LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Hypertech Tuner Wrong One?

I have to get a PC to do that, but glad to hear it is that simple. I don't know how I missed that it isn't Mac compatible! Thanks, I'll try that today.

whats the part number......does it work on the 12 model?

You are correct. The Hypertech tuner that works for the '08 will not work on the '12 because of some software changes Chrysler made along the way. I think if your KK has the ECO light on the dash, it is too new for the current Hypertech tuner. Many folks have written to Hypertech to request support for the newer KK's. If enough people do, then they may support it.

(Gageraid, correct me if I am wrong, because I do not have a Hypertech and I am going by what I have read on the forum.)

Got it installed...darn! She's a lot more fun to drive now. :shock:

I just tried to install my Hypertech Econ Tuner. The part number and serial numbers are correct, but when I plug it in to the port it says it isn't for my vehicle. It says on the sticker it is for 04 and up Jeeps, but when plugged in it says for 02-08 Dodges. Is it as simple as the website says to update to the right program? How do I know if the tuner is the right one or mislabeled? I have to get my hands on a PC since the software isn't Mac compatible.

Correct me if you did this already. First thing is first if you get that error is to load up the cd on to your computer. Next, highlight the right vehicle. Update the Hypertech tuner, then install on the Jeep.

Also, if it doesn't load the cd, you can download the update software on their website. Just a reminder, make sure everything is shut off before you start installing. Interrupting it will make you start over.

It is 53501 and I think it will. You'll probably just have to add your Liberty specifically. Go to hypertech.com and you can put your specs in. It's awesome!

It's not the ECO, that was added in '09 or '10 I think. they did change something in the software in '11 for the last two years.

At this point, it seems like Hypertech won't make one for the newer KK's. I hope they prove me wrong and do it for the guys that want it.
