Possible to read Mercedes Benz ME9.7 ECU with Xhorse Multi Prog? Need to clone the ECU.
Multi prog will read and write Benz ME9.7 ECU via OBD mode.
Multiprog reads only maps in obd mode, no immo or full read, so it cannot be used to clone this ECU.
Use other programmers if you want full read for micro flash and eeprom.
Full read only in boot with ktag, dfox, foxflash, kess3 , flex and so on. Obd vr only calibration area.

Chrysler GPEC2A ECU Unlock Now on OBDSTAR DC706
The OBDStar DC706 ecu tuning tool recently added a new feature that has sparked excitement among automotive enthusiasts and tuners: an ECU Unlock tab for the Chrysler GPEC2A ECM. This update suggests a streamlined way to unlock ECUs for tuning, potentially eliminating the need for manual hex editing or file transfers. But does it actually work with popular tuning software like HP Tuners? Let’s dive into the findings.
The Promise of a One-Click Unlock
Traditionally, unlocking a GPEC2A ECU for tuning involved cumbersome steps:
- Transferring files to a USB
- Manually editing hex files
- Scrolling through lines of code to make adjustments
The new "Unlock ECU" tab in the OBDStar DC706 software hints at a simplified process. The hope was that this feature would allow users to bypass manual modifications, making it easier to prepare the ECU for tuning with third-party software like HP Tuners.
Testing the Unlock Feature with HP Tuners
To verify its effectiveness, a user conducted a series of tests:
1.Initial Attempt:
- The "Unlock ECU" function was executed, and the process completed successfully.
- However, when attempting to write a tune via HP Tuners, the ECU remained locked, displaying an "Incompatible PCM Software" error.
2.Second Attempt (Boot Mode):
- After consulting the guide (which initially went unread), the user tried unlocking in boot mode using a P004 adapter and a 120-ohm resistor.
- Despite following the correct procedure, the unlock still did not allow HP Tuners to write to the ECU.
Manual Unlock Success:
- As a last resort, the user manually unlocked the ECU using traditional methods (hex editing).
- This time, HP Tuners accepted the file, confirming that the manual process still works while the OBDStar’s unlock feature fell short.
Why Didn’t the OBDStar Unlock Work?
The exact reason remains unclear, but possible explanations include:
- The unlock may only work with OBDStar’s proprietary tuning tools, not third-party software like HP Tuners.
- The feature might still be in beta, requiring further refinement.
- There could be additional steps not covered in the initial testing.
Conclusion: A Step Forward, But Not a Complete Solution
While the OBDStar DC706’s "Unlock ECU" feature is a welcome addition, it currently does not appear to work seamlessly with HP Tuners. For now, tuners may still need to rely on traditional manual unlocking methods.
However, this update suggests that OBDStar is moving toward simplifying ECU tuning, and future software revisions could improve compatibility. For those eager to test it, staying updated on official releases and user feedback will be key.
