    VCM suite 4.4 with MPVI 1

    Gents,

    ive been running through this sub forum and am seeing a lot of people who seem to have had issues updating the firmware on their MPVI 1 with earlier releases of VCM suite rev 4. i just want to make sure that VCM V4.4 is still compatible with MPVI 1.

    I haven't updated my firmware since 3.2.7. as everything has worked great but i see there are a lot of new features seeing as how i am so back dated...but dont want to make my scanner or editor inoperable. im also running an AEM wideband and saw a comment in the VCM 4.4 release thread stating that they lost their AEM wideband recording ability.

    I kind of view this as why fix what isnt broke but that would also be like saying it from behind the keyboard of a windows XP LOL. thanks guys...ive kind of been out of the game for awhile. Also my two vehicles are an 2010 CTS-V and 04 Tahoe so im sure that there should be no issues running those PCMs with the MPVI 1 as i have been for years.

    Sorry if this topic has been posed already, i could really find these exact questions answered anywhere so thats what prompted me to create a thread.

    Yes, 4.4 is compatible with MPVI1 interfaces
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    Please let me know how you go, I have had similar reservations and as such, have remained at 3.6.26, but may be forced newer for vehicle support.

    Will do, I?ll probably get to it tomorrow or over the weekend. I have quite a few custom profiles that i want to save in my scanner and am worried that they will not be a direct import. Ill probably update one of my computers and leave the other on 3.2. Ill report back.

    That didnt work. MPVI failed the firmware update half way through and then proceeded to have the error light on the unit itself. thank god i had not updated my original 3.2 software on my other computer and it was able to restore the firmware on the MPVI 1 and brought it back to its original state.

    Bill any suggestions? drivers? firmware? .net framework, thank you Capture.PNG

    Brotha, im glad you chimed in. I was wondering what version you were on and was going to msg you about it. Does the version youre using have the FPCM cell able to be disabled? Thats really what im after most right now. Still running stock pumps but looking at either a BAP, after market pumps or both when i move up to E.

    Updated to 4.4.4 last night and did firmware update on MPVI1 interface and all is well and the scanner works just like it did in 4.2.12. No issues. I repolled before I scanned just to be sure nothing fell out.

    I update all my computers last week from 2.24 to 4.4x

    No issues with either my MPVI1 or MPVI2.

    Im getting into the habit of repolling each vehicle, and disconnecting from the scanner, but no issues on my MPVI1 updating firmware to 4.4x

    Im currectly updating my kids old laptops as spares.

    Updated my two tuning laptops last week, the one I did the firmware update for the MPVI1 seems to work fine but my other one doesn't recognize vehicle protocols and can't seem to resync the interface even though I can pull up the data from the device. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both 4.4x and the beta 4.5 and uninstalled all the drivers and used the latest download of drivers from the website with no luck. Rather annoying.

    Mods, what's up with this? We are stuck. I have the same issue. Tuner sent me a tune and it was written on 4.4 so I had to update. VCM tried updating my MPVI1 and it failed. Now I have an error light permanently light on the unit. Keep failing regardless. Has no one figured this out yet?

    i had that happen and had to go back to an older version to fix the error...it worked but still cant get 4.4 to work. i did update another machine with 4.4 but havent tried it due to being out of town for work.

    probably not until there is a resolution to the error...in my opinion anyways
