    No Solstice in 2.1.12?

    So, I guess there's no support for the Solstice in 2.1.12 then?
    It's not listed in the list of supported vehicles.
    Doesn't the chevy cobal use the same ecotec engine?

    for the time being it's off the list, some of these vehicles use the 5speed auto which has a different TCM in it. At this stage we are uncertain if we will support the TCM.

    Why wasn't that mentioned when that question was specifically asked before?
    I honestly don't understand the cloak and dagger answers, as if might have been coming?
    How do I go about getting a refund?
    I'll be sending the whole unit back, as it is completely useless to me, with no support in sight for the solstice, and I'll have to buy a different package.
    I haven't used any of the licenses.

    what question was specifically asked? We will support the LE5 engine in the Solstice just as soon as we can determine if the TCM can be supported as well. AFAIK nobody offers tuning for these TCMs.

    LS2Edit supports it, and has for the last couple of months.
    Poeple have been doign custome tunes on the Solstice for the last 4 months or so.
    I asked about the solstice here a couple of times, and only now was the specific response, no, not for the time being.

    Had I known that it was not even in the cards, Iw oudln't have ordered. Even though most people are of the opinion that HPTuners is a better product, it's of no use if it won't support the car.

    please email me your VIN # if you don't mind. Is your vehicle a 5spd auto?

    We can have you something to use for engine tuning quite quickly (like this week), it really is only the german made TCM issue that held up the release for this vehicle. As we would like to support it if possible. Are you sure LS2 edit supports that TCM, i doubt they do.

    I checked the list of supported vehicles and I see:

    "06 Chevy Cobalt 2.4
    06 Pontiac G6 2.4
    06 Saturn ION 2.4 "

    Still no 06 Pontiac Solstice 2.4 listed.

    Does VCM Suite 2.1.12 support the manual transmission Solstice?

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Geez, I've waited and waited, and the MPVI Pro has not yet arrived.

    Come on, people, it's been EIGHT hours already! Hurry up!

    Just joking, of course.

    Does that include the Sky by any chance? I mean, it's been out for like a month, that's plenty of time... right? Seriously though, I assume the Sky will be there one day as well?

    as stated on the supported vehicles page http://www.hptuners.com/products/vcmsuite_vehicles.php

    it says "If you believe we support your vehicle already but do not see it on the list, please e-mail us using the contact page http://www.hptuners.com/contact.php with your vehicles year/make/model, engine size and full VIN so we can verify support."
