I also meant to ask.what years does EFI live & AutoTap cover? I'm assuming that it does not do CAN buss networks. I might look into your tuning software as I'm probably going to compare whats out there nowadays. Besides, as I remember, LS1 & LT1 were pretty archaic.

I'm pretty sure their interfaces are licensed to their respective ECU's. I found my LS1 & LT1 edit cables, so I guess thats what I was using back then for making tune changes. My Tech II updates parameter data pretty rapidly, but of course.doesn't have the large screen my laptop does. the USB cable? Or is that in the software.

functions of graphing like I saw on the Auto Tap website? & will that work with my old interface? Any updating speed differences between the Serial cable vs. Or should I not do that because of the possibility of crossing circuits & causing damage to the interface & possibly my laptop as well?ĥ.) Does the V7 version of Auto Tap give you all the D.I.Y.

So from what I gather from your messages.ġ.) I can still use my cable on my HP computer which has a docking station and a serial port.Ģ.) I'll also have to download V7 & install it onto both of my laptops.ģ.) I can't use a Serial to USB converter on my newer Toshiba laptop, but you do make a cable USB cable? And does that mean I have to replace the original interface as well? Or can I just buy the USB portion of the cable & use my old interface?Ĥ.) Are you sure that I can't use a USB to Serial adapter? Have you ever tried it? I'm guessing they might be cheap enough at Frys to give it a try. Thanks for replying so quickly Andrew & Joe. I think I bought this thing when I was doing some tuning on a ZL1 late model camaro if I'm not mistaken. I just need to know if this cable & software is still useful to me at all. Just so you know, I'm a driveability tech by trade.so don't be worried about speaking very technically to me. Most of the tools I use at work nowadays are manufacture tools.

I'm interested in using it again & was wondering if I need to update this software to be able to use the cable.ġ.) Is this cable licensed to only one car?Ģ.) If so, can I get software/hardware that will enable me to use this like my Tech2? In other words, like a factory or even generic scan tool?ģ.) Is the Autotap the scanner software and the EFIliveV5 software the tuning software? Its been so long since I've used this type of software. I purchased this software/hardware combo many years ago.
