Foxflash Audi A6 EDC17CP44 ECU Clone Success Guide
Foxflash new user feedback:
Bench, Boot, Clone, it all works for EDC17CP44 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 2017. Read Original ECU and New ECU in bench mode (with bench box). Then prepared Clone file with Foxflash clone feature. Then wrote clone file in boot mode (without bench box).
For boot mode write there are 2 steps
1) BFT recovery
2) then Boot write both prepared flash and original eeprom.
Note for 1) & 2) there are 2 different connection configs. (The manual has all the details).
It took about 40 minutes to write flash. And 2 minutes for original eeprom file. Car started immediately!!!
Used checksum of tool for both flash and eeprom.
Why not wrote clone file in bench mode ? It is possible only on boot?
In the instructions it says it might not work in bench. They recommend boot mode. People here reported sometimes working sometimes not working.
