You need the only tuner they sell. It is not year specific like the handhelds used to be. It is one wire/a boxed piece of plastic with a code for authorization for a certain amount of paid for up front credits to tune with. Your credits that come with the unit can be used towards a specific year/model. In other words they allow you to activate your year/model vehicle on a per car basis. I recommend you read through the stickies on their website forum regarding the use of credits. Things start making alot more sense when you understand this part. In fact it may be the most important reading regarding your initial purchase I can think of.

order the vcm suite, but i'd suggest paying the extra $150 for the "professional" mpvi interface. i wish i had. it gives you 90minutes of blackbox datalogging so you dont have to keep a laptop plugged in (just download to your computer later) and you can hook your wideband to it so it will log your wideband output.

x2. Definitely get the Pro version. And, with the credits that come with the system, you can tune all 3 of your vehicles and still have 2 credits left. That comes out to tuning each vehicle for less than $220 and you still have the potential to tune one more. Tune a fourth vehicle and you've tuned each one for less than $165. Can't beat that bang-for-the-buck!
