Become a Tuning Partner

Programming Network

Tools, training, tune files and support for automotive workshops and tuning dealers

Your Technical Partner Behind the Workshop

Who the partnership suits

Automotive workshops, tuning dealers and other vehicle service businesses that want to offer ECU tuning to their own customers. You don’t need prior tuning experience: if you can operate a laptop and locate the diagnostic port, we guide you through the rest.

As an Xtremetuning tuning partner, you receive timely and comprehensive support through setup, operations and execution so that you become a front end pro! As we develop you will also receive updates from us and together we will find solutions to challenges. As everything becomes more and more practiced you will see the growth potential for your business.

We are available through multiple communication channels and ideally will set up a whatsapp group so that images, videos and more efficient communication can be had when teaching and finding solutions. We also offer screen sharing through much of the early learning “hand holding” phase – you are never without support with Xtremetuning.

What each service includes

Tools

We help you choose the ECU programming tool that suits your work and experience level, and ship it to you. Our File Service works with a range of tools, so you are not locked into one, and as your business grows we can help you move to a different tool.

Training

We train you to read and write ECUs and to follow the tuning workflow. During the early learning phase we use screen sharing and, ideally, a WhatsApp group so photos and videos can be shared quickly. Our team has over 20 years of software programming experience, including the practical tips that only come with time.

Tune files

You upload the ECU file you have read to our File Service and we develop a tune file to your requirements. The File Service is also where you manage current jobs, use the job ticketing system and buy credits for jobs.

Support

Ongoing technical support by phone, WhatsApp and screen sharing, 7am–7pm Monday to Friday and 9am–2pm Saturday. You stay the expert at the front end; we work discreetly in the background and never take credit for your business’s success.

What can be tuned depends on the vehicle variant and model year, the ECU hardware and software, and other technologies involved. Applications we work with include:

Support hours

You keep your customers, your bookings and your pricing. We practise discretion and are not here to take any credit for what your business and brand achieve.

Getting Started

What you need: a laptop, a suitable ECU programming tool (we help you choose one) and a File Service account.

How the Workflow Fits Together

Step 1

Read ECU

Select the right ECU programming tool for the job, and read the ECU firmware from the vehicle.

Step 2

Upload File

Visit our File Service, create a new job and upload the ECU firmware that you just read out with your ECU programming tool.

Step 3

Download

We create a tune file based on your requirements and send out a notification email to you. You download the tune file and write it onto the vehicle’s ECU with the programming tool.
