I was just curious if anything else in there could add additional cranking timing, or trick it into not pulling as much out for cranking.

I'm not familiar with HP-T,
In EFI-L there are a couple of tables to sort this out.
Spark Timing When Cranking (which I assume you don't have)
and Minimum Spark Advance (?) .....adjusting this should do what you want.

Yup, there is a cranking timing table in the later versions and the newer software doesn't work with the ancient serial cable. A long time ago they told everybody of the upgrade plan in place and that the newer software would not work with the old serial cable and gave the cheap option to trade in the old for the new since it was the only way to keep getting updates.

HP Tuners said the serial cable would continue to get software updates. There is just no beta for serial cables. If they ever have a new public release serial cable users should get an update. Unfortunately there has not been one in over 3 years.

I cant afford to trade it in because then I wouldnt be able to do all my vehicles and then all my friends also without buying a bunch of credits. They whole turning them in sounds like a big scam. The less of them out floating around the more money they can make off us.

Well, we might be screwed by HP Tuners again now. If you now go back and look at their announcement discontinuing support of the serial cable, it was edited by Bill 0n 5-13-2011 to change their statement of continued software updates for serial cable users by adding the words "at least for a short time" Those words were not in their original announcement. I have that original anouncement archived. Those words were not in it.

The MPVI software is completely different from the serial interface software, they are not compatible with each other. We will not be supporting the serial interfaces, software wise, forever, simple as that as the upkeep is simply not worth it for a piece of hardware we haven't produced since 2005? We offered pwrtrip75 a discount on a new mpvi interface even though we haven't done upgrades on these since 2009 and as far as I know he has refused the offer. I've tried to go out of my way to help in offering a solution but unfortunately providing betas for serial interfaces is not a possibility.

Ya... they want to your $$$$. And if you want beta or a cranking timing table you need to buy a new version.

HP Tuners statement about continuing to offer software updates had much to do with my decision to keep using it. After all I have $5000 invested in that cable, It has always worked flawlessly at a time when there were a lot of reliability issues with the MPVI. Has nothing to do with grabbing binaries as you stated. I have TC OBD2 if I want to do that. I have a MPVI cable too. All I want is to be able to open and edit files that I have licenses on it that have been saved with 2.23+ versions. Your companies original statement of disconuing support made a point to say software upgrades for it would continue.

In reality there only a few of these interfaces still left out there, and I have one of the earliest made MPVI's and I use it every day and have not had any issues with it, we are currently running at about a .2% failure rate on these and most of those are just worn out usb connections or blown mux chips from seeing a power surge so reliability has never been an issue and I'm the one thats been tracking this since 2007 so thats certainly not something thats ever been a problem.

My MPVI has been sent in for repair once and continues to this day to crash and lock up the scanner software. Something the serial cable never does. The point is your announcement on discontinuing serial cable support was very specific on what support would be discontinued and what support would be continued.There was no ambiguity in what was announced. Continued software upgrade support was to be continued. It was clearly stated separately in the announcement prior to your editing it in May, 2011.
