VCM Scanner
HP Tuners adds a new entry point for tuning enthusiasts with VCM Scanner. This package ships with the same MPVI Standard and Pro hardware options as the full VCM Suite but does not include the VCM Editor software capability. VCM Scanner allows you to scan and datalog your vehicle. It's an ideal way to get started if you don't want to tune your vehicle, want to monitor a shop tune you paid good money for, or you just want to impress your friends with advanced information available from your vehicles engine management system.



After the initial purchase, VCM Scanner does not require any additional licensing to use, you can scan any vehicle we support. Also, just like VCM Suite, software upgrades are free. So as we continue to add the latest model and other application support you can continue to upgrade completely free!

VCM Scanner can be upgraded to the full VCM Suite package at anytime, instantly via our online ordering system.

Pricing:
VCM Scanner Pro $499
VCM Scanner Std $349

Dealers, please email sales@hptuners.com for further information.

GM 6L80e Transmission tuning enhancements
HP Tuners developers have been busy adding additional support for the GM 6-speed transmission (6L80e). Over 450 new parameters have been added to allow very detailed control of the transmission shift pressures and shift feel. These transmissions are extremely complex and that is reflected in the complex nature of the tuning parameters. Definitely a challenge for even the more experienced tuners out there!




GM Allison A40 Transmission Controller support
VCM Suite 2.22 also adds support for the Allison 6-speed transmission (A40 controller) used mostly in GM diesel engine applications. After a lengthy beta test period we are confident our customers will not be disappointed with the results!

Is this any different than the 2.22 I downloaded and installed on 4/24/08?

 

yes, there have been nearly 2 dozen new compiles since 4/24

 

then why isnt the versioning bumped up?

 

Yeah, I downloaded 2.22 on 6/7 and the one out there now is different (installing it now)..

It'd be nice to at least put an updated version or date on the install file...

 

It is, you can check your version by clicking Help-About which will give you the extended version ie 2.22.3110.28034

 

I guess I'll need to download since I have the 2.22.3091.14856.

THX

 

Great!

is there a log of changes made between releases?

 

Yeah me too... Thanks for updates..

 

Will this version automatically open over my previous version I downloaded a couple of months ago?

 

it will install overtop of your previous install, but keeps all the settings and config files.

simple as downloading and running

 

Not crazy about having to purchase a COS to SD tune the E38s. I'm going to try one, just to see the added features, but to have to pay for the ability to tune the VE, when its really already there, well thats just kinda silly.

 

Cool Thanks! ,I didn't know if I clicked on my Short cuts on my Desktop if it would open the Latest version.But I did know it kept my tunes and files...

 

If you have the tunershop license for Gen 4 cars you get the Gen 4 custom operating systems free.

The R&D involved in creating a real VE table with adjustable axes, added tables such as the boost VE, the extended maf table & limits its VERY time consuming but well worth it over the stock operating system.

 

i just downloaded and installed the newest and greatest, but the full version is 2.22.3042.35739, and the webpage says "Created on: April 30, 2008". Did you forget about me?

 

The creation date doesn't have a direct correlation to the build date ie just because it says April 30th doesn't mean there haven't been updates to the build between then and now in fact there have been ~20 updates to the public build in that time. Additionally customers using a serial interface will have a different build number than those using a USB interface since the USB interface users have a generic build as compared to serial users have an individual specific build number.

 

Good info.

I need to upload the latest version.

With version .22, I had noticed that the scanner was freezing up from time to time when I would review logs. Hopefully that will go away with the latest revision. I think my .22 version was downloaded back in May.

 

so is what I got the newest for serial interfaces? What's the best way to find out the newest build and if i got it?

 

Mine has been doing that too. Mostly in the chart view.

 

Login to your customer page & download from the 2.22 link, that WILL be the latest version available.
