  Question: Is it safe to read Mercedes W204 Delphi CRD.11 with Autotuner by OBD? Here is the clue. Yes, it is safe. Only OBD on Autotuner. Turn on a charger with at least 60A, because the cooling fan is working at max. Use voltage regulator. Read and write takes 10–15mins each so connect charger. But some people crash this ecu with autotuner obd. Most time when ecu has modified file before. But the customer don’t know. Same as Foxflash, better don’t use AT for Delphi CRD ECUs, use Flex. Flex is better. Flex works fine, with bench protocol. Best way is bdm if you do not have flex with old ktag. www.iecutool.eu

 As titled, Flex and Autotuner which is better to read and write Renault / Dacia / Mitsubishi Continental EMS3160 ECU? OBD or bench? Autotuner is better on this ECU. Use AT, 99% of chance VR will be available. Autotuner>CMD>Flex, in this order. Obd and bench are based on VR. Flex does not work on some versions. There is no VR in Flex for this version.

  Problem: It’s a Peugeot 508 keyless model. Autotuner read DCM7.1A — Delphi OK via OBD, unlock ECU ok, but fail to OBD write after unlocking ECU. Solution: You have to hold and press key against the column the entire time if the writing yes. Follow instructions exactly. Hold the key in your hand throughout the writing process. Always works with key held against column, it shows on autotuner instructions where to hold key. Try holding key next to steering column as shown, and see if dash lights up If lights come on you can rewrite the file with key again just make sure key is exactly where is should be as shown.

 bFlash and Autotuner are both professional ECU (Engine Control Unit) and TCU (Transmission Control Unit) reprogramming tools used in the automotive tuning industry. They enable reading, writing, and modifying firmware on vehicle control units via methods like OBD (On-Board Diagnostics), bench, and boot modes. These tools are primarily aimed at tuners, engine calibration engineers, and automotive professionals for performance enhancements, diagnostics, and repairs. Both support a wide range of modern vehicles (e.g., BMW, VAG, Mercedes) and are available in master (full editing capabilities) and slave/client (file sending to tuners) versions. However, they differ in features, usability, licensing, and specific strengths. Key Differences: Here’s a comparison based on their core functionalities, pricing model, user feedback, and technical capabilities: Additional Notes Similarities: bflash is almost the same like autotuner. First new protocol have bflash second autotu...
