Introduction

What is EFILive?

EFILive is tuning software and hardware - it is not a tune. Together the software

and hardware give users the tools to write tunes. EFILive does not provide tune

files, tuning advice or support, but do provide software support and hardware

support.

Software Version Overview

This version of the GM Quick Start Guide migrates all processes to EFILive V8

Scan and Tune software. Functionality is still available in V7.5 software, however

software support and bug fixes will cease in 2021.

This document was written using the following software versions:

1. EFILive V8.3.7.

2. FlashScan V3 / AutoCal V3 Firmware –V3.00.064.

3. FlashScan V2 / AutoCal V2 Firmware - V2.08.175.

The latest software versions are available for download from EFILive's website.

VIN License management and firmware management are exclusive to the V8

Scan and Tune software.

FlashScan/AutoCal V3 and AutoCal V2 are not compatible with V7 software. V7

functions are only supported by FlashScan V2. The following is a brief overview of

the activities that are performed with the different software versions:

Controller Authorization

The controller authorization process has been retired in the April 2021 public

release software (or later). V8.3.5 software and firmware now manage this

process seamlessly via read/flash processes. The authorization module and

purchasing of authorization codes is no longer required.
