Ok so this isn't really a big deal right now but has anyone got the Bluetooth feature to work with their MPVi2? I have tried on 2 different laptops but it cannot find the Bluetooth signal on the interface.
as far as I have gotten it pairing it but it will not reconnect . I have tried both versions with no success I doubt the laptops are your problem. idk if it matters but I have the newest BT5 Bluetooth
make sure to hold in the BT button on your interface for 5 seconds, this will start the pairing process.
yes I have been holding the pairing button but nothing. even my iPhone doesn't pick anything up
we do not support iphone.
Android only. Should read as HPTuners MPVI2. At least thats how it reads on my phone & laptop.
Havent been able to connect to it either with my laptop. Cable it is for now i guess.
Connecting via BT really couldn't be any more simple.
1. Plug the interface into your pc/laptop using the supplied c-usb cable
2. On windows 10 click the search icon and type in settings or bluetooth to bring up your bluetooth settings window
3. turn bluetooth to the on position
4. Hold down the button marked BT for 5 sections to enter pairing mode
5. select + Add Bluetooth or other device
6. select HP Tuners MPVI2 in the pairing window
7. done.
I've tested this on multiple pc's today and its worked flawlessly on each.
Do they have a default name that they broadcast on bluetooth? I see a device called other and a WT12-a but it fails to add either one.
HP Tuners MPVI2 is the only one reported during our testing.
Bill I can tell you 100% I followed your directions to a T didn't even really need them at all anyway I paired it successfully however it will not reconnect there is something wrong as far as connecting to an iPhone you may not support it but any device with Bluetooth should still see you were Bluetooth device regardless
exactly it may be on my end but I am pretty computer savy and in my Bluetooth searches with the Bluetooth light blinking neither one of my laptops can find the device.
Mine was also named "WT12-a". I didn't even press the BT button, but my PC showed the device and connected to it.
You can change the name if you right click the "WT12-a" device and select Properties. Then select the Bluetooth tab and change the name.
same problem, can't find the mpvi2 with bluetooth. I do have the WT12-A show up but it showed up without even holding the button on the mpvi2 and Im confused about the WT12-A, is it like the bluetooth antenna in your computer so to speak or is it in the mpvi2 unit? I'm not computer smart at all lol but the mpvi2 is the only device I can't get to connect or even get to show up as being labeled hp tuners mpvi2 like they said it should show up as.
I am still in the same boat I have follow the directions to a t. It will Pair but not reconnect also when the scanner is looking for it it freezes the scanner I will post a pic I have to do ctrl alt del every time was froze for 10 minAttachment 80384
I have 3 brand new MPVI2s here. All show up as WT12-A and non of them will communicate with the scanner or Editor via bluetooth. I think there is something wrong with these early units.
I have tried on 3 different PCs with the same results. Once the BT button is pressed the Bluetooth light will flash on the unit for several minutes even if I pair it to a PC.
It will show up as WT12-A even before I press the BT button
Something needs addressed or these units are going back until its figured out.
One of you should generate a ticket to support if you already haven't

Same Here, no connection and tried all the above. I was able to get in via usb.
I already emailed them Bill the moment you told me yours worked fine.

im sure it will be fixed soon probably a firmware problem/bug. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Thanks
I have one doing the same thing . In for info
Mine is showing WT12-A and will not stream data from the car via Bluetooth (but does with the cable)
New firmware version 2.0.79 published. it should fix the bluetooth issues that some of our customers were having (MPVI2 not showing up when pairing)
There are a few options for updating to the latest firmware:
1) For any 4.0 or 4.1 VCM editor: Help->Resync Interface will trigger a firmware update
2) If using beta 4.1.68 or later gathering info will also cause the firmware to update.
If you continue having issues with the newest firmware update email support please.
You can read vehicles in VCM Editor, just not write.
ok so yes the Bluetooth is working on the scanner but I am unable to read a file out on the editor. Not a big deal but the editor is not recognizing the MPIV2
Any chance the mpvi2 will connect to a MacOS box so that I can relay the bluetooth stuff to vmware fusion with windows 10?
Aaaahhh shucks. How about a Mac version of HPTuners? :)
I'm mostly against wires, but when the pro version comes out and can log on it's own that'll be sweet. I guess I'll cope with plugging the mpvi2 into the laptop to pull the data.
Thanks for the hard work on these things.
I just got an MPVI2, and I did connect it to my win 10 laptop, but the editor will not read/write, it doesn't find it. It finds if if I plug it into the laptop with a USB cable just fine....Is bluetooth only for the monitor maybe?
