Vehicle Tuning Lookup Feature
Vehicle Tuning Lookup Feature for TuningDesk Platform
The Vehicle Lookup Feature allows users to search for detailed vehicle specifications using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or Model Name in the ECU tuning file database. This feature is particularly useful for users who need quick access to vehicle details for tuning or modification purposes in the automotive tuning file platform.
1. Admin: Importing Vehicle Data
To enable the Vehicle Lookup Feature, the Admin must first import vehicle data from a spreadsheet.
Import Process
- Prepare the Data File
- The file should contain vehicle details such as Make, Model, Year, Engine, ECU, VIN, Horsepower, and Gearbox.
- The data should be structured properly in columns for accurate import.
- Divide the Data into Smaller Files
- Each file must contain only 1,000 records for efficient processing.
- If the dataset is larger, split it into multiple files.
- Upload the Data
- The admin needs to navigate to the vehicle lookup import page:

Once uploaded, the system will validate and store the vehicle records, making them available for search.
