in Massachusetts? I got a mail order tune from justin. Im wondering how much more he could alter with a live tune even though I got the mail order tune. I would be in if its worth it.

You wouldn't count towards the 10 needed as you would be getting a re-tune that costs nothing.

I'll be up there visiting family for Thanksgiving...I WISH it could happen around then, haha.

Depending on the date I will either be in Michigan or New Hampshire. Of course money also plays a role whether or not it is feasible. I do have interest in this, just need more information once it is available.

Locstion...I was thinking we could have the tune in Palmer Ma. This is by not means set in stone. He needs little traffic and highway. Palmer offers little traffic and the masspike for highway driving. Right off exit 8 on the Masspike there is a big Y where people could meet. Anyone feedback on the matter would be great. A tentative date right now is sometime in March/April. Thanks

If you had a traditional tune, you will need to contact Justin to go over the reasoning with the update. Updates are free via mail, but we have had way too many people assuming tunes "go bad" over time wanting a live tune. More times than not, there is nothing for Justin to change and it is a waste of time.

 

There is a $50 upgrade fee from the traditional tune to an inperson tune.

It looks as though you'll be able to buy the EFLive AutoCal from Justin and connect it to the ORB port and your Laptop. Record the data from your driving habits, then email that data file to Justin.

He will then send the tune back for you to install. I believe you can copy the OEM tune and save it for reinstallation whenever you need too.

I believe you don't need to pull any Chips (ECM, TCM) or have a second set. It sounds great to me and I emailed Justin to get on the list for the new AutoCal unit.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
