Don't upgrade to 3.10 They took away the ability to turn off rear O2 sensors.

Ah damn, I just updated :(

I was wondering why I couldn’t find the faosc switch, I wonder if they took that out too

Thankfully I have the original installer still, hopefully they’ll let me run it

I uninstalled the new version and it allowed me to reinstall the eariler version. It does bug you to install the latest. I just hope it still allows flashing.

I submitted a support ticket, maybe if we all do it they will reinstate the feature.

I don't see how the EPA can mess with an Australian company.

The workaround would probably be to use HPT to switch those things and PCMtec to do the rest.

It would probably be pretty easy to find the bits to change too, generate two tune files, one stock config and one with the items you want to change switched (O2 sensors). Then use a hex editor to find the difference, once we know where the change is in the .bin file, no editor at all can ever block you from changing it. You can always change it manually.

Idk if that works with custom OS's, I'd guess not.

This is the answer I got from support.

Rear O2 sensors are required for emissions compliance in the USA and cannot be disabled.

They got strong armed from some one.
We need to pass the RPM act so the EPA cannot treat race cars like street cars.

Unfortunate, but not unexpected. Seems like they just don’t wanna deal with it.

Cause they're supplying parts/services to America. That's how.

FIY, if you buy the editor with the discount it also includes 15% off the OBDX Pro FT cable

coupon code: pcmtec

Which is the only one that supports 64 bit mode, PCMTec says you can run out of memory logging otherwise. If you haven't bought a cable yet this is the one to get. I just ordered one.

I was just thinking about this a little more. Its really not that much of an issue as long as we can disable the O2 sensor biasing (FAOSC). A non-fouler will fix the light but we need FAOSC disabled to not effect fueling.

That's really the only issue I can see

It's the principle for me.

HP took it away also.

I don't remember if version 3.1 allows the ability to disable FAOSC

There is a Russian program I'm going to give them a try. I doubt they will roll over to the EPA.

If that doesn't work I'll just have to learn the bin files and an editor.

I installed PCMTech v2.11xxxx. It wont let me log in and says it is an incomplete version of ProTuner and wants me to install v3.10. SO, I think they have locked out US users from v2.11. Crap sucks.

stand up a HTTP proxy and you might be able to "lie" to the license server.

My friend bought pcmtech and the obdxpro cable and it can’t read a Whipple tune out of a 2018 because it doesn’t support the ZRBJ4 osid. Anyone know a workaround?
