View the Supported Vehicles List here (http://tunertools.com/HPTuners/HPTuners-Supported-Vehicles.asp)

HP Tuners VCM Suite (http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=HP-VCM-Suite): includes 8 credits with the purchase (either GM or Ford). See options for Pro, Standard, GM or Ford and additional credits.

The HP Tuners VCM Editor (http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=HP-VCM-Suite) utility is a comprehensive VCM/PCM programmer and parameter editor.
VCM Editors Flash utility allows the user to read the VCM/PCM flash memory and save it to a binary file. The Flash utility allows a valid calibration to be written to the VCM/PCM and also incorporates an automatic VCM/PCM recovery capabilities for ultimate protection against any reflashing problems that may be encountered.

The HP Tuners VCM Editor (http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=HP-VCM-Suite) also allows modification of the saved binary image. The VCM Editor allows all parameters such as Spark, Fuel, RPM Limits, FAN Temps, Transmission Shift points and pressures, Speedometer settings and many, many more. The editor provides an easy to use graphical interface and many powerful table manipulation capabilities such as copying, scaling and shifting to name a few.

Where Standard vs. Pro differ is the Pro version offers stand-alone data logging that allows you to scan the car without hauling a computer along with you. The Pro version also accepts 0-5V inputs so that you can log air fuel ratio (or other information) along with your OBD2 parameters. With that said, I would seriously consider the MPVI Pro if you have (or are planning) any sort of modifications to the vehicle(s) you will be tuning as this will allow you to data log your Air Fuel Ratio etc. and display it right along with the parameters logged with HP Tuners Scanner. This eliminates the need to analyze data from a separate software system, or worse yet, write down the AFR at certain RPM and load points. Otherwise, if you will not be modifying the vehicle, the Standard will be more than sufficient.

Both the Pro and Standard come with 8 credits.

VCM Editors Flash utility (http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=HP-VCM-Suite) allows not just calibration reflashing and automated recovery, but entire VCM/PCM image reflashing. This means that you are free to make any operating system or calibration level modifications and flash those to the VCM/PCM. This has many uses for the advanced enthusiast, serious tuner or engine swap shop, allowing complete control over the VCM/PCM software environment.

The VCM Editor (http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=HP-VCM-Suite)also allows for increased vehicle support for tuners, and also access to extra VCM/PCM operating system code modifcations. Tuners also have the option to modify VIN's, a useful feature for mail order VCM's.

Upgrading VCM Suite standard to VCM Suite Pro is not something dealers are allowed to do at all and it requires shipping the unit straight to HP Tuners. They charge $289 as it requires a new interface and they can't resell your old interface as new. There is no dealer markup as we're not even allowed to be in the middle of that particular transaction.
