3. CG FC200

FC200 software 1.1.2.0 adds GM General engine computer: E37, E39A, E78, E80, E83 read, write and clone.

 Read/Write/Checksum Internal Flash ; Full Backup/Clone

4. Flex

5. I/O Terminal 

Supports E37 Read/Write/Checksum Internal Flash ; Full Backup/Clone.

Supports Ecus GM E37,E38,E39,E39A,E78,E87,E98,E92,E80,E82, TCM

6. M & D Flasher with module 90

The module works with ACDelco E37/E38 in OBDII Mode or Bench Mode.

1. OBDII Mode (working in the vehicle):

    Identification

    Error reading

    Error reset

    Flash reading

    Calibration area writing (without checksum corrections)

2. Bench Mode:

    Flash reading

    Flash writing (without checksum corrections)

    EEPROM reading

    EEPROM writing

IO Terminal and other tools allow you to clone or modify ECMs when the manufacturers don't allow it,  some of these parts can be back ordered, not available or just too expensive,  also sometimes the OEM tools themselves fail at some programming,  these tools gives tech more options and in some cases faster ways of getting jobs done.

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)
