Which Tool to Read Write Bosch MD1 MG1 ECUs?

 It is possible to produce Chip Tuning of cars without opening and drilling control units, it is done through a standard diagnostic connector, but some modules still need to be connected on the table but without opening.

How to Choose a Best Tool to Read and Write MD1 MG1 ECUs?

 

1.Autohex II or Hextag

Pros:

• You can download the full ECU and instructions on the Microtronik website
• Good tecnical support
• MG1/MD1 ready on both Autohex and Hextag for ISN reading
• Do automatic checksum correction and users can directly write modified files without waiting for manual checksum correction.
• Hextag will also clone MD1/MG1 ECUs, you can clone most of MDG1

Cons:

1. to clone MDG1 ECUs, you need extra adapter for hextag, autohex ii does not
2. Devices not cheap (Autohex II $5K, Hextag $o.6K)
3. Hextag ECU/TCU cloning requires a license which is expensive ($1000 per year)
