Frequently asked questions

What is a chiptuning file service?

The workshop reads the original ECU or TCU software and submits the vehicle configuration and requested changes. We develop the modified file. Vehicle diagnosis, writing the software and checking the result remain the responsibility of the workshop.

Can I offer tuning without developing maps myself?

Yes. A professional file service can handle map development. Your business still needs trained staff, an appropriate flash tool, stable power support and a suitable workspace. Vehicle condition and correct application must be checked locally.

How do I order?

Register in the customer portal, obtain the required credits and upload the original file. Include vehicle details, ECU identification, software version, flash tool, hardware changes and requested options. The completed file is made available for download in the portal.

How long does processing take?

File processing takes 15–30 minutes on average. Technical questions, unusual software versions or extensive development may require more time. Ask for an estimate for your particular order in the portal or from support.

Do you offer Mapswitch files?

Yes. We develop Mapswitch files for the ECUs listed on the Mapswitch service page. Calibration variants, switching controls and the vehicle setup are agreed first. No Mapswitch credit price is currently listed.

What are the base prices?

Stage 1 costs €100.00 / 1 Credit, Stage 2 €140.00 / 1.4 Credits, Stage 3 €250.00 / 2.5 Credits, ECO tuning €90.00 / 0.9 Credits and TCU tuning €80.00 / 0.8 Credits. VMax Off is included in Stage 1 and Stage 2. Additional options are charged separately. Prices are net plus statutory VAT; the portal order confirmation applies.

Are all vehicles physically dyno tested?

Development measurements can support validation of a suitable calibration. They do not replace testing of every customer vehicle. Discuss available measurements and the validation required for your order with the technical team.

What about road use?

Check the applicable approval requirements for the specific vehicle and intended use before ordering. A technically possible modification does not constitute road approval and can affect emissions, insurance and warranty.
