HPTuners announces new pricing !!!

It is with great pleasure that HPTuners announces the following changes to our pricing structure effective today, 15-Nov-04.

Please note that no credits will be given on existing purchases towards the upfront package prices shown above.

Please contact sales@hptuners.com for all trade-in details. Please bear with us while we gear up for this it may take a week or so before the full details of where to send stuff etc. is available.

Further details follow.

VCM Suite Pro
VCM Suite Pro is the default package that will ship to all users. It includes two (2) vehicle types (year/model based). It is NOT VIN or VCM locked, you can tune as many vehicles of the same type as you like. There is no limit as to how many vehicle types you can add (this caters for pay as you go tunershops or enthusiastic home tuners). Additional vehicle types are added via software updates, no need to return cable (this is our existing process).

Existing VCM Suite Pro customers are able purchase additional vehicle types at the new price of $199 or $399 depending on your current number of licenses.

VCM Suite Standard
VCM Suite Std has been replaced by VCM Suite Pro and is the default package for all users. Existing VCM Suite Std users will recieve a free upgrade to VCM Suite Pro with the next update (before Christmas). Users who have single vehicle type support may add an additional vehcle for $199.

Prices
All prices do not include shipping or taxes where applicable, see http://www.hptuners.com/order.php for more details.

We thank you all for you support, suggestions and encouragement and trust you find these changes as exciting as we do.

The HPTuners team.

Tell us more,
I have edit now and am considering upgrading to EFILive Flashscan..their upgrade price isn't equitable for existing customers (existing customers pay more overall than new customers)... Make the price attractive enough and you've got an order tomorrow.

So if I already bought it for $500 for one car will I now get the second car for free?

They only apply to purchasing the bulk packages up front. Individual vehicle types do not count. I will make that more clear on our website.

Since the VCM Suite Pro includes 2 vehicle types....does this mean I could just get with someone that wanted HP Tuners, we split the price and get two sets of software/cables for both our trucks?

You can have as many vehicle types as you want on 1 cable.

Yes you can split the cost with a friend You only receive 1 interface. You will receive 1 interface and software CD for both vehicles.

That completely sucks for people like me that have already spent way more than that for my pro version that covers a lot less vehicles.
