Hey guys,

I wanted to ask what clone you prefer to read and write an EDC17 or Med17.X ecu.
I have the Kess V2 and the MPPS V18 they are working fine but I get a lot of requests for flashing EDC17 and Med 17.X ECUs.
I don't want links or something just what you use if u flash that kind of ECUs thanks a lot.

Clone will fail eventually, even original tools... but they will guide you to recover

Be prepared to pay when it happens

There is no way around spending a bunch of money.
PCMFlash while affordable has the problem of flashing the whole flash every time, so it's:
a) slow
b) every flash attempt ups the flash counter by more than 1
c) Once it reaches 100 you can't obd flash anymore without resetting it
d) The first few small sectors in the processor have actually a max endurance rating of 100 flashes, after that the flash needs to be "refreshed", not sure any commercial tools do that at all

You get what you pay for...

As to which tool to use - if I would have to choose one tool right now, I'd probably go for Flex, just because you get OBD and Bench (and optionally boot) in the same tool and it has wide protocol support.
I am not saying it's the best tool, far from it, just if I'd have to pick a single one, that's what I'd get.
But yeah, you will have to pay 5000 euro for the flasher and then subscription, or if you use always the same master you can get the slave.

"I get a lot of requests" means you are doing it commercially so tbh I don't see the big deal about it. If you flash 20 cars you've already made the money back for sure, and then it's only profit.
