    I have over 1000 files and most are bin files. We have a private repository of tuned and Good OE bin files that we use when we repair PCM and ECM's. They are all linked up, so if Tom adds a bin it will show on my laptop or desktop.

    Can you find the checksums without EFILive? I can find them all and the CVN's within a few minutes

    I did download it, but it's not a zip file so why unzip it? It's an executable file?

    If you have a way to turn it to a spreadsheet you could have just attached it?

    Mark, the executable is just an update to tunercats pcm.dat file. Run it and it will unzip itself.

    Open the file that unzips in excel or open office. It's like the logs from older versions of TP. Comma delineated.

    The next step is to add headings to the columns.

    In my opinion you should have MS access anyway. If you had Access you would see the big picture. DHP's PowerTuner and TinyTuner are both Access based. I would go out on a limb and say EFILive is

    I gotta say I had no idea TC VDF theft was actually an issue.
    I know several users,and none have ever asked me and i've definately never offered.I've got over half the VDF's at least,and paid for every one.
    I still send an email every time I buy a new one,starts out everytime thanking him for the great program.
    About to pick up and check out some of the diesel vdf's from lyndon as well probably.

    The OBDI stuff really gets handed around. OBDII is less likely because there aren't many TCII owners. It seems like several decent forums really stick to the idea to pay for the software so that helps, too.

    Make sure you order the TC definition file from Lyndon, not the one for his software.

    I've been using Open Office for years and this is the first time I could not open as you were instructing? I'm just a novice with office software. Now that it was posted as an Excel file it opens fine in Open Office... and I see what you mean. Lots of good information there!
