EFILive AutoCal Release- Get on the list!

[JennaBear]

More than likely, if you clicked on this link, then you are probably one of the folks that has been waiting for the release of this much anticipated EFILive Product!

Taken straight from EFILive's website:

AutoCal shares many of FlashScan’s features including diagnostics, black box logging and tuning. AutoCal's primary purpose is to provide professional workshops with a cost effective way to service their remote customers’ data logging and tuning requirements.

Being small and lightweight, it is cost effective for workshops to ship AutoCal to a remote customer instead of the customer shipping their vehicle's controller to the workshop.

Once delivered, AutoCal can be used to log data from the customer's vehicle. The logged data can be sent back to the workshop via email for analysis. Updates to the tune can be emailed to the customer and the customer's vehicle can be reprogrammed instantly.

With SEMA right around the corner, and the release of the AutoCal imminent, we are taking names to get in on the first orders of the device.

We will be offering a discounted price for current Black Bear Performance customers as well as tune package deals for new customers. A trade in opportunity will also be available for folks to get a credit towards an AutoCal in exchange for their PCM/ECM/TCMs.

As for the price, nothing has been released, however, you can look at the current EFILive products to give you a good idea.

If you would like to get you name on the AutoCal list, please shoot an email to [email protected].

Yeah I was the first to click on it so you can tell I have been looking.
Will it run like $500, or more?

 

[JennaBear]

Like I said, I can't say anything on the price. I encourage you to check out the current products and determine what this will add to the offerings.

what does this let someone do? tune their own truck? Does EFI work on other makes and models?

you can get a tune by email now.

Basically the way I understand it is that BB would ship you this device, you plug it into your truck and it gathers data (assuming during normal driving conditions), then you plug that device into your computer and it generates a file that you email to BB. BB develops a "tune" file for your ride and emails it back to you, you upload the file to the device and plug it into your truck....................BAM you just programmed your own ride.....

I really don't know but it's just my $.02

 

[JennaBear]

We will have these on hand, however, this is for folks that want to purchase the item themselves. This way they can receive email tunes from Justin on the fly. There will be quite a few other neat features that this little bad boy will offer.

 

[JKmotorsports]

Oh yea. Just what I need... Thanks for the info Jenna.

 

[Fast55]

I e-mailed them some time ago and it will work for our trucks now, even 6.2 6-speed trucks. What they don't have is the tuning part done, right now, it's up to the buyer to figure it out. I've also asked Justin to get me in on the first buy. So I guess what we're really waiting for is one or more tuning files to be ready to ship with it?

 

[JennaBear]

It isn't the tuning files that we are waiting for, it is the actual software on the handheld that will allow it to program.

 

[BlizzardX23]

Whats better though Jenna...AutoCal? or the FlashScan V2? Looks like the V2 is more important..

 

[Rollin Thunder]

you can get a tune by email now.

I did that over a year ago, and still love it.

Then Andrew Jensen from EFI Live must be wrong. I even sent him my VIN to be sure they understood it's a 6.2 6-speed 4X4. The "FlashScan V2 Scan and Tune" for $799.00 was what he quoted me (licensed for up to 2 vehicles). Looking at their site, this is used to record data and then start changing the various mapping? That's not what I want, only because I don't have the hours needed to keep playing around with settings until it's "right". More info please.

 

[JennaBear]

Right, that is for the V2 which can do all the vechiles ECM and TCM included. That is different than the AutoCal.

The tuning of the 6 speed isn't the issue, the problem is that the transmission computer is inside the transmission, requiring tuning to be performed directly through the OBD2 port. The V2 will fully allow that and the AutoCal will just as soon as they (EFILive) have finished the firmware and software development for that device. At the moment, the AutoCal is able to record data and retrieve calibrations through the OBD2 port, it just cannot perform any programming function.

So, which one do you recommend Jenna, I have logged on to their website a few times but it's acting up on me? Also, what is the cost of the autocal one, can't seem to find that price either anywhere, I did see the flashscan V2 is $799 and the V2 scan only is $399 but can't seem to find a price for the autocal one!

 

[JennaBear]

AutoCal- optimal for folks that want us to provide email tunes for them to upload
V2 scan/tune- allows for email tunes, as well as self tuning on multiple vehicles
V2 scan- just allows you to log/scan, no programming/tuning

Price on the AutoCal has not been released yet, but will almost certainly be cheaper than the V2 scan.

 

[Rivieraracing]

So when it comes to the V2 scan/tune device, how much can you tune with them? Is it like choosing 3 preset tunes like other tuners that you can buy on the market or can you control values of aspects of your truck like Edelbrocks EFI system with handheld controller? Just need more info!

 

[JennaBear]

The V2 scan/tune is unlike handhelds, it is more for the folks that would like to tune on their own. You get to vehicle licenses with the cable, and can upload unlimited tunes to those vehicles via your laptop. So essentially you can have all of your tunes sitting in files on your laptop, and just upload them as you wish.

The AutoCal, will be more for folks that are not interested in tuning on their own, and would just like to have a tuner email tunes to them, so they can upload them to their vehicle. The AutoCal will also allow for you to datalog your vehicle, and send that info off to your tuner.
