have an 05 with an 06 powertrain and ecm in it. when connecting hp tuners, it says it cannot connect to the vcm.

are there any known issues with this? I had the ecm reflashed to the correct vin by the dealer, but now running into this issue. I wouldn't think there would be any connectivity problems between the two years

 

Make sure you have your application key handy, then delete the following file on your computer:

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\My Documents\HP Tuners\Settings\VCM Suite.cfg

Hope that works for you.

 

worked perfect... thanks

this is the first time I actually swapped the ecu in there with the powerpack, and I thought there was some type of configuration between 05 to 06 that was causing the issue

 

Hptuners has this issue a lot when switching from one year to another, or from one vehicle to the next. Copy your application key to a text pad and always have it just in case this happens again.

 

Not to thread jack, but if someone tuned me with a different car year tune, will this work too? Since I am having the same problem with connecting?

 

Most likely. I would just give it a shot since it doesn't really hurt anything.

 

that's sort of surprising because we've been using my brother's hptuners for a few years now and never had the first issue with it. i bought one for myself last week and as soon as we locked the vin in, it started trouble... figures
