4. No Forced MPVI3 Migration
If you still use an original MPVI (with the red USB cable) or an early MPVI2, version 5.x will constantly nag you to upgrade your hardware. Version 4.12.4 treats all legacy hardware with equal respect. It was the last great version before the "hardware sunset" began. hp tuners 4.12.4

Quick recommendation

The Verdict
HP Tuners 4.12.4 is a reliability patch, not a revolution. For 99% of users, it fixes more than it breaks. The improved 10R140 logic alone is worth the download for Ford diesel tuners, while the scanner memory leak fix is a godsend for long data logging sessions on the dyno.
