New option to force all lock/unlock key entry fields to display like passwords without revealing the value of the key. Useful for when you are controlling a customer’s PC via a remote login and need to enter a key that is not supposed to be revealed to the customer. This option is on by default but can be switched off using Edit->Properties->[Options]->”Display lock/unlock key entry fields with a password mask.”.
● Added/Updated DTC descriptions for GM type “P” trouble codes.
● When upgrading to a DSP5 custom OS and the tune file requires saving, then after the file has been saved it is upgraded to DSP2 instead of DSP5 without warning.
● When Black
Box Logging PIDs from an ECM and TCM simultaneously and a PID is selected from
the transmission controller (TCM) that has an identically named PID in the
engine controller (ECM), (i.e. RPM) then when the log file is opened in the V8
software for viewing, the TCM PID will be displayed as if it originated from
the ECM. The PID's data will have correctly been logged from the TCM, only its
name will appear to indicate that it was logged from the ECM.
Workaround: None. It is a restriction of the *.efi (V7.5 log file format). That
restriction will be removed and the TCM PIDs will display their true origin
once the V8 scan tool software is available.
● New option to force all lock/unlock key entry fields to display like passwords without revealing the value of the key. Useful for when you are controlling a customer’s PC via a remote login and need to enter a key that is not supposed to be revealed to the customer. This option is on by default but can be switched off using Edit->Properties->Tuning Tool->Read/Flash->”Display lock/unlock key entry fields with a password mask.”
● Various remote options can now be embedded in a *.ctz or *.coz tune file which will be used to control remote Black Box Flashing, they are ignored during pass-thu flashing. The remote options are available on the [F3: Tune]->[F4: Properties]->[Remote] tab page:
o
[Set Key] which will ask you to enter a key to be used
to unlock the remote controller.
[Clear Key] which will remove the key from the file.
The key is encrypted before being stored in the file.
o Try Alt Keys which forces FlashScan/AutoCal to try additional known keys to unlock the controller.
o Assume Lock May Be Faulty which forces FlashScan/AutoCal to attempt to unlock the controller even if a lock is not detected.
o High Speed (VPW Only) which will attempt to flash the controller using high speed mode (the default value for this option is “checked”).
● The remote options listed above can be managed for BBX Quick Setup files in the “Quick Setup Properties” window, available via the Quick Setup right-click menu option: “Quick Setup Properties”.
● Adding/removing BBX controllers in the [F5: BBX] tab page now works more intuitively.
● [F8: Tools]->[F2 Search] option now also looks in *.bbx files when searching for tune files.
● [F8: Tools]->[F7 Copy] option can be used to do bulk *.ctz -> *.coz conversions.
● Dragging *.bbx or *.txt files onto the EFILive V8 software now opens that file. Currently the only text files that are supported are the BBX options text files.
● Scan Tool playback now plays back correctly at any zoom factor. Previously the playback automatically zoomed to 1:1 before playing back.
● Full screen mode has been enhanced to allow either the [F4: Charts] or the [F5: Gauges] tab pages to be displayed in full-screen mode. Press F10 to show the charts in full-screen mode, press F11 to show the gauges in full-screen. Press Esc to cancel full-screen.

● Swapping controller selections in the [F2: Scan] tab page from a PCM controller to an ECM controller could cause an “Access Violation”.
