    Which version of the software are you using (2.24 or 3.0)? And are you sure you have the same version on both device (the exact same version)?

    What version of HPT are you using on both laptops?

    There's no change in what you can scan. If you just switched to the new V3 version of HP Tuners software then you will be able to tune MORE cars as a lot of new models have been added, but you will not lose any compatibility with older models.
    Post a log and tune if you want help
