Default HPtuners - Flash someone else's stock tune?

I would like to start over with my car's stock tune, but I only have someone else's from the HP Tuners web site. I can't save changes/write the calibration to my car, so how do I license it to my vehicle?

Your better off copying the tables so you don't have to spend credits licenseing that OS.

That is very time consuming but it is the best way I have found. Once you do that, make a pair of copies and put them in a safe place. That way you always have a base "safe" tune to go back to.

Post the tune that you are working with now and I'll make a stock calibration for you from it to preserve your licensing. It only takes me a minute.

How are you doing that. Bench harness and EFI LIVE? Exploiting HPTuners flawed licensing scheme.. I love it.

Geez Mr. Happy, maybe he is using the OP's licensed tune file (thats why is asked him for it) and then a known stock tune (same vintage and OS) that he has in his own repository, open them in compare mode. View Comparison Log, copy differences. If you have files you can trust you can copy like tables this way, not too hard.

Just to expand on how to do this. Once you have your "View comparision Log" open then right click on Engine and "Copy over differences" and same on transmission and you will have copied the file. Only thing I've found that won't copy over is your Engine Diag DTCs. Haven't tried but may everything under that block.

This exactly^


Making a cal OEM is the first thing I do when I get a car that has already had tuning done on it so that I can work from scratch.

I'm in the same situation. If I contact you on your site can you do the same for me as well? Or I can post it here. Thanks!
