Now you can unlock BMW Bosch 2020+ MG1/MD1 ECUs with Autotuner via remote unlock.
Things are getting serious for Bosch MDG1 ECUs fitted from 2020 onwards across BMW platforms!
The DDE8 and DME8 versions, featuring the new Bosch protection, are now supported in BENCH after Remote Unlock, with your Autotuner Tool:
MD1CP032 — TC299
MD1CS001 — TC298
MG1CS024 — TC298
MG1CS049 — TC298
MG1CS201 — TC298
To
check if an ECU is supported, perform a BENCH identification with your AT
Tool.
The application will then indicate one of the three following cases:
The ECU can be handled directly in BENCH.
The ECU requires a Remote
Unlock.
The ECU is not yet supported.
Once BENCH operations are
available, you can always perform the OBD Unlock with your AT Tool, and then
also benefit from full support with your AT One.
And to make things easier: if a Remote Unlock is required, our team will automatically apply the OBD Unlock during the process.
Good news: A dealership update has no impact on the Remote Unlock.

Problem:
Foxflash programmer reads Audi Bosch EDC16U31 ECU ok, but failed to write this ECU on bench. Any solution?
Solution:
First voltage is too low, try to write with voltage over 13.5V.
Second, it can be up to checksum. Make cheksum on winols, not with foxflash.
Don’t do checksum automatically when writing back original.
If fail to write back original file, open and use bdm or try to flash original. You can easily recover it in boot with k-tag/kess3 as well.
KESS2 or mpps is better on this old ECU.
Problem 1: It’s an Audi a6 3.0tdi 2005 with Bosch EDC16CP34 ECU. Read and write with FoxFlash in bench mode. Ecu had been soft bricked and car didn’t start.

Solution:
Edc16cp34 has problem with checksum. Always do checksum manually (in winols/Lsuite etc).
User feedback:
Feedback:
Original ecu file from original-ecu website flashed
back.
Everything works good.
Problem 2:
Edc16cp34 Tuareg.
Foxflash Read bench ok.
Write stopped at
90%.
Solution:
BDM mode to recovery it.
never write all
only intflash except when you
have the fullback file up.
Foxflash read and write Mercedes Actros MP4 MCM 2.1 and ACM all ok.
It works well on all series of MCM and ACM from Actros MP4.
Read the flash
and eeprom using the bench method.
Actros MP4 MCM 2.1 D3 full read and write ok, full system bench mode.
Voltage 14V.


Actros ACM 2.1 full read and write ok, full system bench mode.
Voltage 14V.

If it fails to connect with Actros MCM 2.1 D4, you need unlock MCM2.1 HW: D4.
D4 is locked, you need to read the instructions to unlock it.
