The Details

This one-time service upgrades your vehicle’s original Bosch ME17.8.33 ECM and is required before tuning with HP Tuners software. Remove the ECM and ship it to HP Tuners for processing. Once it is upgraded and reinstalled, use your MPVI4 interface and VCM Suite to read, edit, write, and data log supported ECM calibrations through the vehicle diagnostic connection.

The upgrade is intended to avoid the immobilizer and other post-flash relearn procedures that can otherwise be necessary. Relearn requirements depend on the original ECM being returned to the same vehicle and the condition of that vehicle and module; additional procedures cannot be ruled out in every case.

Everything you need to tune your supported McLaren with HP Tuners:

  • This one-time McLaren ME17 Upgrade Service for the vehicle’s original ECM.
  • An MPVI4 interface and the latest supported version of VCM Suite.
  • (30) Universal Credits to license the upgraded ECM.
  • For remote tune delivery, an RTD4 interface and Tune Delivery Network (TDN) support. ECM licensing requires the same 30 Universal Credits.

Note: Universal Credits are not included in the cost of the upgrade service and must be purchased separately. Transmission tuning is not supported at this time.




  • This service is available only as an HP Tuners send-in upgrade. Authorized dealer or third-party processing is not offered through this service.
  • Only the original ECM from the supported vehicle will be accepted. Do not send a spare, donor, or replacement ECM.
  • The upgraded ECM must be reinstalled in the same vehicle from which it was removed. Relearn avoidance is not guaranteed in every circumstance.
  • Only MPVI4 and RTD4 are supported for this application. Earlier MPVI and RTD devices are not compatible.
  • Once upgraded, the ECM requires 30 Universal Credits for licensing. Credits are sold separately.
  • Upon reinstallation, connect using the latest supported version of VCM Scanner, review any diagnostic trouble codes, and clear codes as appropriate.
  • Transmission tuning is not available at this time for these applications.
  • These ECM/PCM/TCM services are completed at the owner’s risk. HP Tuners will not be responsible for the vehicle, its powertrain, or electronics, nor how the control module is used, calibrated, and its functionality.
  • Due to the factory location of the ECM in the vehicle, all ECMs will exhibit signs of weathering and wear, which is completely normal.
  • When utilizing this service there is a possibility that the vehicle will need to be sent to the dealers to be re synced. Purchaser accepts all liability for this activity.

Should you experience any issues with your ECM, please submit a ticket to our support team for assistance on how to proceed.
