Our story

A dynamic company, always on the move, reflecting its founder.

Through these key dates and events, it is clear that, despite today's crises and challenges, our company continues to adapt and carve its own path with determination and resilience.

2011
The birth of <strong>FR Team International</strong>.

The birth of FR Team International.

Although François's passion and expertise in diagnostic tools and coding began long before this date, it was in April 2011 that FR Team International officially opened its doors in Luxembourg. Driven by the ambition to meet the growing needs of the automotive sector, FR Team set out to create innovative tools and services specifically designed for automotive professionals in B2B.

2012
The CANbus and the launch of the <strong>ECUx</strong>

The CANbus and the launch of the ECUx

In 2012, we began developing an innovative device capable of modifying the CAN bus flow to increase engine power. Unlike additional boxes that connect to the engine sensors, the ECUx connects directly to the engine control unit (ECU) and can be updated via the OBDII diagnostic port, making installation and use easier. Following a two-year research and development program, FR Team developed this innovative device which presented a real technological breakthrough compared to existing solutions. This product not only met the immediate needs of the market but also set new technological benchmarks, establishing a new standard for performance enhancement devices.

2013
Collaboration with the equipment supplier <strong>Milltek</strong>.

Collaboration with the equipment supplier Milltek.

Always driven by our desire to innovate, in 2013 we partnered with renowned equipment supplier Milltek to develop an active exhaust valve solution integrated into the vehicle's CAN network. The idea was to allow the driver to modify the exhaust sound by adjusting the valves directly from the steering wheel controls. This project, while complex, was made possible by our expertise in CAN networks, developed during the creation of the ECUx. The technical challenge was to understand and manipulate the vehicle's different CAN networks, which we mastered to offer an elegant and high-performance solution that met the expectations of automotive performance enthusiasts.

2014
<strong>European Patent</strong>.

European Patent.

Building on our successes, we saw the potential in our CANbus technology. In 2014, we filed a European patent (EP 2957 752 B1) to protect a motor control device. This additional motor control device includes a microcontroller, a memory, an interface for connecting to a computer bus, an analog input and an analog output. The analog input, connected to a probe, sends signals to the microcontroller via an analog-to-digital converter. The analog output, connected to the motor control unit, receives the corrected signals from the microcontroller via a digital-to-analog converter. The microcontroller senses data from the bus, applies a correction based on a memory map, and outputs a corrected signal.

2015
R&D on <strong>engine control units</strong>.

R&D on engine control units.

After the success of the ECUx, we understood that performance modification was only a part of the automotive market. In 2015, we focused on a new challenge: engine control unit (ECU) repair. This often involves transferring data from a damaged ECU to a new one, which requires bypassing microcontroller (MCU) security. This is the moment we launched our AutoTuner research & development program. After unsuccessful attempts using standard protocols, we developed solutions to access the protected data. We finally identified the authentication response in RAM, enabling reliable access to ECU data, revolutionizing our approach to electronic repair.

2017
Launch of <strong>AutoTuner</strong>.

Launch of AutoTuner.

In 2017, after two years of intensive research and development, we launched AutoTuner, an innovative software solution that quickly gained the trust of automotive tuners and repairers worldwide. AutoTuner is the first software to allow reading and writing on next-generation ECUs, providing fast and secure access to engine control units (ECU). Developed in a context of technological uncertainty, where no solution existed for these new ECUs, AutoTuner represents a major technological breakthrough. Thanks to methodologies developed internally, we overcame technical challenges and created a unique software solution on the market, offering unprecedented reading capabilities and a unique ability to adapt to future developments in engine computers and communication protocols. Thanks to the technology developed by FR Team under its research and development program, we were able to offer with AutoTuner a unique technological solution, ultra-fast, intuitive, reliable without subscription fees.

2021
A decisive <strong>strategic change</strong>.

A decisive strategic change.

In 2021, FR Team is entering a decisive turning point, both in terms of its shareholding and its strategy. François, founder and now majority shareholder, wishes to breathe new life into the company by refocusing its activities. From now on, FR Team is entering a new era with an expanded offering of AutoTuner tools, bringing together diversified products and services in diagnostics and reprogramming. This strategic repositioning marks a key step in the evolution of FR Team, affirming its leadership in a constantly evolving sector and strengthening its ability to anticipate the needs of tomorrow.

2024
<strong>Towards a simpler, more accessible, and more sustainable future</strong>.

Towards a simpler, more accessible, and more sustainable future.
