PIDS Unavailable When Datalogging w/ an RTD and VCM Scanner

If you are looking to datalog your vehicle and find yourself unable to select any PIDs to record, here's the solution.

Installing your MPT Tunes, before connecting your vehicle to the VCM Scanner, will cause the software not to read any PIDS, displaying each item as greyed out.
Example:
Installing your MPT Tunes


Follow these steps:
  • Disconnect from the vehicle
  • In the Tool Bar at the top of the window, click [Vehicle > Vehicle Profiles > Vehicle Editor]
  • Select your VIN and populate the User OS in both entry fields
    The User OS is your PCM/TCM strategies. If you do not know this info, open up your “Return-To-Stock.rtd” file in the RTD flasher, click on [Edit > Calibration Details] or by pressing Ctrl+D on your keyboard.
