    A Slave tool suits an established automotive business adding tuning to its services. It does not replace diagnostics or mechanical competence; it provides a structured relationship with a remote calibration team.

    Essential setup

    Use a reliable programming tool, stabilised supply, dedicated Windows computer, diagnostic equipment and a clean Bench workspace.

    First workflow

    Identify, diagnose, stabilise, read, archive, request the calibration, write, rescan and road-test. Document every step.
