Default Help Needed Asap!!

Question PT.net Family,

Can anyone tell me if the older model hp tuners vcm suite 2.0, came with a scan cable or a serial cable? Getting ready to pull the trigger on one. I heard hpt is starting to phase out their serial cables vs their usb. Looking to buy this used unit within the next hour

I don't the answer but I wouldn't invest in something that old.

Did a quick check on the web and serial interfaces are very very old.

Is the serial # on the interface? Are you getting the login information to hptuners.com?

2.24 was the last, non-beta version before 3.0 was released this year.

I would stay away from it personally.

Just my .02.

Thanks to Madmann24 for the support he provided. I drove 2 hours and picked up the unit. Guy originally want 400 for it, which i was willing to pay without any credits. To make the situation better, we even traded for an xbox 1 console with one game and two controllers. After getting the serial number and logging in, The unit shows that it has 8 gm credits and none were used. It was a newer unit VCM Suite MVPI PRO!!!

To be fair, the website always 8 credits/0 used for me.

If anything, you'll have to buy credits. The used/available credit numbers are stored on the interface.
