Unlocked for HP Tuners
HP Tuners can read most locked modules but can't write a tune to them until they're unlocked. Ship us the module and it comes back ready for VCM Editor.
Locked controllers HP Tuners lists
- GM E41 ECM (2017+ L5P Duramax)
- GM E90 ECM (2019 to 2022 trucks with the 5.3L L84 or 6.2L L87)
- GM E93 ECM (2020 to 2023 6.6L gas HD trucks, and 2021.5 1500s with the 5.3L)
- GM T93 TCM (2019+ 8- and 10-speed, non-Global A/B)
- Ford MD1 ECM (2020 to 2021 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke)
- GM E99 ECM (2019+ Corvette ZR1)
- 2015+ Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep PCMs
Good news for GM 8- and 10-speeds: since November 2025, HP Tuners tunes the T87A TCM over OBD with no unlock.
What you still need
- Your HP Tuners MPVI interface and VCM Suite
- Credits or a license for the vehicle, bought in your HP Tuners account
- For 2018+ Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep: HP Tuners' access cable, since the gateway blocks writing even with an unlocked PCM

Emissions
Unlocks are for emissions-legal tuning and for off-road or competition vehicles where that's allowed. We don't write delete tunes, and we don't disable emissions equipment.
HP Tuners, VCM Suite, MPVI and EFILive are trademarks of their owners. Ship To The Lab is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Unlocks start at $199. If the controller goes through HP Tuners' own unlock or upgrade program, that fee is listed on your quote.
- Price confirmed before you ship
- Original data saved before any work
- Tracked return shipping
- 90-day workmanship warranty
Common questions
Do I still need HP Tuners credits?
Yes. An unlock lets the tuning software write to the module. It doesn't license the vehicle. Your tuner still buys credits or a license in their software as usual.
Will HP Tuners be able to read and write it right away?
Yes. Once it's installed, connect your MPVI and it should read and write like any unlocked module. If it doesn't, email us your VCM Scanner error and we'll sort it out.
Can you send me an already-unlocked module instead?
On some platforms, yes. Ask when you order. Send your original with a used module and we can clone and unlock it so it's plug-and-play.
Do you do delete tunes?
No. We don't do emissions-defeat programming, and we don't unlock modules for that purpose.
Are you part of HP Tuners or EFILive?
No. We're an independent ASE-certified shop. We unlock and program modules so they work with the tuning software you already use.
Related
Send the original if you have it. With your original and the replacement together, most modules can be cloned plug-and-play on our bench. If the original is gone, mail-in programming is available on supported applications, but some setups (security, immobilizer or network initialization) have to be finished with the vehicle present. We'll tell you before you ship.
