Write 20–25 minutes.
Checksum correction via foxflash
Bit of work but very smooth.

lots of heat, lots of patience.

Foxflash usually does MJD 9DF full read and write via OBD, if it is Hw002 read full system, Write obd, or BDM mode. FLEX does this hw002 full obd.

FC200 or FormulaFlash Which ECU Tool Is Better

Question: I wanna purchase a second programmer and I’m confused between FormulaFlash and CG fc200, which is better?


FormulaFlash vs FC200

Here are some users’ reviews to help you make a better decision.

1).

I have Foxflash also and recently bought Formula. In my opinion, Formula is an updated next generation device compared to FC200.
Formula hardware is very similar to Flex but isn’t the same. For example, Flex is a two piece device, Formula isn’t. Software is totally different. It’s not a clone.
Formula have great and excellent potential but needs to develop. It’s only one year old.
I’m very satisfied with it for now but I hope it will become a great tool as it promises.

2).

I have both FC200 and formula. What one lacks, the other has.

3).

Fc200 is better as it has more ECU coverage but formula will be better in the future. Formulaflash has many built-in functions and keeps developing.

You’d better get both.
