Do I need a licence to tune my own car?

Yes — the flashing licence (€100 per side, engine or transmission) is tied to your VIN and unlocks both routes: OTS maps and custom tunes. Automated swap and reset solutions include the licence they need.

What is the difference between an OTS map and a custom tune?

An OTS map is a ready-made tune a tuner sells for a range of cars — you buy it and the app activates it on your VIN, no waiting. A custom tune is made for your exact car in a tuning request with the tuner you choose; the price is set by the tuner and agreed in chat.

What do I need to flash?

A supported OBD interface (ENET, ICOM and more) and the free 1769Flash app on your phone or laptop. Identifying the car and reading fault codes is free — you only pay to flash.

Can I go back to stock?

Yes — the flashing licence includes return to stock at any time.
