Read Ford Visteon DCU101 with MMS Flex

Question:

There is no protocol for Ford Transit Visteon DCU-101 in Flex software.
Will Flex Read Visteon Dcu 101? Is it safe to use dcu-102 protocol?

 

Here is the clue.

Yes it can do through protocol for DCU102. Ford Transit is safe with dcu102 protocol.

Flex can read DCU101 via OBD/OBD bench or boot mode.

No need boot it though. OBD or OBD by bench, using the DCU102 protocol.

Dcu101, dcu102, dcu104, dcu108, dcu208 are same.

Ford 102 protocol is same for all but 1 version of the DCU ECU, so 101, 102 201, 204 104 204 etc all good.

 

NOTE:
dcu102 psa only VR on kessv2/kess3, you can read flex boot is easy and write obd2 with kess.

Autotuner Flex Update Iveco 2019- MD1CS069 ECU by OBD

Both Magic Motorsport Flex and Autotuner and programmer now support the Bosch MD1CS069 ECU OBD protocol for the Iveco Daily.

 

MMS Flex

 

New Flex update, version 7.49.0.0, now available, implementing OBD programming for the most modern Iveco vehicles equipped with Bosch MD1CS069, even those produced after 2021.
Thanks to this new protocol, you can now work directly from the diagnostic port of the vehicle (bypassing the SGW module), or establishing direct connection through the connector.
As of today, working on the map area doesn’t require unlocking the control unit nor shipping it to us: remove DTCs, boost engine performance, or cut consumption, all in a few minutes.

Some of the supported vehicles
Iveco Daily (IV) 2.3L FPT 16v 134HP
Iveco Daily (IV) 3.0L FTP 16v 177HP

 

New protocol available for the following software packages:
FLS0.1M – SW Flex ECU (car, van, bike) OBD/Bench Master
FLS0.1S – SW Flex ECU (car, van, bike) OBD/Bench Slave
FLS0.5M – SW Flex Full Master
FLS0.5S – SW Flex Full Slave

Newly added protocols:

This protocol is designed to work equally well via the diagnostic port or directly on your desk (OBD over BENCH). Whether the van is in your shop or you only have the ECU in your hands, you get a 100% real read (Normal Read).

Note: The specific wiring diagram (pinout) for Bench connections is provided directly within the protocol instructions.

Supported Vehicles:

Iveco Daily (2019+) – 2.3 Multijet EU6
Iveco Daily (2019+) – 3.0 EU6

Supported Engines:
2.3 Multijet EU6
3.0 EU6

Method:

OBD Normal Read OR OBD over Bench Get a real reading directly through the OBD port, or work on the bench if you prefer. The pinout is included right in the protocol instructions!

You need the SGW bypass.

Autotuner Cannot Write Audi A8 EDC17CP44 via OBD Solution

Problem:

It’s an Audi A8 4.2 TDI 2014 with Bosch EDC17CP44 ECU. Tried writing 3 times with Autotuner via OBD but had same error every time. This vehicle has two ECU’s.

First said “Could not start transfer: 34 22”. Eventually said “This is neither a valid tuning nor a recovery file for the selected ECU”.

How to fix it?

Solution:

This ECU software ID is 0008.

0008 got new bootloader, there is a bug patching it in obd write, other tools too!

0008 software has a patch that blocks writing/flashing via OBD.

You can use bench, do manual bootloader patch. Bench this ecu, I’ve had this issue with kess3 everytime, on the 3.0 tdi, its the same ECU EDC17CP44.

Optionally, you can downgrade the software to 0005/0003 via OBD, and then everything works over OBD as well.

Yanhua ACDP Mini BDC 085 Coding Lost Solution

Problem:

Added a key for a 2019 BMW Mini BDC via OBD with Yanhua ACDP. The key version is 085. The key was successfully added, and the remote can start the car normally. However, the ACDP2 screen displays coding lost error.

Solution:

Go to Restore function.

Select original coding version and write coding data.

Xhorse MVCI Pro+ vs Openport 2.0 for Techstream

The following is feedback from real users regarding the use of Xhorse MVCI Pro+, Openport 2.0, and Toyota Techstream software. Hope it helps who choose a proper Toyota J2534 cable.

 

Xhorse MVCI Pro+ vs Openport 2.0 for Techstream:

“The MVCI+ Pro (new black J2534 cable) is truly compatible with all protocols. The original Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 had its limitations.

The photos show the differences compared to an OpenPort 2.0.

Based on my experience using this new Xhorse cable, I can say that it works much better than an OpenPort 2.0.

It works perfectly.  No bugs so far.

On Techstream with an official OpenPort 2.0 cable, there were many bugs and a slow connection to the vehicle.

With Xhorse, there are no problems.

Mazda ids work very well and diagbox PSA very well.
Future testing Renault canclip.”

 

How to Tell if Benz Key is FBS3 or FBS4 by Key?

Here is the tip to identify if your Mercedes Benz BGA key is FBS3 or FBS4 by key shell and key circuit board.

 

1.By Key Shell

We can tell FBS3 or FBS4 from the key shell.

We can also determine whether it is an FBS3 or FBS4 key from this part of the key. Here is a string of numbers.

With a letter “K” means it’s a smart key, without “K” means semi-smart key.

 

3 numbers before this space indicate it’s an FBS3.5 semi-smart key.

4 numbers before this space indicate an FBS4 semi-smart key.

“K” at the beginning means it’s an FBS3 full keyless smart key.

“K” in the middle means FBS4 full keyless smart key.

 

2.By Key PCB

On the FBS4 key board, there is a transistor on the right side here; the FBS3 does not have one.
The chips on the FBS4 key board are smaller than those on the FBS3 key.

How to tell if it’s smart or semi-smart:
A full smart key will have an extra accelerometer chip on the top right side; a semi-smart key does not.
