Rules and Conditions for ECU Unlock

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a remote unlock possible without sending in the ECU?

No. A remote unlock is not possible. The ECU must be sent in for the unlock.

How do I flash the software after the unlock?

After the unlock, you can flash the software to the ECU via the OBD2 port or using OBD bench. This requires our KM eFlash or a compatible J2534 interface. Other flashing tools are not supported. We provide the required Windows software and license free of charge. Note: Depending on the vehicle, flashing via the OBD2 port may not be possible in some cases. OBD bench is always possible.

Do I need to purchase a KM eFlash?

No. If you already own a compatible J2534 interface, you do not need to purchase an additional KM eFlash.

Do I need any additional equipment?

An OBD2 breakout cable is recommended. It allows you to use your interface via OBD bench if flashing through the vehicle's OBD2 port is not possible.

What can I do after the unlock?

After the unlock, you can perform a virtual read of the calibration area (maps). Once the file has been downloaded, you can apply your tune and flash it using our software. You can repeat the flashing process as many times as needed to refine and complete your tune.

Can I use Autotuner, Magic Flex or other tools?

No. These tools do not support the required OBD protocol. Use our KM eFlash or a compatible J2534 interface, such as Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 or Scanmatik, instead. We provide the required Windows software and license free of charge.

Which J2534 devices are supported?

The following J2534 devices have been tested and verified to work with our software: KM eFlash, Tactrix OpenPort 2.0, Scanmatik 2 / Scanmatik 3, Autel MaxiFlash J2534. Note: Other J2534 devices may also work, but they have not been tested. We therefore cannot guarantee compatibility or proper operation.

Do you also offer unlocks for MRD2/MRG2 or other ECUs?

No. We currently offer only the unlocks listed on this page for Mercedes/AMG MRD1 and MRG1 ECUs. Please do not send requests for ECUs that are not listed, as we are currently unable to process them.
