I choose chip tuning equipment: what is the difference between SLAVE and MASTER?

If you have already started looking for chip devices, then one of the first solutions will be to choose the right software. Should you choose a Master device or a Slave device? Which solution would be best?

In order to properly choose between these two devices, we have prepared the most frequently asked questions, which thoroughly show all the differences between the Slave and Master devices. But in anticipation, we can write that the Master device has the advantage that this version has the ability to read, write and adjust the ECU software, making it a much more comprehensive and superior device. For professionals looking to adjust ECU maps, this is a basic tool.

The slave device has the ability to read and write software, so this device is usually used by less experienced craftsmen who do not adjust the ECU software. The slave version must always be linked to the version of the Master software vendor.
