Slave and Master Options
AutoTuner Packages
AutoTuner is available in several configurations. The right option depends on whether you want calibration files supplied through a master, greater provider flexibility, or complete master-level control.
| Package | Best suited to | File relationship | Key consideration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zentune Slave | Workshops wanting a supported entry into ECU and TCU tuning without producing calibration files internally. | Linked to Zentune for calibration-file supply and portal support. | Calibration files are supplied through the linked master workflow. | $4,999 inc GST + freight |
| Independent Slave | For workshops that already have, or want to select, their own master or calibration-file provider. | The tool remains linked to the selected master, who manages the encrypted file workflow. | The provider, linking arrangement and file-handling workflow must be confirmed before purchase. | $5,499 inc GST + freight |
| Full Master | Established tuning businesses, calibration providers or workshops requiring full master functionality. | Master-level file control and the ability to manage compatible slave relationships. | Suitable experience and a proper calibration-development workflow are still required. | $9,499 inc GST + freight |
Package suitability depends on your current workload, experience, common vehicle types and preferred calibration workflow. Contact us before ordering so the correct configuration can be confirmed. Not sure which account model fits? Compare the broader slave, independent slave and master workflows.

Programming Methods
OBD, Bench and Boot workflows
The correct method depends on the specific vehicle, ECU or TCU, current protocol support and the operation required.
OBD Programming
Programming through the diagnostic connector with no ECU removal where supported.
- Efficient workshop access
- Common workshop service work
- Coverage confirmed for the application
Bench Programming
The ECU or TCU is removed and connected through its connector or a dedicated bench lead.
- Usually sealed and non-invasive
- Useful where OBD access is limited
- Requires disciplined pinout and power setup
Boot Programming
Direct board access where required by the control module or operation.
- Careful ECU opening and resealing
- Used for supported protected ECUs
- Applicable recovery and full-backup workflows
Supporting Equipment
Protect the vehicle and the programming process
Stable voltage and a controlled bench setup are essential parts of professional ECU and TCU programming.
Vehicle Power Support
Use a suitable programming stabiliser during OBD work to maintain consistent system voltage throughout identification, reading and writing.
- Reduces low-voltage interruption risk
- Supports longer programming sessions
- Selected to suit the workshop workload
Regulated Bench Supply
A current-limited bench supply provides controlled power when an ECU or TCU is programmed away from the vehicle.
- Adjustable voltage and current limits
- Clear connection and pinout discipline
- Safer bench and boot workflows
Portal, Credits & Support
A repeatable file workflow
Where the Zentune pathway applies, the portal keeps file requests, job history, notes, revisions and credit use together.
Portal Workflow
Upload the original read, provide job details, select the requested calibration and download the completed file.
Credit System

Direct Answers
AutoTuner Frequently Asked Questions
Does AutoTuner have an annual subscription?
AutoTuner does not charge an annual subscription for normal tool use and protocol updates. Other costs may still apply to calibration files, portal services, accessories or third-party services.
Which AutoTuner configuration should my workshop choose?
The right configuration depends on whether you plan to purchase calibration files through a linked master, work with a selected file provider or manage calibrations at master level. We can discuss your workload, experience and common vehicle types before recommending a package.
What is the difference between an AutoTuner slave and master?
A slave tool is linked to a master or supported file-provider workflow for calibration files. A full master offers greater file control and can support compatible slave relationships. The right option depends on whether your workshop intends to purchase files or develop and manage calibrations internally.
What is an independent slave?
An independent slave is for workshops that already have, or want to select, their own master or calibration-file provider. The tool remains linked to the selected master, who manages the encrypted file workflow. The provider, linking arrangement and file-handling workflow should be confirmed before purchase.
What equipment do I need in addition to the tool?
You need a suitable Windows laptop, stable battery support for vehicle programming, bench power where required and appropriate workshop equipment for the access method being used.

The Zentune Slave package is $4,999 inc GST + freight, the Independent Slave package is $5,499 inc GST + freight and the Full Master package is $9,499 inc GST + freight.
