MaxxECU Feature Comparison Chart
Compare all MaxxECU units and their features
MaxxECU modules all run the same feature rich firmware and are tuned by the same Mtune software (including the PDM20). Most features are available on all units depending on the pin count and how many I/O's you need. All features are unlocked, and there are many many features. It's called Maxx for very good reason.
Want knock sensing? You'll need a RACE or PRO unit.
Need Wideband Lambda? Then a MaxxECU STREET or above is for you.
Mdash Android? SPORT or above.
