totally depends on price and features...

The software has been around for years but isn't all that popular since its not free like he other solutions like ecuflash. There was a lot of hullabaloo because ecuedit is based off original open source work and they started charging for it.

It will likely support the editing needed for retunes but no real advanced features like Ecutek has.

There's already some tuners using it, it has d4s support and per gear rev limiter etc but I don't know what other features.

Out of curiosity, which tuners?

I'm curious to see what features will be available and pricing as well. Any current users/testers care to chime in?

Most open source tuners should be able to tune with it. But with the features and fast advancement of Ecutek, this seems a bit antiquated.

For clarification, this won't be able to re-tune tune-files from ECUtek tuners, correct?

That will depend on what file extension is used, I would imagine.

For example, on my older Nissan I can use any of the tuning software available to me to modify my tune because they all have the capability of editing a .bin file. However, if you don't use the same address file to open the tune with then you won't have the ability to modify/read all the same parameters. But they all will be able to modify the same basic tables like VE, Fuel, Timing maps and the K Value, Latency, and Rev Limit.

No Ecutek uses a proprietary encrypted binary format.

I believe Ecuedit uses an XML file which is plaintext but don't quote me on that. With ecuedit the tunes are basically open for anyone to share or use, you are just paying for the software.

The software used to be like $150 and the cable is $169 right now. Ecutek is 200 plus the cable, but you HAVE to pay for a tune, you can't just have your friend send you one, unless your friend is a licensed ecutek tuner.

Competition is good for the consumer. I'll leave it at that.

arghx7 12-27-2012 05:44 PM

This will succeed if it allows affordable self-tuning and/or undercuts the price for the "I just need some way to load somebody else's tune" market

It can't try to beat ECUtek at its own game, because ECUtek got there first.

xwd 12-27-2012 06:46 PM

The $150 version was also the one which letss you edit maps and has more advanced features, the version that lets you just flash was like $50.

Exactly. ECUTek is an awesome piece of software, but is way more powerful than a lot of consumers need/want. Many will pay for it now because it's the only option.

The people selling tunes would be crazy not to adopt this as well. They will sell a whole lot more tunes if the initial cost is cut in half.
