This guide details everything you need to know about our Autotuner Tuning Start Up Kits available from Autotuner Tools. You will learn the specific differences between the 2 Autotuner starter kits available: Start Up Kit vs Complete Start Up Kit. We will cover what each kit includes, such as the hardware, slave protocols and Autotuner accessories. We also explain the financial benefits of these Autotuner bundles, the 25% saving off RRP and how the subscription-free model of Autotuner can benefit your tuning business.
Understanding the Autotuner Tool

Before we get into the Autotuner start kits, it is worth explaining why so many tuners use the Autotuner tool.
Autotuner is the all-in-one solution for professional ECU and TCU tuning. Autotuner supports OBD, Bench and Boot modes right out of the box and it reads and writes ECUs quickly, performs real-time data logging and can return a vehicle to stock if needed.
The most significant advantage of the Autotuner tuning tool is how much it costs because Autotuner does not require any subscription fees. This means that you always have access to the latest protocols and features without paying an annual subscription fee just to keep your Autotuner tuning tool working. For a new business that is watching its cash flow, this is a massive advantage. Another reason why the Autotuner tool is so popular is because the company invests heavily in research and development (R&D), because of this they often crack ECUs before anyone else in the market.
Comparing Our Autotuner Tuning Start-Up Kits
We offer two different Autotuner tuning start up kits. We have carefully designed these to give you everything you need, while saving you money. When you look at the Autotuner start up kits price for either option, you will see you save around 25% off the RRP compared to buying all of the items included individually.
Option One: Autotuner Tuning Start Up Kit
This Autotuner kit is perfect if you are a mobile tuner or a garage that already has some basic diagnostic gear. It gives you the core essentials to start tuning safely without paying for extras you might already own.
- The Hardware: You get the genuine Autotuner hardware which allows you to connect via OBD, Bench or Boot.
- The Protocols: Includes Autotuner Slave Protocols for comprehensive vehicle coverage.
- Safety Gear: A Professional Battery Stabiliser is included. Do not try to tune without one of these. Maintaining stable voltage is critical to avoid damaging an ECU.
- Revenue Generators: 5 Tuning File Credits are included. Since you can charge customers for these tunes, this effectively puts money back in your pocket from day one.
- Training & Support: Access to online tuning courses (for convenience) or in-person tuning training (for hand-on experience) and live technical support.
- Investment: £2,325 (+VAT). Finance is available from £32 per week.
Option Two: Autotuner Complete Tuning Start Up Kit
The Autotuner Complete tuning business start up kit is designed for new entrepreneurs who want to hit the ground running with a fully professional tuning setup. It includes all of the key accessories along with branded workwear so you look professional from your first car tune.
- All Core Features: Includes everything from Option One (Hardware, Slave Protocols, Stabiliser).
- Enhanced Revenue: You receive 10 Tuning File Credits. That is double the earning potential immediately.
- Diagnostic Capability: Includes a Simple Diagnostic Tool. You need to check a car for faults before you tune it to protect yourself from liability. This tool lets you do that.
- Operational Extras: A 25m Extension Lead is included. While you can buy autotuner accessories separately later, having this included ensures you can reach vehicles parked awkwardly from day one.
- Professional Branding: Includes a VIEZU Approved Polo Shirt and Jacket.
- Investment: £2,775 (+VAT). Finance is available from £39 per week.

Exploring Autotuner Tuning Start Up Kits Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really no subscription fee with Autotuner?
Yes, really. Unlike many other professional tools, Autotuner gives you lifetime free updates with no hidden costs. When a new protocol for a 2025 BMW comes out, you get it for free.
What happens if I run into a problem while tuning a car?
If you purchase your Autotuner kit from us, you are never alone. Our technical support team is available by phone and online to help you with any issues you might face. Whether it is a software query or a problem with a specific vehicle, we are here to support you.
Can I upgrade to an Autotuner Master tool from a Slave later?
Yes, you can upgrade from an Autotuner Slave to a Master Autotuner Tool. The Autotuner tuning business start up kits described above are based on the Autotuner Slave Tuning Tool, which is the most popular route for start-ups as it is cheaper and uses our expert file service. However, if you eventually want to write your own files, you can upgrade to an Autotuner Master Tuning Tool. If cost is a barrier to upgrading, ask our team about autotuner master finance options to spread the cost.
