Yes, PCMFlash is very nice to use. Haven't tried their VAG stuff yet, because already have X17 and Kess.

The only "catch" is its just software. You'll need your own J2534 cable. Also, pretty sure it doesn't do TP2.0, just UDS (for MED17).

I already have a J2534, so it's nice not having to pay for extra hardware.  It looks like there are two separate MED17 modules, one USD, the other TP2.0.  I pulled the trigger on the SIMO module.  If that works well, I plan on getting MED17 module as well.

PCMFlash worked to flash the Simos 8.5 ecu in my B8.5 S4.  Virtual reads only. 

I can tell you that it will at least identify MED17 using TP20 on CAN.

I used the genuine Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 J2534 interface with the PCMFlash software.

Does the virtual read contain anything but the cal area?
Is the data outside the cal area encrypted or not?

pcm uses full flash for simos8. or at least, more than calc area.

Take one for the team like I did, and buy the TP20 module and try it out!  Report back!

But yes, you are correct.  Maybe someday I'll be a big shot too.
