 As titled, here we will show how to extract pin code for Peugeot Citroen PSA Continental SID807EVO ECU from flash data. First of all, make a full backup reading of the Continental SID807EVO ECU in boot mode. Using ktag/ kess3 , Foxflash , Xhorse Multi Prog , Flex or other programmers in boot. If use Foxflash, check the boot pinout here. http://www.pcmtuner.org/psa-sid807evo-boot-pinout-to-foxflash/ Then open flash data in hex editor. The 4-digit pin code is stored in Flash data. BLOCK: 0xB00–0xB03. For example, the pin code here is YQN7. The pin code is essential for key coding, ecu replacement and immo work on PSA vehicles. www.iecutool.eu

  Problem 1: Got the PADFlash programmer software installed on a Win8 64bit system, Windows detects the device driver, click Activate, but padflash software did not start. Any solution? Solution: PADFlash software cannot be installed on Windows 8 operating system. Only Win7 64bit or Win10 64bit system. Win7 64bit is the most stable system for padflash. Problem 2: Failed to open PADFlash software after clicking "Activate" button on Windows 10 64bit system. The device driver was installed. Solution: Keep the PADFlash UPDATER running. If padflash software cannot start on Win10 system, need to activate a Super Administrator Account in Windows 10. If it still is not working, go to c/windows/systembin/pdata , right click " paddlash. exe " and run the program as Administrator.

 Possible to read Mercedes Benz ME9.7 ECU with Xhorse Multi Prog ? Need to clone the ECU. Multi prog will read and write Benz ME9.7 ECU via OBD mode. Multiprog reads only maps in obd mode, no immo or full read, so it cannot be used to clone this ECU. Use other programmers if you want full read for micro flash and eeprom. Full read only in boot with ktag, dfox, foxflash , kess3  , flex and so on. Obd vr only calibration area. Cheap ktag clone to read and write these on bench and works 100% of the time. www.iecutool.eu

Opening of the ecu test on several condo red ok black ok test line bus can from pin 67 68 towards the selfs in common mode ok after the selfs signal break 120ohm disturbed.

 The OBDStar DC706 ecu tuning tool recently added a new feature that has sparked excitement among automotive enthusiasts and tuners: an ECU Unlock tab for the Chrysler GPEC2A ECM . This update suggests a streamlined way to unlock ECUs for tuning, potentially eliminating the need for manual hex editing or file transfers. But does it actually work with popular tuning software like HP Tuners ? Let’s dive into the findings. The Promise of a One-Click Unlock Traditionally, unlocking a GPEC2A ECU for tuning involved cumbersome steps: Transferring files to a USB Manually editing hex files Scrolling through lines of code to make adjustments The new "Unlock ECU" tab in the OBDStar DC706 software hints at a simplified process. The hope was that this feature would allow users to bypass manual modifications, making it easier to prepare the ECU for tuning with third-party software like HP Tuners. Testing the Unlock Feature with HP Tuners To verify its effectiveness, ...

 This article explores the key differences between the Hextag II and Xhorse Multi-Prog, providing insights to help automotive technicians, and programmers choose the right tool for their requirements. Overview of Hextag II The Hextag II is a professional-grade automotive programming tool known for its versatility and advanced capabilities. It is widely used for ECU cloning, chip tuning, and immobilizer programming, particularly for European vehicles like BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen. The Hextag II is recognized for its robust software, extensive vehicle coverage, and ability to handle complex tasks such as mileage correction and module repairs (e.g., BMW FRM). It is often marketed as a premium solution, with a focus on reliability and precision. Overview of Xhorse Multi-Prog The Xhorse Multi-Prog is the second-generation programmer from Xhorse, succeeding the VVDI Prog. It is designed for reading, writing, and cloning ECUs and TCUs, as well as handling immobilizer modul...

 The Launch X-prog3 is on the same level as the autel xp400 pro where it is more limited? in which the Autel is more powerful? Here is the clue. Launch X-Prog3 (GIII) A professional immobilizer and key programmer, often used with Launch X431 diagnostic tablets (e.g., X431 V+, Pro5, PAD VII). Specializes in ECU/TCU cloning, key programming, and immobilizer functions for a wide range of vehicles. Known for its integration with Launch’s ecosystem and built-in features like MQB AKL sync data calculation. Autel XP400 Pro An advanced key and chip programmer that works with Autel MaxiIM tablets (e.g., IM508, IM608, IM608 Pro). Excels in transponder chip reading/writing, immobilizer functions, and ECU/MCU programming. Offers standalone capabilities on PC but is most powerful when paired with Autel MaxiIM tools. Comparison Table Pros and Cons Launch X-Prog3 Pros: Excellent for ECU/TCU cloning. Built-in MQB AKL sync calculator for VW/Audi. Seamless integration wi...

 It is a Toyota Aygo Bosch ECU ME7.9.52. First try full system read with foxflash , but it was not possible with this ECU, got an error that reading was not possible. So try boot mode. ME7.9.52 boot mode Decat. Read and Write ok. Checksum all by foxflash. Also did a Citroen C1 2010 ME7.9.52 ECU with foxflash software in Boot mode. Citroën C1 / Peugeot 107 / Toyota aygo use the same ECU type.

 We’ll walk through the process of reading and writing the SID 807 ECU in a 2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel (110 HP / 82 kW) using the FLEX programming tool . This demonstration covers OBD-based tuning , including how to disable Start-Stop functionality — a common request from vehicle owners. Tools & Preparations FLEX Programming Tool (OBD connection) Battery Maintainer (recommended for stable voltage) Citroen C4 SID 807 ECU (2011 model in this case) Note: Always verify the ECU hardware number before proceeding. If unsure, the FLEX tool can auto-detect the correct ECU type. Step-by-Step Procedure 1. Identify the ECU The FLEX tool allows you to manually input the vehicle details ( Citroen C4, 1.6 Diesel, SID 807 ) or automatically detect the ECU. If the wrong ECU is selected, the tool won’t establish a connection , preventing accidental errors. 2. Read the ECU via OBD Connect the FLEX tool to the OBD port (which, in French cars, can be tr...

  FormulaFlash new user review: VAG DQ381 geabrox tcu cloning is done with FormulaFlash programmer. Either do it on car or bench. 1). Do it on car. No need to remove the mecatronic. Cloning all ok. 2). on bench. Cloning VW 2018- DQ381 All good on bench.

 In this blog, we’ll break down a real-world attempt to read this Bosch EDC17CP09 (DDE) using different tools, the challenges faced, and the eventual solutions that worked. Tools Tested for Reading BMW EDC17CP09 1. OBDStar DC706 Issue: The tool suggested installing a 120 Ohm resistor but still couldn’t establish a connection. Solution: Later discovered a missing ignition power pin in the wiring setup — once corrected, the read worked. Lesson: Always double-check pinouts and wiring diagrams! 2. Autel IM608 (Partial Success) Method: Used the EEPROM section with direct bench connection. Successfully Read: ISN (Immobilizer Security Number) — Useful for module transfers. Flash files — Required soldering a boot pin and using the XP400 Pro programmer . Limitation: Couldn’t extract full EEPROM files via OBD alone. 3. X-prog3 / Launch X-431 Tablet ( — Success!) Method: Used bench mode with a custom harness. Successfully Read: Full EEP...
