E38 PCM binary file
Does anyone have any E38 PCM binary file?
I would read it by myself using GM MDI / J2534 and specific open source tool, but as winter is approaching, I don't have any C6 Corvettes here right now.

Kind of forgot this thread.
C6 Z06 came to a visit yesterday as weather permitted. So I was able to read certain E38 PCM as a binary read.
Not much luck with finding corresponding XDF-file.

Yes, for sure.
Reading a tune in a binary makes it tunable for many kind of tuning software. It's a bit like a pdf format for printable documents. You may be edit and save pdf docs with multiple word editors.
On the other hand, tools like HPTuners encrypt their files so that if the tune has been saved in their format, it cannot be read by other tools.
Reading PCM in a binary format has been there for ages for pretty old PCM's.
For GM Gen 3 platform there is nowadays a program called PCMHammer. And for E38 there's another tool that seems to be working fine.
