HP Tuners: Regular or Pro??

I was wondering which version of HP Tuners everyone went with. I would like to know if the Pro is worth the extra money, or is the regular version good enough. Thanks for any input.

Question MPVI Std and MPVI Pro (Enhanced IO) Interface Differences
We sell 2 hardware models with our VCM Suite package.

What does the MPVI Pro interface allow me to do?
With our Pro interface, you can use 0-5v signals from various sensors such as EGT, Wide Band, fuel pressure and others for sensor input in our scanner. You will have real time data from those sensors right next to your standard scan tool data such as TPS, RPM, MPH, etc.

Our MPVI Pro interface also has black box data logging built in. What this means is you are able to scan your vehicle without the use of a laptop using the interfaces record button. You can then take the interface into your home to transfer the log contents from the interface to the computer. If you have an MPVI Pro it will require no hardware modification. Also note that VCM Scanner comes with both interfaces regardless as it is part of our VCM Suite package.

Can I buy a wide band sensor and simply plug it in?
No. You need a wide band kit that supplies a 0-5v output. You will plug the output from your wide band controller into our interface.

How many external devices can I have?
We have provisions for 4 external devices that use a 0-5v output signal.

I am a current customer with VCM Suite but I want the new MPVI Pro interface, how do I buy it?

Also HP Pro has outputs that can control functions. It could be used to run a boost bypass valve or other things.

So this means....what?

Standard will only allow you to view and edit PCM

Pro will let you do standard things and connect other devices such as boost guage and AFR gauge and read them on HP Tuner software?

Correct. You can still scan with the Reg edition but you cannot have any analog inputs, such as a wideband. Also, the black box data recording feature is nice because you don't always have to have a laptop with you.

MPVI Pro is the way to go. Way more flexibility for tuning via wideband if you wanted.
I have one that's barely used with 6 of the 8 original credits left. Transfer of ownership is easy and fully endorsed by HP Tuners (they go above and beyond to make sure the transfer goes smooth). I hate to part with it after no really getting all I could out of it but I had to sell my car earlier this year. No use for it now. Let me know if you're interested.
