Is Dsmlink a Standalone?

[DSMARUBA]

Hello, I don't know if this is the best place to ask this question but here it goes.... Here in Aruba we have a discussion about dsmlink. I thought that Dsmlink was between a piggyback and standalone. But they are telling me that a Dsmlink is pure standalone. Can someone answer this question and explain to me the difference between a piggyback and a standalone?

I believe its more of a piggy back because it runs of the stock ecu, it acts like a stand alone though with its features. correct me if i'm wrong though.

You are correct, the fact that it keeps the stock ECU means that its not a true standalone...
