• Welcome

Welcome to the TunerPro,com. TunerPro is a free, donate-if-you-like-it tuning platform aimed at making tuning easier and cheaper. TunerPro started life in early March of 2003 and was originally created to tune GM vehicles between model years 1985 and 1995. TunerPro has since grown into a very robust tuning tool and is evolving faster than ever. This project started as an "educational" project with a few simple goals: It should be available for free in its essence, it should be better than whats available in its class, it should remain as simple as possible to use, and it should be fun for me to develop. TunerPro will continue to grow and evolve. I hope to continue to add support for other automobile (and maybe non-automobile?!) platforms out there. Please stay tuned!

I will continue to develop and improve TunerPro for as long as it is fun and as long as there is interest, support, and feedback.

TunerPro supports GM OBDI (pre-96), Ford EECIV and EECV, and late model Subaru (WRX) vehicles. Definitions may be created for many other applications with more to come! I'm currently aware of some users experimenting with Porsche, Nissan, DSM (Mitsubishi) and Volkswagen.

Please explore TunerPro's features for yourself!

3/16/08 - New TunerPro 4.14 build available

I fixed a couple of minor issues, including the Internet update feature (it now connects correctly), and an issue with the Function item editor.

10/22/07 - New TunerPro 4.14 build available

I fixed an issue that was causing much confusion - the ALDL cable test utility in preferences now works correctly. I also fixed a 3D rendering bug and a couple of other minor bugs in the emulation RAM to file utility.

8/31/07 - Registration keys will not be sent between 9/1 and 9/18 2007

Sorry for the inconvenience. Registrations received during that period will be fulfilled on 9/19.

6/17/07 - New TunerPro 4.14 build available, and new EmUtility build available.

There are lots of fixes in this TunerPro release, including many that I can't remember since it's been so long.

There are 2 main changes in the new Emutility build (1.0.0076.0): There were a number of bugs around large binary support that were fixed, and when choosing large binary, the emulation bank is persisted rather than just temporary. With older builds, as soon as the Ostrich is powered down, it would revert to the previous (potentially non 4-Mbit) bank.

5/14/07 - New EmUtility build

Only one change here that fixes a processor spike while monitoring a file for changes.

8/26/06 - TunerPro 4.14 available

One or two major and lots of minor fixes in this release.

4/11/06 - New utility available for download: EmUtility

EmUtility can be used to emulate using any editor, even notepad or your favorite hex editor! Check it out here.

4/4/06 - The TunerPro web site has a new home!

http://www.tunerpro.net is now the official home of TunerPro. Update your bookmarks! (In case you forget, the old links will still work too). The forum is now at http://forum.tunerpro.net.

2/23/06 - TunerPro v4.13.0400 released

A major fix for AutoProm and Translator Pro users is in this build, as well as the addition of audible verification for emulation actions and hardware detection.

2/12/06 - TunerPro v4.13.0360 released

A number of fixes for the Ford and Subaru guys, and a couple that affect the GM folks as well. Check it out in the downloads section!

1/14/06 - TunerPro version 4.13 released!

Complete Ford EECIV/EECV support is included in this release (2 definitions are up in the downloads section of this site).

1/08/06 - Happy New Year! Version 4.13 coming out very soon...

Included in 4.13 is a number of bug fixes and new features, including 3D axis unit labels, FULL Ford support including internal axis definitions with normalizer linking, XDF item copying for rapid definition development. Look for the release in the next few days!

11/27/05 - Version 4.12 released with new 2D/3D graphs and MANY new features!

Finally, after far too long, I've kicked 4.12 out the door. Lots of new features, including brand new graphing controls (with auto-scaling, surface shading, etc). Also included in this release is the long awaited fix to AutoProm 160 baud datalogging (in AutoProm mode, used for simultaneous emulation and logging).

Also added was table smoothing funcionality. Look for it in the Table Editor Toolbox.

Finally, ALDL data tracing was implemented in a rather "infant" form. The included 6E xdf and ads files are already linked. Download a sample ALDL datalog here and check it out!

6/13/05 - New 4.0 RT and Free build (again!)

Build 3472 is now available with a number of fixes and a new feature or two.

5-23-05 - New 4.0 RT and Free Build, new features!

I just uploaded a new build with improved stability, many new table editor features (colored cells, translatable range selection, etc). Check it out!

4-17-05 - TUNERPRO 4.0 RT & FREE NOW AVAILABLE!

It's taken me far too long to get 4.0 out the door, but here it is! Long awaited and very much worth the wait!

There are tons of improvements and new features in 4.0, including a new bin definition format (called XDF) that is easily extensible for future improvements, toolbars, ALDL functionality integration into the main editor window, more ALDL monitors, an ALDL dashboard, table range selection and copy/paste, Moates Ostrich emulation bank selection (with proper firmware), improved list sizing, improved Moates Prom I/O interface, and much, much more.

In case you're interested, TunerPro 4.0 is 45,500 lines of raw code (not including comments). And that doesn't include code re-writes and revisions, of which there have been many. Maybe registering wouldn't be so bad? =)

In the interest of getting this thing out, I actually had to cut a lot of features I wanted to get into 4.00 before release. Rest assured, there's much more coming.

Check it out for yourself! Download version 4.0 here!

Development and Other Info

TunerPro is developed in C++ Win32 API (without MFC/ATL/COM) in a Visual Studio 2005 Pro environment (IDE & Compiler) on WinXP. As of 1/8/06, TunerPro in its entirety, including all custom controls, is comprised of 54,046 lines of code (not including comments or white space). The source code is not available so, although I appreciate the interest, please don't ask for it.

I'm certainly not the best developer out there, but I enjoy learning from my experiences while writing the GMECM Edit/TunerPro applications. Your feedback and support is always appreciated and encouraging.

I own a 1989 Trans Am, 1227165 ECM, 6E mask. I like to think I know lots about my car. I know for sure that I know much less about other setups, so please consider other resources before asking me (personally) questions about your particular (different) setup. I might have an answer, but its probably not the best. See the resources/links and community pages on this web site.
