MPVI interface burnt
Was cleaning up my car last night ran the OBDII cable behind the dash and in to the glove box. Connected the MPVI interface. Then my 5 year old started yelling so I left it for like 5 minutes and when I came back the car was FILLED with smoke! :banghead: the OBDII and HPtuners box were SMOKING hot and all melted. It drained the battery and don't know what other damage it caused behind the dash! Why didn't this blow a fuse? Is the OBDII port not fused? Can I get the interface and cable replaced?
Thanks,
Jeff

That is not good at all.
Yea, the obd port is fused and should have tripped it.
Send an e-mail to support with your info, serial #, link to this post, etc...

Support has got'en back to me.
Even though they say it was another power source grounding on the MVPI, I think I pluged the cable in backwards. :doh:
In my case, I think the board was still ok cause it would still work on my computer, it needed a new case and plug. So it was $65 for the repair.
I'm happy with the service so far and look forward to getting my HPTuners back! :hi:
