i've been looking to add new reflash cables to my collection for MED9 and up cars but im not sure whats good and whats not with these cars.
im interested in the FSI, TFSI, 2.5, 2.0 TDI etc ECU's. i have 2 MPPS cables and i have had no luck reading anything newer than an MK4 with them as i get an error when i try to do an FSI or TFSI engine for example. so whats out there that is a one size fits all weather it be over OBD or bench flashing? im open to anything weather its genuine or knock off. thanks guys.

A newer MPPS v13 or higher and BDM 100. These are what I use for most of my cars. If i get a TDI I normally just a friends Legit Kess tool since it has all the Tprot tools for OBD flashing.

I'm at well over 100 flashes on MED9 on 2.0 TFSI and it works perfectly on MPPS v13.

whats opinions on the FGtech galletto V4 units? im just looking at the knockoff stuff on ebay for now, if i like what i see and i find it useful than i tend to buy the original units. i just cant justify spending 100's or 1000's of dollars on a unit that wont work how i want it to or only does one ECU and the rest is the same as what the other tools i have already do.

MED9 is MED9. Some car applications might make it trickier, but it'll flash any Golf based MED9 (Golf, Octavia, Leon, A/S3 etc)

The only one it might have a problem with is B7 A4s, but I've not tried, nor do I foresee any reason to need to.

I'm curious about this statement. Could you give an example or two?

good luck.

You've clearly got a problem with folk using clone tools going by your irrational responses. If they didn't work, there would be no market for them.

This is a hobbyist forum. If you have a problem with clone tools then you're going to have a bad time.
