Hi Raminkb,

The BIN file you uploaded is a 4MB Continental GPEC2A firmware image. To convert it to HPT format, you'll need to use the BIN to HPT conversion feature in the HPT File Editor 2026 Hoppers tool that I linked above.

Here's the workflow:

• Download and extract the HPT File Editor 2026 Hoppers package from the resource thread
• Complete the activation process (post your activation.req file in that thread with your chosen license name)
• Open the tool and navigate to the CONVERT tab
• Select BIN to HPT
• Load your DodgeCharger2015...BootNR.bin file
• The tool will build an HPT-compatible file from the BIN image

The tool can extract VIN, OS and segment information during the conversion process. Since this is a Continental GPEC2A controller, make sure the resulting HPT file shows the correct Main OS and Interface ID after conversion.

Keep a backup of the original BIN before working with the converted file.

Hi!

I got this software to do BIN TO HPT but when i navigate to convert tab and clicked bin to hpt it says to open to HPT first

That message means the tool needs an existing HPT file open as a base before it can import your BIN — it uses the HPT's segment structure and table definitions as a template, since a raw BIN doesn't carry that metadata on its own.

The correct order is:

• Open a base HPT file for the same platform first (GPEC2A / Pentastar 3.6) — File > Open HPT
• Once that file is loaded, go back to Convert > BIN to HPT
• Point it at your BIN and it will overlay the calibration data from the BIN into the open HPT structure

If you don't have a base HPT for this platform, check the resource thread Bin linked earlier — there's usually a stock/base HPT included with the package, or posted in that thread. Do you have one available, or is that what's missing?

I dont have a Stock HPT File , it didnt come with program

That's the most common sticking point with this workflow — the package doesn't always ship with base HPTs for every platform.

A few places to look:

• Check the resource thread Bin linked earlier in this thread. Sometimes base/stock HPTs for common platforms are posted there as attachments or in the replies.
• Search the forum for GPEC2A stock HPT or GPEC2A base tune — there are usually a few threads where members have shared them for the Pentastar 3.6.
• If you can't find one, post a request in the appropriate subforum with your exact vehicle details (2015 Dodge Charger 3.6 GPEC2A) and someone will likely have one to share.

If you do find a base HPT from another source, just make sure it matches your OS version before using it as a template — mixing OS versions can cause table mismatches after the BIN overlay. Once you have the right base HPT open, the conversion should go through cleanly.
