Problem:
Foxflash failed to read VW Simos 18.1 tc1792 ecu in boot mode. I have 14.5V And checked Pinout 2 times. There’s always this error (no response with ECU) and wake error. Any solution?
Solution:
1). Voltage issue.
Set to 13v. Too much voltage at the moment if 14.5v.
Some
ecus need very specific voltage, start allways from 12v and try again by raising
voltage in steps of +0.5v.
So 12v read, 12.5v read ,13v read and so on.. up
to 14v. Rare cases need to go above 14v.
2). Pinout issue.
You need to change the arrangement of the resistors.
Because at this point on one pin where you are supposed to have 1k ohm you have 2k ohm.
Here is the tip to read Benz MED17.7.3 ECU with Foxflash programmer.
MED17.7.3
Read/write/checksum ok.
Mistake in pinout in foxflash manual use
pinout for med17.7.3.1 which use +12 in the left corner not that middle
left like in wiring.
To read and write use the following driver:
→ BENCH TRICORE
→ MERCEDES
→ TC1797 — MERCEDES
→ MED17.7.3
Ford Tourneo Connect 2018 1.5TDCi 88KW
MD1CS005 ECU.
Read in
Bench.
Write in Bench.
Checksum by foxflash.

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.
Problem:
I have a problem with Foxflash. Cannot open Manager to activate foxflash software.
Error "Only one instance at a time". How to fix it?
Solution:
It’s already running.
Restart your computer for starters.
Open manager once. If you’re not seeing anything install dotnet framework 4.7 and timesync auto to off.
