How to Unlock PSA MD1CS003 ECU with MMS Flex?

Magic Motorsport Flex boot glitch unlock new user report:

Citroen Berlingo 1.5BlueHDI 100hp.

Bosch MD1cs003 TC298 Psa ECU. Successfully done by Flex.

Autotuner requires main-in unlocking.
Finally unlocked by Flex boot glitch mode.
Very important – if you use too long cables will not work. Use as short cables as possible. To long boot wires will fail the procedure. Solder directly with short wires works fine (see image 5 the pinout instead the adapter. Try without flx4.1 adaptor and connect directly to the E port).

Then read and write on bench mode.

Flex MDG1 Boot Glitch Not Connection Solutions

Recently, many customers have been testing the Magic Motorsport Flex Bosch MDG1 ECU Boot glitch unlocking function. Some have succeeded, while others have failed because the device has not connection with the ECU.

To increase the success rate, the following points should be checked and noted:

 

1). First of all use ONLY FLEX power supply. 

2). If cannot glitch, test your Flex by cleaning the I/O connection (connection between Flex and Flexbox) and glitching worked.  If nothing is working, check your Flex!

3) Use as short cables as possible. Too long boot wires will fail the procedure. You need to make shorter cables it’s always was like that in any boot or jtag connection – to long cables interrupt to glitching process.

4). If fails many times with the Flex FLX4.1 cable, solder directly with short wires.

Try without FLX4.1 and connect directly to the E port.

Check and change wiring for E port. Check the resistance of your wiring. The boot pin also looks very thick! It may not be making good contact, or the boot pad could already be completely gone.

5). Bridge resistor gap with solder and remove the resistor (0.1 ohm).

 

6). Reinstall flex software and use a different WiFi (One of Flex users had issues with flex. It’s killing the internet; use different WiFi it works).

Also swap out to different power and ground leads, these are known to break near the ends, this protocol draws a lot of current so a weak cable could cause issues.

 

7). Call MMS support.

Mucar BT200 vs BT200 Pro vs BT200 Max

The “old boot” vs “new boot” on the Mucar BT200 VCI refers to different bootloader/firmware versions of the device (hardware bootloader on the chip inside).This distinction is common in the diagnostic tool community, especially for devices like Mucar BT200, Thinkdiag, and similar rebranded ThinkCar tools.

Key Differences

Aspect	Old Boot	New Boot
Diagzone Pro/Xdiag Compatibility	Yes – Can be flashed/activated to work with Diagzone/Xdiag (third-party app with broad coverage, often no ongoing subscription after activation)	No (or very difficult) – Locked to official Mucar/Thinkdiag app only
Official App	Works with official Mucar app	Works with official Mucar app
Flashing	Easier to flash custom firmware/boot files (e.g., for full Diagzone support)	Harder or not possible without advanced tools
Use Case	Preferred by advanced users who want cheap all-car access via Diagzone	Standard retail version for official app + lifetime updates
Availability	Often sold specifically as “Old Boot” on marketplaces; sellers highlight it for modding	Most new/current BT200/BT200 MAX units

 

Why It Matters

Old Boot — with serial 989140*. Many users flash with firmware for using diagzone or xdiag. Popular in forums (MHH Auto, CarBugs, etc.) because you can flash it to unlock Diagzone Pro, which gives very wide vehicle coverage similar to higher-end tools. Once activated, many functions continue working even without paying yearly fees.

 

Basically, it comes covered in black compound; take a printout of the board layout showing the pad locations, heat it with a soldering station’s hot air gun at 250°C for 2–3 minutes, and then it scrapes off like dirt using a toothpick.

 

You will probably need to remove the glue work out the connections for SWCLK, GROUND, +VCC, SWDIO, RESET. To dump the firmware. And then to see if the other servers firmware will work reflashing it.

NOTE: After flashing the BT200 firmware it cannot return original Mucar firmware!!!

 

New Boot — with serial 9TF*. More “locked down” for the official ecosystem (Mucar app with lifetime free updates on the BT200 series). Better for users who just want plug-and-play with the official software and don’t plan to mod it. The new one with black hard glue.

Practical Advice

If you already have one → You can sometimes check the hardware version or try entering boot mode (usually involves shorting specific pins on the board) to see if it responds to flashing tools like ST-Link.
BT200 MAX (newer model) is generally the updated hardware and likely comes as “new boot.”

Note: Flashing/bootloader mods carry risks (bricking the device) and are mostly done by enthusiasts. For normal use, the official Mucar app + lifetime updates on the BT200 is reliable and simpler.

The serial number is different as also when they changed the Mucar BT200 Max/Thinkdiag2 to single boards. There may or may not be a solution yet.

Mucar BT200 vs Kingbolen Ediag Mini vs Thinkdiag MINI

Kingbolen Ediag Mini/Thinkdiag Mini is working too. It’s the same MUCAR BT200 Board.

 

New JLR Pluto VCI vs Golden Pluto VCI

What is the difference between golden JLR Pluto VCI and new green JLR Pluto vci?
Transparent can do 2026.
and has 5 times speed more than gold.

They have the same function.
If need to replace with a new VCI, just install new driver and plug the new VCI. But the old one will stop working.
