What’s New in Tuning Tools? Ask the VIEZU Team Live
The professional tuning tool market is moving incredibly quickly.
New ECU and TCU protocols, new unlocking solutions, expanded Bench and OBD coverage, datalogging features and entirely new hardware have all arrived during 2026.
For professional tuners, keeping up with those developments is becoming just as important as owning the tools themselves.
Join us on Tuesday 13th October for a FREE live Q&A webinar dedicated to tuning tools and the VIEZU File Portal.
The session will bring together three members of the VIEZU senior team:
Paul Busby – CEO
Simon White – Managing Director
Ian Armstrong – Head of Sales & Commercial Operations
They’ll be discussing some of the latest tuning tool developments, looking at specific features and applications, explaining how the VIEZU File Portal works, and answering your questions live.
Tuesday 13th October 2026
5:00 PM UK time
Live online and FREE to attend
Why This Webinar Matters
Tuning tools have developed significantly during 2026.
ECUs that previously required specialist external unlocking can increasingly be accessed within the workshop. New OBD and Bench protocols are changing tuning workflows. Datalogging is becoming more closely integrated with tuning tools, and manufacturers continue to expand support for newer ECU and TCU platforms.
For a tuning business, these updates can directly affect which vehicles you can work on, how quickly you can complete a job and whether work needs to be outsourced.
The challenge is keeping track of it all.
This webinar gives you the opportunity to hear directly from the VIEZU team about the developments we’re seeing, understand how different features can be used in practice and ask questions about the tools or applications relevant to your own business.
What We’ll Be Discussing
The live session is expected to cover areas including:
- What’s new across the professional tuning tool market
- Important ECU and TCU protocol releases
- New developments in ECU unlocking
- OBD, Bench and Boot tuning
- Recent changes to vehicle and ECU coverage
- Tool-specific features and capabilities
- Datalogging and diagnostic functionality
- Master and Slave tuning tools
- Choosing the right tool for particular applications
- Understanding when different connection methods are required
- How new tool developments can affect workshop workflow
- Questions about current and future tuning tool investment
Because this is a live Q&A, the exact direction of the session will also be influenced by the questions submitted by attendees.
What the Session will Cover
Recent Tuning Tool Developments
There has been a lot happening in the tuning tool market during 2026.
Areas we’ll be able to discuss include recent developments across platforms such as:
- Alientech KESS3 and Unlock Module
- Magic Motorsport FLEX and Korhex
- AutoTuner
- Dimsport
- FormulaFlash
- StageX and related tuning software
Whether you’ve recently invested in a tool, are considering adding another platform or simply want to understand how the latest developments could affect your workshop, this session is an opportunity to ask.
Ask About Specific Tuning Tools
One of the main advantages of this webinar is that it isn’t limited to a single tool manufacturer.
You can bring questions about the tools you currently use, tools you’re considering purchasing or particular applications you’re trying to support.
That could include questions such as:
- Which tool supports a particular ECU?
- Is a vehicle available through OBD, Bench or Boot?
- What does a recent protocol update actually allow you to do?
- Do you need additional hardware or activations?
- What are the practical differences between competing solutions?
- Is Master or Slave the right option for your business?
- Which tool would complement the equipment you already own?
- How can you expand the range of vehicles you’re able to tune?
We’ll answer as many of these questions as possible during the session.
Understanding the VIEZU File Portal
The second major part of the webinar will focus on the VIEZU File Portal.
For tuners using VIEZU file-writing services, the portal is at the centre of the file request and delivery process.
We’ll explain how the system works and look at how to get the best from it.
Topics are expected to include:
- How to submit a tuning file
- Selecting the correct tuning request
- Providing vehicle and ECU information
- Adding relevant notes and requirements
- Communicating what the vehicle needs
- Managing your submitted files
- Receiving completed tuning files
- Requesting revisions or technical assistance
- Understanding the information our file writers need
- Helping to reduce delays and unnecessary back-and-forth
- Getting more from the VIEZU tuning file service
Why the Information You Submit Matters
A successful tuning file request begins with good information.
Vehicle specification, ECU details, modifications, diagnostic information and the customer’s requirements can all affect the calibration.
During the webinar, we’ll explain what information is useful to the file-writing team and how providing the right details at the start can make the process quicker and more straightforward.
Live Q&A with the VIEZU Team
This is not designed to be an hour-long sales presentation.
A significant part of the session will be dedicated to your questions.
You’ll have access to:
Paul Busby – CEO
Paul will be able to discuss the wider tuning industry, tool developments, the direction of professional tuning and the commercial considerations behind running a tuning business.
Simon White – Managing Director
Simon brings extensive practical and technical tuning experience and will be able to discuss tool functionality, ECU access, tuning workflows and technical applications.
Ian Armstrong – Head of Sales & Commercial Operations
Ian will be able to answer questions around tuning tool options, purchasing, activations, subscriptions, file services and choosing equipment appropriate for your business.
Together, the panel gives you the opportunity to ask technical, practical and commercial questions within the same live session.
