    If the tune is in your vehicle and you have support from HPTuners for that vehicle, you can simply download it and start tuning the .bin file.

    Doesn't work with DHP. My buddy flashed my car with a tune he did with DHP and I couldn't read the .bin using HPT. He can read mine though???!!!

    I believe DHP changes some info during the rewrite of the PCM locking the PCM so only their software will work...

    yeah we get a few emails from folks about DHP PCM's. On many files we see the Operating System/CalID has been set to 0, also in many cases the checksums are invalid and the PCM ROM checksum tests have been disabled.

    There is nothing we can do about these PCMs as we have better things to do than try and work out what "0" means and also verify that the calibration in the PCM is "correct" and not "corrupt".

    Not having a go at DHP, just stating the facts of why many DHP PCMs need to be restored to stock before they can be used with our software.

    Why is it my friend can read my bin's (HPT) but I can't read his (DHPPowerTuner)?

    When he wrote my PCM, he did not lock it.

    DHP auto locks their tunes ... guess they want to try to maintain their old monopoly....


    DHP locks PCMs in such a way that no other software can read it.... this includes GM TechIIs ......
