VR Tuned HP Tuners Instructions

***PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE BEFORE PROCEEDING***

Vivid Racing was acquired in May 2025 and no longer offers or supports ECU Flash Tuning. We still carry and support our Plug and Play Tuning Box Kits. Any customer that needs to flash back to stock is advised to follow the instructions on our Installation link. For Mail-In ECU flash customers you will need to visit your local dealership and have them program your vehicle to stock. If you do this, we cannot reflash your ECU after. No Exceptions. Sorry!

How to Flash Your ECU with the HP Tuners MPVI from VR Tuned

These instructions are for OBDII flashing your vehicle with the HP Tuners MPVI tool provided by VR Tuned.  We do not make the hardware but will do our best to support it.

Please note that the HP Tuners MPVI device and VCM Editor can allow you to make changes to your tune.  This can be VERY dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.  All files are good working files that we provide.  If you choose to alter a file, you do so at your own risk and we cannot support these changes.  

***Please always have your computer plugged in and a battery charger on your vehicle during the flashing process.***

Required to Flash

• Windows PC or MAC running as a windows machine with USB drive.  Must be Windows 8 or newer.
• HP Tuners MPVI supplied by VR Tuned with Preloaded Credits for Flashing.
• Battery Charger
• For FAQs or support questions, please also visit the HP Tuners Forums Here.

Download HP Tuners VCM Suite and/or Drivers Here (Beta Recommended)

Step 1 – Download the VCM Suite and install this on your Windows based computer.  We have already configured your MPVI device to have credits.  Credits are used once the file is written back to your vehicle.

Step 2 – Connect the MPVI to your OBDII port and launch the VCM Editor software.  The VCM Scanner can be used for logging and code clearing later.

Step 3 – With the VCM Editor open, click on the Help tab and choose to Resync Device which will update the device before you can read.

Step 4 – Once the device has been synced, you can now Read the ECU Memory.  Under FLASH, select Read Vehicle.

NOTE: If you get this screen, that means your ECU needs to be unlocked or is not supported.  Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Mercedes ECU are specified on the product page that the ECU must be sent in to be unlocked for an additional charge before the MPVI can be used.

Step 6 – Now that you have received your file back, you can reconnect the MPVI to your OBDII port and launch the HP Tuners VCM Editor software again.

Step 7 – With the software open, click on the Flash then Write ECU.  At this point it will use the credits from the MPVI and the device cannot be used on another car without purchasing more credits through us (Purchase Credits Here)

Step 8 – Once the file has completely written, you can turn the key off then back on to start the car.  If you have any check engine lights, use the VCM Scanner to see what they are.  You are done!
