A Couple Newbie Questions

I am new to the HP tuner software. I have a couple newbie questions. I am working with a 2003 chevy 2.2l ecotec.. (1) Can I do "real time" tuning and if so how do you set it? (2) How would I know what version of HP tuner software I am using.... Thanks Craig

For version open hpt and goto help->about

Thanks

under Operating System (OS) there will be a drop down that says what is included and it will say Live Tuning or RTT. you have to pay extra credits for it if its an available option for you, but last i checked all 4 cylinder ecotecs don't get RTT so its probably not an option for you.

Not to mention that my 1990's VCR had more options for programming than the 2003 2.2L ECM

Is version 2.24.649 the latest version... I was looking around at different tunes and got a message saying the tune was made later version..

I looked under the OS and there is nothing in the drop down box...I must have a VCR from the 70`s lol...

You have to download the newest version from your customer page. The newest version is well past 1000. Go here: https://www.hptuners.com/customers/

There is also a Beta 2.25 out as well by request only. You can email support for access to that.

What is the difference between the two?

One of the big differences in the LNF world is being able to tune the 5-speed Automatic transmissions in the Solstice and Sky with the 2.25 Beta version. That is a big deal, but might not apply directly to you. In addition to that there are other vehicles and years that you can tune with it that are not listed on their current list of supported vehicles. I would highly doubt any enhancements had been made to the Cavalier tuning.
