I still don't know...

Both the platforms tune your car, they return it to stock if needed, and they are capable of datalogging. Stratagem Ultra systems are plug & play and easy to use, and they are preloaded with our C21 tunes. The dsci tuning platform you can purchase all updates and additional tune upgrades through the UK dscipowered online store.

In summary, the Stratagem Ultra is a compact handset for loading tunes, heads-up display, user/0-100/200/QM tests, datalogging, etc. The dsci is a computer interface, allowing the user to add their car to other PCs applications on a mobile PC/Laptop/Tablet.

If you just want to tune, have head-up display of live signals, datalog, etc and all car related stuff in a standalone unit choose the C21 Stratagem Ultra. If you want to tune and do other mobile PC related tasks, choose dsci Tuning Platform!
