ECU Connect vs Nextbase

IMPORTANT This app requires an EcuTek Bluetooth Vehicle Interface to connect to your car's ECU. These are available from EcuTek Tuners. Find your nearest one at www.ecutek.com/dealers. If you don't have an interface, run the demo mode within the app to see ECU Connect in action. ECU Connect is the free companion app to the new pocket-size Bluetooth Vehicle Interface produced by specialist tuning firm EcuTek Technologies. Once you have purchased your EcuTek Vehicle Interface, plug it into your car's OBD vehicle diagnostic socket, pair it with your phone in the app and you will open up a whole new world of enjoyment with your car. With ECU Connect, you can receive and program in a tuned file from one of our EcuTek Master Tuners just with your phone. No laptop, no wires, no fuss. Just create an account in the app, select the tuner you want to work with, and you are ready to receive the tuned file. Discuss with your tuner what you want to achieve from the tune and once the file has been created, you will receive a notification that the file is ready. Go to Program ECU, select the file and follow the on-screen instructions. It's as easy as that. All that's left is for you to enjoy the car!
