Help new user to hp tuners

Hey all. Just curious. With using the mvip3.

Its

Register the device/resync with interface
Pull tune
Buy credits
Licence vin/file
Play with tune
Reflash into pcm

Is that correct?

For the most part, yes.

Yes. You can read and play with the tune all you want. Don't need to pay for license until it's time to write.

thanks guys, nervous about using the mpvi3.

dont want to brick my ecu/have using issues.
any tips on avoiding issues with it?

Before doing any tuning, always save a full backup of the tune and keep it in a safe location.

Don't write entire a tune from a different vehicle. Make changes to your own file based on a comparison of that file.

Don't unplug while writing. Don't let your laptop battery die. Obvious stuff like that.

Also read the table information at the bottom of the screen when you move your curser over that table button. Things like Pedal vs RPM or almost anything to do with the ETC tables can cause you to brick the PCM if moved to far from factory, thats assuming youre running DBW not DBC obviously.
