XirDecoder Update: View Live ECU Tuning Modifications

With the upcoming update, XirDecoder chip tuning software is introducing several important improvements. Previously, users would only receive a warning on the tuning page indicating that a file was not original. With the new update, after a file is uploaded on the main page, a new report screen will be available where users can view in detail which operations have already been applied to the file.

On this screen, users will be able to see all functions live, such as:

Which DTC codes have been disabled

• Whether STAGE1, STAGE2, VMAX, LAUNCH CONTROL, POPBANG, and HARDCUT have been applied
• Whether systems such as EGR, DPF, SCR, LAMBDA, TVA, FLAPS, MAF, OPF/GPF, CAT, NOX, and START-STOP are fully disabled

New options will also be introduced soon, and these will be shared with you before the update release date. For all current and upcoming options, users will be able to see exactly what has been done to the file in a transparent and detailed way. In short, with this update, everyone will be able to clearly see what modifications have been applied to a file in real time. This effectively enables a full file inspection, addressing the current issue where many users cannot determine whether a file is original or which modifications were previously applied.

As a second major feature, after writing a file while applying a solution, an information screen will be provided, outlining the required procedures that must be followed afterward.

We will share more details about the update soon. At the moment, our developers are actively revising all tables.

Finally, please note that a 25% price increase will be applied to all products, effective from the first week of 2026. There will be no price increase for annual license renewals.
