Just finished writing the backbone of my flashtool last week. Can flash any MEDC17(presently only UDS based). Here’s a snippet of a EDC17C46 being flashed on bench: It’s not just an FRF flash. Any modified file can be flashed(code and data area). An exploit in the bootloader is leveraged to allow RSA check(TPROT) to be […]
Audi RS3 MED17.1.62 Mapswitch
On this engine there are a lot of maps for timing control. I have developed a solution to switch all the maps(84!) in the IgnCtl module. This means you have full control on timing for E85 setups.Another solution to change timing by adding a correction factor from a separate map is being developed. Here’s a […]
Mercedes EDC15C Mapswitch
With this ECU, I have implemented mapswitch on all EDC15 ECUs released in the market by Bosch! This version has 4 datablocks switched by:1. Press and hold Gear lever +2. Press Cruise control cancel once to view selected datablock3. Press cruise control cancel again to switch datablocks4. Release Gear lever + when done. Here is […]
EDC15 Scrambling
A lot of tuners work hard on the dyno to make tunes, only to be copied by rivals. I have come up with a solution to protect the maps by scrambling them. This means that maps are protected from being copied in boot and OBD mode read. Only the tuner who has my tool(unique for […]
EEPROM fun
I had to program a legacy EEPROM on a Mercedes EDC15 ECU. I had a choice: to buy a reliable tool to read/write the E2P(3SP08/95SP08) or make my own by reading the datasheet. I chose the 2nd option.
Live-tune for E85 blend
A tuner contacted me to make a special version of map switching. Basically they needed a way to adjust KRKATE for varying alcohol content. Timing maps are also switched depending on the alcohol percentage selected in the cruise control speed display. Speed of 98km/hr in cruise control display corresponds to 98 Octane mode. 85 corresponds […]
MED17 MapSwitch
A lot of tuners contacted us for a solution to switch between maps on the newer generation MED17 ECUs. After a few weeks of rigorous testing we have been able to come up with a robust solution. Here is a video of it in action on an VW Golf MED17.5: Contact us for a quote […]
Bosch EDC15 MapSwitch
So for years tuners have tried various different techniques to have multiple tunes in one ECU. There are several advantages to this:1. Multiple tunes with different output power levels2. One tune can be tuned so that engine won’t start: sort of like an added level of security as the driver needs to switch into the […]
