The majority of aftermarket ecus you can change/save realtime. What are you on about?

That sounds bad, ive mapped older emerald's and im sure they updated in real time, as I dont remember having to do that, so sounds a bit of a backward step if thats the case.
IIRC there was a shortcut that did a more or less instant transfer, 20 seconds is a nightmare, i just dont see how you can really map something that takes that long to update every time

Ive not ever seen a K3 though

On emerald the changes you make are live and have effect the minute you make them and i'm pretty sure there is a key shortcut to instantly save changes to the map.

Micheal, you seem to be a bit confused.
