The portal shows the estimate live: 60 minutes maximum during opening hours, for a file already developed. Measured median: 20 minutes. Flash and done.

Works with your tools

We accept original reads from all major master and slave tools: KESS3, Autotuner, CMD, Magic and more. Always keep the original read before flashing.

Tokens in short

Every job has a fixed token price from the public list: a Stage 1 car file is 1 token, most options cost 0.20 to 1 token with a remap, and some are even free. Tokens never expire.

Turnaround & support

The portal shows the estimate live. The commitment is 60 minutes maximum during opening hours, for a file already developed — a measured median of 20 minutes. A file never developed for that ECU goes on the dyno first: you are told at submission, and we announce no lead time in that case. Jobs submitted outside opening hours start when we reopen.

Before you start: the original read

Everything starts with a complete, untouched read of the ECU. Your tool — master or slave — produces it over OBD or on the bench depending on the reference, and it is that route which decides the rest, not the make of the vehicle. Always keep a copy of the original before any writing: it is your only way back if the vehicle has to return to its factory configuration.

A partial read, a file already modified by another workshop, or an export in a format the tool will not read back forces us to come back to you — and that is exactly what stretches a turnaround. Two minutes of checking before sending beats a round trip.

What happens between your upload and your download

On arrival, the job is opened by an engineer, not by an automated system. They identify the exact reference, check that the read is usable and that the requested options are feasible on that ECU, then open the project. If something blocks — incomplete read, option impossible on that reference — you are told before your tokens are committed.

Calibration then happens on that particular vehicle's file: the maps concerned, the limiters, the associated monitors, checksum correction, a final review. The file comes back into your job with the engineer's remarks where there are any. Tokens are debited at that point, at the public price list: there is no last-minute surcharge.

After the download

Write the file with the same tool and by the same route as the read, with the battery on a charger: most writing incidents come from a voltage that drops mid-flash. Then check the cold start, the behaviour under load, the absence of fault codes, and take a road test before handing the vehicle back.

Something to adjust? The job stays open. You answer the engineer who handled it inside the portal, with what you observe — logs help a great deal — and the calibration is adjusted: revisions are free. Your original read stays archived with the project, which makes later work on the same vehicle markedly faster.

The options you can tick

Every option has its page: what it does inside the ECU, what we expect from you, and what we have already delivered.

Frequently asked questions about the process

Do I need a master tool to work with you?

No. A slave tool is enough — it is in fact the most common case among our customers. What matters is that your tool produces a complete original read and can write back the file we return.

What happens if I upload a job on a Sunday?

The job is registered and starts when we reopen. The 60-minute commitment counts during opening hours, not overnight and not on Sundays: we would rather write that down than let it be assumed.

And if the file has never been developed for that ECU?

Then it is custom work, and we do not announce a turnaround we could not hold. You are told at upload, with the estimated turnaround, before your tokens are committed.

Are unused tokens lost?

No, tokens do not expire. They stay on your account until used, however long passes between two jobs.
