HP TUNERS MPV12 TOOL

Want to tune your own VW yourself? Want to datalog it? Troubleshoot codes? Or use its ECU to create track data? Then HP Tuners MPVI2 tool could be just the ticket.

Quite simply, you purchase the MPVI2 dongle for £299, tweak your map to your desired settings and tolerances using the free) and then upload your tune to the vehicle via the OBD port using the dongle. According to HPT, it’s really that easy, although for those who see it as a double edged sword – due to the complexities of mapping knowledge and understanding how an engine will react to certain changes – HP Tuners dealers around Europe will be able to offer off-the-shelf, upload-and-go coding solutions to suit whatever stage of economy or performance tuning you’re looking for. Basically, once you have a license for a certain ECU / ECM that credit is linked to the ECU forever. If for any reason you have to replace the ECU at a later date, the license goes with the old computer, so you’ll need to re-flash any other ECU with new credit(s).
