EVC WinOLS Versus Alientech ECM- What software should I start out with when I am getting into tuning and ecu remapping ?
EVC WinOLS Versus Alientech ECM. What car tuning software to use is probably the most common questions we get. The information and videos below should help you understand the options a little more.
The first thing you must know is there is no right or wrong answer, as there is no one single car tuning software that tunes everything and meets everyone’s needs.
The truth is there is probably some must-have software, and without a doubt there is some very good software to carry out specific tasks or types of tuning and ecu remapping. But there is no silver bullet software – “the only car tuning software you have that does it all”. It’s not out there – well not at this time anyway.
The next thing you must know is because of the above, most master tuners will not limit themselves to just one software either be ready and prepared to run a number of different software and file editing solutions for tuning and tuning file creation.
There are two main options for general tuning and remapping software.
Alientech ECM software
Easy to use, cheap to use, with its free map packs and drivers. Alientech ECM Titanium makes for a very sensible place to start your tuning and map writing. And at just £995 with any master tool purchase (yearly licence £500) its good value too. Take a look at this Video to learn a little more about the Alientech ECM titanium master file writing software https://youtu.be/6lQ3uOrOd_w.
WinOLS Car Tuning Software
This is the daddy of map writing software. But be aware it is not so easy to use. WinOLS does not decode the files for you but gives you free access to do so yourself with access to all file areas, but its quite a bit more complicated to do – you can buy in decoded files from other users, which helps a lot when you are new, but there is, of course, a cost of this, many tuners will move onto WinOLS after learning the basics on something like ECM, price is £995 and there is no licence fee, here is a video on WinOLS that may make is use a little clearer https://youtu.be/oh-gVgesDaA.
Swiftec Car tuning software.
If you have heard of Swiftec it’s likely its ben associated with DTC delete and function deactivation. Fault code clearing and function deactivation in tuning is very commonly requested. I.e swirl flap delete, EGF, DPF, Speed limiter, AdBlue delete and deactivation etc.
Whilst some of this type of tuning and “deactivating” can be done with Alientech, and certainly, with WinOLS software, Swiftec would have to be considered as a very strong contender for being a specialist deactivation software – quick and easy to use – it’s the first reach for a solution in DTC tuning.
