Can Xhorse Multi Prog Clone DQ381 MQB Gearbox?

Image
 Will Xhorse Multi Prog 1:1 clone VAG Bosch DQ381 TCU? VAG Bosch DQ381 TCU (part number 1034420266), MCU Renesas R5F72549R (SH725xx family), boot version bh1g0301. From the Multi-Prog (Xhorse) connection log in bench mode, I see: CPU type: SH725xx BOSCH part number: 1034420266 TCU type: TCU-2-x.x MCU: R5F72549R (72549) UID: E716113C / EF722549R Flash: 0x2800000x Int EEPROM: 0x200000 Connection successful, boot bh1g0301 Multi-Prog (latest update) reads internal flash, EEPROM, and maps without issues, but the big question is: Can I do a true 1:1 clone (including OTP/component protection/IMMO data) onto an identical donor unit, or are there locked/OTP zones on the Renesas that prevent a perfect copy? Solution: Yes if it is not MQB system. We use the godiag gt107 with it and no problem. No if it’s MQB system you will not be able to clone one to one. Need to transfer files from original to donor. Better use MMS Flex for this. Flex will 1:1 clone DQ381 TCU.

Magic Motorsport Flex Read Write Honda EDC16C7 ECU

Image
 Tried to read and write Honda Accord Bosch EDC16C7 ECU with Magic Motorsport Flex ecu programmer. Doing CONNECT shows no ID information. But read and write went fine. AutoTuner failed to ID it also. So no read process started. So FLEX failed or didn’t showed up an ID but carried out reading and writing. This is just curiosity about the protocol acting like this. Not worried at all, it would recover with any other of my tools in the box. Always recommend Kess3 on these old ECUs.
