Softechpro vs Autotuner
Great for reading ECUs — pair it with Softechpro to edit the file.
What is Autotuner?
Autotuner is primarily a flashing/programming tool for reading and writing ECUs on bench, boot and OBD. It reads and writes the file; the actual map/service editing is a separate step.
Where it shines: Strong, fast hardware for reading and writing a wide range of ECUs.
Why Softechpro Solutions is the more advanced choice
- Softechpro is the software that edits the file Autotuner reads — they are complementary.
- Automatic DPF / EGR / AdBlue / DTC off and Stage on the read file, then flash back with Autotuner.
- Automatic checksum correction so the file Autotuner writes is valid.
- Works with any flashing tool (KESS, KTAG, MPPS, bench, OBD).
- €1.99 25-Hour Real Software Test (up to 10 ECU files + 3 FREE Credits worth €30.00 that never expire).
