Tuning-X | FAQ

ECU remapping, also known as tuning, is when the settings of a vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) are altered in order to improve several areas of its performance. By overwriting the existing settings with new software, you can reprogram the car to maximize performance, manage fuel injection and more (within legal limitations). Check out how custom chiptuning files work.

Tuning-X provides custom chiptuning files for almost every car manufacturer. There are always exceptions, when there is no significant gain or for models where the ECU security has not yet been cracked. Check out our car configurator to find your model and what to expect.

Our engineering team can create your custom files in 60 minutes or less, one of the fastest turnaround times in the industry.

An original ECU file is the authentic stock software that comes with the vehicle from the manufacturer. You may need it to restore the car to its original state, remove bugs, as a backup etc.

Tuning-X offers original files for the majority of car brands and models in the market. Check out our comprehensive database of original ECU Files.

Master tools are more expensive and better for experts who have the know-how to modify engine management software. If you are a rookie, opt for a Slave tool to get a designated Master – they are the ones who can modify your files. Slave tools can only read and write tuning files, so they are cheaper, too.

Tuning-X features a wide selection of chip tuning tools. We offer master and slave chiptuning tools from the most popular providers, like Alientech, Autotuner, and bFlash, at competitive prices and with express shipping.

If you have a Slave tool connected to a Master (from Tuning-X or any other workshop or provider), you can always upgrade it. Explicit written consent from your Master is required before buying the upgrade.

Tuning-X has the expertise to provide tuning files for every vehicle, including buses, trucks, motorcycles, boats and more.
