2005 onwards controller linking

So trying to see what people are using to link bf onwards fords & ve v6 onwards commodores?

I have snap-on scan tools & with both above mentioned models they don't support linking saying it's manufacturer only, but there has to be other options?

For GM guessing could use a tech2 or MDI or mongoose with tis access, then told ford needs a passthru device & G7 access, what other tools/software or hardware is being used out there?

you can use efilive for the E40, E38 ECMs I think HPT can do it too. No one has it enabled for the Alloytec ECMs tho.

Yeah I was pretty sure on that too, I edited it just after I posted adding in the v6 factor for commodore, I'm 99% sure hpt does it for v8 & not sure on ve v6 but know for sure it doesn't do bf I6!

I use tech2 and tis for gm, ids and subscription for ford, they are the only 'do it all' tools. The costs of subscriptions is crap :thumbdown:

Yeah thats what I thought, I was hoping someone with a hannatech or other similar scan tool may be able to do it... but ASSuming it's still priority systems only.

I've been told there is software/hardware from the states that can get controller linking codes for Ford upto latest model & swap them to another controller & link in car?

Anyone heard or seen such thing, guessing/hoping there could be something similar for GM too?
