    VIN Change

    Will HP ever support the option to change VIN in calibrations for transplants? That would be extremely helpful to have that option!!

    You have to license the entire Year/Model, then you can change the VIN.

    So once you spend $2000 or whatever it costs to license that controller then you can change the VIN number? that would make it cheaper to just go buy a new PCM and have the dealer flash it again

    For most Gen III and Gen IV vehicles, it's 6-12 credits or $300-600 to gain the functionality for the vehicle Make/Model you're working on.
