    need a 2024-2025 Mustang GT - Dark Horse

    Now that it's official the big news that the 2024-2025 Mustangs can be tuned,
    I'm asking anyone who can to upload a readout so we can analyze the stock file.

    Thank you very much!

    I thought I was... I just downloaded. It asks me to specify the PCM hardware? I specify MG1CS036, it seems to read a bit, asks me turn off, then back on, which I do. Then it just hangs there... Haven't been able to read or use the 4 universal credits I just bought...

    Do you have to pull the ECM and send it to HPT like the 21+ F150?

    Have been talking to techs... 5.1.4620 made a little more progress reading, but then boinked again after on/off request... Hopefully the fixes will just keep coming...

    Seems like they're having issues with the MPVI3, I've been back and forth with them all day updating the software and trying over and over, it gets about 4% further into the read before failing now. I wouldn't count on any more progress made today, their staff has likely gone home by now.

    Just pulled a file off my bronco, I know not a mustang, but does have the MG1 computer as well and they just dropped support for it today. I saw 2 different MG1 that were able to be chosen from the dropdown when trying to do the initial read. Maybe the wrong one was selected? I don't have a 2024 mustang on hand to verify, I pulled that bronco file with a MPVI2+ also though so it could be something with the 3 like they said above

    I will be testing that soon enough with my '21 F150 2.7 eco. I am hesitant to buy credits due to this not working for Mustang folks, but if you pulled it successfully off a bronco I would assume it will pull it off the ecoboost.

    Anyway, here's the file I keep in my misc. folder. I looked at this file once when I first received it. Never again. From what I can recall is, it is the 24 model because of the twin TB's in the calibration.
    Check it out. May not even be a Dark Horse. May be a manual GT. I never dug enough into it to care to try to learn it, with not being able to use it. LMK if anyone actually knows and can confirm it with a similar read you pull off.

    I posted that stock read in the ecoboost section if you are wanting to look at it prior to doing anything with that F-150 to see the controller info and everything
