We are building our own car app, JVK Bro – diagnostics in your pocket, for everyone. Live vehicle data, fault-code reading with plain-language explanations, ECU block monitoring. Plenty of exciting news is coming.
Live data
Dashboard, every sensor and the car's topology in real time – straight off the bus.
Faults in plain words
Not just a P2448 code, but an explanation: what happened and why. No googling.
Monitoring
The app logs ECU data blocks and reference sensors for later analysis.
For everyone
Not only for mechanics – for any owner who wants to understand their car.
What's next: the app is in active development. Soon – details, early access and a lot more about how JVK Bro changes diagnostics for the everyday driver.
ECU PRO X – NEW VERSION
Our professional ECU file editor has grown. ECU PRO X now works with firmware maps visually, ships one-click ready solutions and a huge file marketplace that we keep updating and expanding. More at ecuprox.com

And that's not all: we are preparing big news for September 1st – we'll announce it very soon. Stay tuned.
WHO CAME TO US
A premium month – flagships in the shop
July turned out luxurious. A Mercedes S 450 4MATIC (367 hp), a BMW 640i xDrive GT, a Porsche Cayenne Diesel and an Audi A8 4.2 TDI V8. Big engines, serious electronics – and a clear torque gain where the factory had capped it to protect the gearbox.
Rare guests – not only Germans
Beyond the usual German trio, July brought Japanese and Korean cars: Isuzu D-Max, Kia Sportage, Toyota Avensis, Honda CR-V. But the percentage record went to the little VW Polo 1.6 TDI: from 90 to 143 hp – plus 59%. Factory detuning for a tax bracket is exactly where the headroom sits.
20 cars on the dyno
Every third Stage 1 job in July was measured on the load dyno – before and after. Real power and torque curves, not calculated database figures. More about the dyno →
Dyno measurementsFile service: 48 workshops
408 orders from 48 workshops in July – the partner network keeps growing. Top brands: BMW (59), Audi (51), VW (50), Volvo and Mercedes (36 each). More about the file service →

STAGE 1 – TOP BRANDS
In July Audi and BMW split the lead evenly – 16 cars each. The German trio (Audi + BMW + Mercedes) accounts for 58% of all Stage 1 work. The remaining 17 cars span another 11 brands: Porsche Cayenne, Isuzu D-Max, Kia Sportage, Toyota, Honda and others. 16 brands in total this month, 55 diesels against 7 petrol engines.
MOST POWERFUL
Power is not the only metric. On modern turbo engines the factory caps torque to protect the gearbox, and Stage 1 primarily lifts that limit. A telling example – the Audi A8 4.2 TDI gained 150 Nm, and the BMW 640i gained 130 Nm (+29%). Torque is what you feel under acceleration, not peak horsepower.
