But which is best the Alientech Kess or the Autotuner?

Let’s take a look at each of them in turn.

Autotuner:

A new tuning tool, Autotuner, rose to prominence. Tuners all over the world have enjoyed using the Autotuner since it was launched in 2019. Due in part to the fact that initially it offered OBD tuning on some BMW and Mercedes vehicles that was not available on other devices.

Moreover, Autotuner does not require a license, so running costs are reduced. This, along with the device’s ability to operate both on a bench and with an OBD. One of the strongest facets of the device is the combination of tuning methods in one device.

It has a fast processor! Autotuner is undoubtedly one of the fastest tuning tools on the market. It can save you a lot of time in the tuning process. It means you need to be connected to the vehicles for a shorter period of time. Therefore, you are less exposed to risk.

Alientech Kess 3:

Experience and knowledge come with age.  For the past decade, Alientech has pretty much dominated the tuning tool market. For many years, tuning professionals have used the Kess as their go-to tool. It was certainly time for a change since the Kess V2 was looking rather slow and out of date. . .

Among all tuning tools on the market, Alientech has the largest number of applications. This isn’t limited to the latest models. It offers a huge collection of vehicles going back to 1999. Alientech Kess is also extremely popular internationally. In addition to covering a wide range of European vehicles, USA, Asian, and other global vehicles.

It boasts the largest fastest processor used anywhere in tuning at 7 times faster than its predecessor

A very strong consideration is also Alientech technical support. Every tuner will experience some difficulties from time to time. A loose cable, a malfunctioning laptop, or even a problem with the vehicle itself could be to blame. In times like these, you need to know that your tool manufacture has your back. When you get in a bind, Alientech’s support service is one of the fastest and most helpful in the industry.

Is there a winner?

Which is best Alientech Kess 3 or Autotuner tuning tool. Ultimately some of this will come down to personal choice. A little like cars, is BMW better than Mercedes, everyone will have an opinion.

The Autotuner is fast and has no yearly license. Though the API charge is proving to be unpopular with some master operators. Alientech has great coverage, a big support team, and there is no charge to use the API. However, the tool does have a yearly subscription. Many tuners would say the support and vehicle coverage is worth the subscription fee. But that of course is the choice we must all make.

Final thoughts…….. in truth, most professional tuners will go on to operate a number of tuning tools. No one system is all encompassing. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. And for this reason, its always good to have options. If one tool will not cover the car you are working on. Its just great to have a second option to reach for. And so to throw you a curved ball. You may also want to consider the Magic Motorsport tuning tool as a third option.

So perhaps not that answer new tuners want to hear. But may be the real answer is run 2 different tuning tools to give you the best of both worlds?
