Connection Setup
Device Connection
Connect directly to your ECU via Bluetooth or USB
Logging & Recording
Configure and record ECU runtime data for later analysis
Cloud Sync Pro
Connected ECUs
Debug Settings
Debug level controls console logging. Trace adds low-level communication timing and enables the /trace stream.
Files
Tune File (MSQ)
Load or download your ECU tune file. Tuning data is automatically synchronised from your ECU on connection and restored from your last session.
Log File
Load a recorded log file (.msl or .mlg) for playback and analysis in the Graph and VE Analysis tabs.
ECU Definition (INI)
The correct INI file is downloaded automatically when you connect to a known ECU. Use this only if you need to load a custom or pre-release definition file manually.
Editor
Select a parameter from the sidebar to start tuning

App Settings
Focus Mode
Simplifies the interface to show only essential tuning settings (VE table, injector, spark, and starting). Hides advanced tabs and menus. Adds helpful descriptions to fields. Recommended for new users.
A signed-in account is required to turn Focus Mode off.
Appearance
Choose your preferred color theme or follow system settings.
Start Doctor
When enabled, a prompt appears after connecting to an ECU if the engine RPM is zero, offering to launch the Start Doctor. Uncheck to suppress the prompt.
ECU Writes
When enabled, changes are automatically written to permanent flash memory after each autosave (approximately every 5 seconds). This removes the need to click “Burn to ECU” manually. Disable this if you prefer to control exactly when changes are committed to flash.
External Sensors Pro
Records your position, speed, heading, and altitude alongside ECU data. Adds GPS channels to your gauges and logs automatically. Requires a VETuner Pro subscription and browser location permission.
Connects to a Shelly Pill via Bluetooth to read up to 5 DS18B20 temperature probes. Temperature channels appear in your gauges and logs automatically. Requires Chrome/Edge with Bluetooth support and a VETuner Pro subscription.
Disconnected
Connects to a USB GPS receiver via serial port for accurate position logging and faster update rates. Supports u-blox and NMEA-compatible receivers. Requires a VETuner Pro subscription.
Disconnected
Screen
Prevents the phone or tablet screen from turning off whilst the app is open. Recommended when logging on the move.
Dashboard
When enabled, the gauge dashboard automatically scales to fill the available window width. Disable this to keep gauges at their designed size and scroll horizontally on smaller screens.
ECU Settings
Configure ECU-specific settings defined in the INI file. Changes are applied immediately and stored locally.
Customize Realtime Display
Select which channels to show in the Realtime Display dialog. Changes are saved automatically and persist between sessions.
Subscription
VETuner Pro
A subscription unlocks Advanced Mode - real-time graphing, tooth logger, diff reports, and the full INI-driven menu system.
