Title: Fastest way of flashing med9 Post by: littco on May 01, 2017, 02:20:34 AM Which is the quickest tool for flashing the med9? 12 minutes is a bit slow with the usual suspects..

MPPS v13 seems quickest for me. It'll do it in about 9 mins. v16, v18, Kess and FGTech all take 12-15mins. Failing that, it's BDM. I've got a development ECU that I soldered a cable on and was going to install in my Mk6 R but never bothered getting round to it. 9 mins is sufficiently quick enough that I'll put up with it and if I've got a file to flash, I've usually got something else I can do while its writing.

Ive seen the BDM ribbon cable and it seems a good idea, but not always practical I was thinking OBD though, writing my own flashing routines and flashtool is beyond me.. I'll stick with waiting 10 minutes. Title: Re: Fastest way of flashing med9 Post by: littco on May 01, 2017, 07:21:54 AM MPPS v13 seems quickest for me.

Its just a shame mPPS v13 doesn't skip the blocks which aren't changed like it does with ME7 ecus.

Title: Re: Fastest way of flashing med9 Post by: prj on May 01, 2017, 10:49:14 PM It is possible to flash it just as fast as every other ME9/MED9 ECU. But I already said what the pre-req for that is.
For example the cal area on the GM/SAAB ME9 flashes in about a minute and a half. The MB ME9 flashes in 40-50 seconds. The thing with the BDM is that you have to disconnect the connector every time. You can't BDM it with the connector attached. Still a lot quicker than OBD flashing, especially if you are working with a dual MED9 car.

Not saying this isn't true, but why out of all the available tools hasn't anyone sorted that? I can flash a Focus ST in just under a minute, so it's quite common for ME9s to be generally quick to write in calibration data. I know quite a few dedicated TFSI tuners who would pay good money for a tool that would OBD flash in a minute or two. |
