WinOLS Software Guide: Introduction, Installation & Features | Automotive ECU Remapping Tutorial

When delving into the world of automotive ECU remapping, it's essential to be equipped with the best software to get the job done proficiently. Today, we introduce you to WinOLS, a paramount ECU remapping software that stands out from its counterparts.

Established by the esteemed EVC Electronic company, WinOLS has made its mark as one of the most sought-after tools for tuning experts across the globe.

A Sneak Peek into WinOLS
Unlike its counterpart, ECM Titanium, WinOLS requires an installation process and does not come bundled with hardware like a Dongle. For novices in the field, EVC Electronic generously offers a demo version named the WinOLS demo version. This facilitates newcomers to acquaint themselves with the software’s ecosystem and train efficiently.

How to Download WinOLS
Venture to the official EVC website and navigate to the downloads section to get your hands on the demo version. After downloading, follow the installation instructions as illustrated in our comprehensive video tutorial.

WinOLS Demo vs. Original
The demo version offers an extensive platform for practice, especially for those in the learning phase. However, it comes with certain limitations:

The demo lacks the checksum correction feature.
The primary difference is that any remapping done in the demo version doesn’t allow file exportation or saving. The original version, on the other hand, grants the privilege to save the remapped file, enabling you to write it on the ECU.

For our tutorial, we'll be demonstrating using the demo version. In terms of features and settings, rest assured, there’s negligible difference between the two.

Initial Setup & Features
To capitalize on the software's potential, it's imperative to configure a series of initial settings, which include:

Opening the ECU file and pinpointing tables within the software realm.
Mastering the utilization of the map pack and modifying tables.

Understanding WinOLS Map Pack
Map Pack, denoted with a .KP suffix, is a signature format in WinOLS. It's instrumental in determining factors like axis, dimensions, name, and map location, enabling a streamlined remapping process.

File Comparison in WinOLS
One standout feature of WinOLS is its capability to juxtapose two files, ensuring accuracy and precision in tuning.
