the 852 will work with VPW and CAN, so that's what, 95% of what everyone here would want to play with?
so...... what would have to happen for a bunch of enthusiasts to try and qualify as either of those?Available to industrial customers and as an OEM unit only.
otherwise, the cheapest unit is like $230, with an extra $15 for some add-on A/D channels (and that seems like an EXCELLENT deal considering what it could be used for)
as for reverse engineering.....

take a look at the bottom 2 pics. not gonna be easy.... interesting thing to note: the processor used looks to be a motorola(freescale) unit. can't read the exact part number though.
Mark, let me know how the RR/TC set-up is. I've had a number of people ask me lately about tuning OBD2 stuff.
If it wasn't for this craptastic "licence per vehicle/PCM/Enging family deal" I'd likely have bought OBD2 tuning equipment already. But at minimum $499 + more "licences" for each vehicle, it's sometimes hard for someone that wants the tuning done to understand why I'll be charging $400+ to tune their vehicle.
I like the idea of the RR/TC deal, even at over $2000 for unlimited vehicles, it's still WAY cheaper than EFI Live.
So if I understand it correctly, you can use the RR to get the tune, then flash the original PCM, that is not equipped with an RR, to send someone on their merry tuned way, is that correct?
The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
Yes but only LS1 or modified other engines to run off the 411 PCM.So if I understand it correctly, you can use the RR to get the tune, then flash the original PCM, that is not equipped with an RR, to send someone on their merry tuned way, is that correct?
EFI Live is sweet, fairly easy for a rich guy with a newer car to play "let's melt my motor"! But I think for trying to make a buck the per license thing is ridiculas and cost of unlimited would even be a strain on a dyno facility, I've seen Dynos for same cost...
Data logging is the only obstacle, I think with new LS1 stuff for TunerPro and a good Scan Tool and experiance it can be done. But I'm still looking at EFI FlashScan for data logging as no license per vehicle. Covers all the cool GM SS stuff OBDII and more.

Exciting stuff to follow ; reminds me of the NASA space-folks prepping for their first Earth orbital flight. Lots of what-if's and how-bout's . Be safe...Bob.
Should have a cable that does CAN as well as "old" GM OBDII. Without CAN you're starting out obsolete. :(
For older AVT cables there was software available to talk with cable, ping PCM, etc. I've been playing with a GM OBDII pcm that is not used in GM vehicle and looks like 7427 with extra connector. Aftermarket scantool talks with it but still haven't gotten response using pc. There was a freeware scantool developed for AVT VPN version which I have a copy of. Was a forum too, but IIRC it's not even found on internet archive.
Lessee...
Yep! UVScan. Forum was at "uvscanning.com" Software was on grandamgt.com and a couple other sites. Mebbe someone who's worked with it is still around? Or can come up with some Google caches to download?
I'll have to give that a try.
Been playing with ScanXL Pro w/GM enhanced PIDS. First impressions are WOW! Loads of custom PIDS for calculations.
