Hello everyone
I've been researching & learning about tuning for the past 2 weeks. It really feels like early 90s/2000s when the internet was new and you had simple HTML pages, not that much resource on [insert topic] etc. It's really hard to find any specific information. A lot of people both in forums & videos use a lot of jargons and abbreviations, which makes it hard to understand what's happening for a beginner.
I bought obdlink mx+ for Tunerpro RT. Got the idea from an old video where the guy uses this setup to tune his car. Today, I was watching a video where the tuner uses VCM scanner & editor to monitor vehicle's performance and adjust the ECU's parameters. I know HP Tuners has this dumb credit system, which is whole another can of worms in and on itself, but my questions is regarding the VCM.
1) Can I use already bought obdlink mx+ to connect VCM with vehicle?
2) If not, what can I hardware do I need?
3) Am I forced to buy MPVI 2+? Are there any alternatives?
4) Once I connect VCM scanner/editor to the vehicle, do I need to buy credits in order to tune the car?
Thanks!
