Problem: Tried to read Peugeot Bosch MD1CS003 ECU 0281037200 with FoxFlash programmer but failed. Error SK2 bench locked.
Can Autotuner or Hexprog2 do them?

Solution:
They are not locked till around 2021. Done a lot of them with foxflash 2018–2021, this one is from 2022 and is locked.

037–039 are locked.
Foxflash, Autotuner, Flex etc cannot read if locked.
Only v2flasher after 2020. Vf2 can unlock on lab and after that can read/write.
Question:
I just bought FoxFlash to read my MEVD 17.4.4 Peugeot 308 GT
205 hp and I need some advice
Is 12V enough or is 14V better?
Once the
play is done I edit the file with WinOLS 4.7 I have a mappack and do I have to
do something else before I write the file so my car can start
smoothly?

Here is the clue.
12.5V to connect directly to the car, outside it’s better to prefer 14 volts or 13.5V.
You write that’s all, but let the tool do the checksum calculation.
Fox automatically does the tprot off automatically. It’s automatic!!
Must do the trpot off otherwise it only starts once.
How to solve CG100X not connect problem after software upgrade?
Disconnect all, and plug 12V 2A for few seconds, plug USB and run
software.
Go to "Settings"–"About"–click "Check and fix".
Settings–"About"–click "Install Drive"
Settings–"Network"–change the server area one by one.
Must restart the software after changing the server and try again.
