Selecting the appropriate chip tuning tool is crucial for successful chip tuning. A number of factors, including vehicle compatibility, protocols included, pricing, support, and logging, must be taken into consideration while choosing a chip tuning tool.
In our view, the Autotuner is a superior chip tuning tool that caters primarily to newer German cars. The tool's logging function is impressive, covering a wide range of vehicles. Logging vehicles after a tune ensures that the tune functions as intended, without compromising the vehicle's performance. If older vehicles and certain Japanese brands are on the agenda, the KessV3 or a combination of the Autotuner and PCM flash should be considered.
One significant advantage of the Autotuner is the absence of yearly fees. However, we believe that the absence of yearly fees limits their ability to provide technical support when you need it most.

The Autotuner is one of the best tuning tools for newer German vehicles.
When it comes to chip tuning, having the right tool is essential. There are several factors to consider when choosing a chip tuning tool, such as vehicle compatibility, protocols included, pricing, support, and logging. In our opinion, the Autotuner is an excellent chip tuning tool for those who mainly focus on newer German cars.
Vehicle Compatibility
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a chip tuning tool is its compatibility with the vehicles you plan to tune. The Autotuner is a powerful tool for German vehicles newer than 2014. However, it doesn't have a good selection of trucks, bikes, and agricultural vehicles. If you are looking to tune a wide variety of cars, bikes, trucks, and agricultural vehicles, the KessV3 is a better choice.
Protocols Included
The protocols are the licenses that allow you to read and write files to an ECU. The Autotuner offers both OBD and bench tuning in one tool. It gives you an excellent of tunable vehicles that can either be done through the OBD port or on the bench. The Autotuner doesn't offer the option to purchase additional protocols. All the protocols come standard in the tools once off fee. The Autotuner has an excellent selection of protocols for newer German cars, but if you're considering tuning cars pre-2014, with some Toyotas, Isuzus, etc, then the Autotuner is not the best tuning tool for you.
Pricing
The Autotuner comes in a master or slave version. The master has a once-off fee of €4500 while the slave unit is €2900. There are no yearly fees which is why the Autotuner is one of the most popular tuning tools on the market.
Support
Autotuner does offer support, but in some cases, it's not as good as the support offered by Alientech, the company that produces KessV3. Autotuner doesn't have any yearly fees, which impacts their ability to offer support.
Logging
One of the major advantages of the Autotuner is its ability to log vehicles. The tool can read live data from the ECU for a variety of brands, allowing you to monitor engine performance and ensure that it is running at its optimal level. Access to vehicle logs is crucial to ensure that your vehicle's tune is safe and functions as intended. Without logs, you will never be able to offer truly custom work, especially when it comes to stage 3 cars.
Conclusion
In summary, the Autotuner is an excellent chip tuning tool for those who mainly focus on newer German cars. However, if you are looking to tune a wide variety of cars, bikes, trucks, and agricultural vehicles, the KessV3 is a better choice. The Autotuner's ability to log vehicles is a significant advantage, as it allows you to monitor engine performance and ensure that your vehicle's tune is safe and functions as intended. Another major benefit of the Autotuner is no yearly fees.
