This post is a recent experience doing a crash reset with my OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus on a 2017 Ford Mustang. I did it by OBD and module stop communicating after the eeprom write. I bought a used module, which also had crash data but did it on bench and worked just fine. We all know there is always risks associated with crash reset, but always try to minimize said risks by using the most secure method even if it means having to remove the module from the vehicle.

I've done a bunch of resets via OBD successfully, I love this tool, but hopefully this post will help other people avoid having to source a replacement module due to going bad.

Launch X431 IMMO Plus user report:

LANDROVER DISCOVERY 4
TRANSMISSION REPLACED
8HP70 GEARBOX TCM CLONED with Launch IMMO Plus
WORK WITH JLR SDD & LAUNCH X431 IMMO PLUS

IMMO Plus also clone 8HP45, 6HP26, MPS6 and ZF9HP TCMs for Land rover.

Images attached.

Launch SmartLink C and Scanmatik 2 Pro are j2534 capable so they both work with other j2534 compatible programs.

Launch SmartLink vs SM2 Pro J2534

 

Launch SmartLink is much better than the most J2534 because is better for Trucks. 

So will work with almost all j2534 passthru Softwares Cars or Trucks, Scanmatik can be used as j2534 passthru for cars only. SM2 Pro is better for Nissan Consult because have ignition on except if you find ignition on soft for Nissan, and Renault clip as again scanmatik working without any modification.

All this Software in the photo will work for example.

 Here is the user report of pcmtuner on Ford Transit 2018 EMS24XX ECU.

Use module 32. In order to work in this ECU you need to select Ford Explorer 3.5 Cyclone. Everything worked great.
Bunch of options were explored to clone this module. On the car with Topon and Launch immo scanner. None worked properly.

Module 53 doesn’t support this particular one with TC1791. When trying to read boot mode, identification of the ecu fails. Used all options of module 53. It cannot enter reprogramming mode. No meaningful error was produced.

It’s not supported bsl…module 32 obd only.

It was really pain in the balls working on this particular one.

However it couldn’t clone immo data. For immo part fjds/fdrs online only.

 What tool to program Porsche 2018+ smart keys?

Depends on the key style.

Old key:

Applicable to old Porsche models

• Macan 2014-2023
• Cayenne 2011-2017
• Panamera 2010-2016
• 911 2013-2018
• Boxster/Cayenne 2013-2016
• 718 2016-2023

these models use old key.

Autel IM608, IM608 II/IM508, Yanhua Mini ACDp/ACDP2, Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus, VVDI Prog+ VVDI2,  Xtool etc all these tools can program 2018+ Porsche old style keys (both add key and all keys lost).

Verify the key- placement of LED. If it’s right above the lock unlock, yes.. if around the logo, no.

Need BCM out.
With Xhorse you can read Porsche BCM with solder free adapter which is easier.

Yanhua also has Porsche interface board to read BCM without soldering.

Read Dflash, generate dealer key and learn key.

New key 

Applicable to new Porsche models

• Cayenne 2018-2023
• Panamera 2017-2023
• 911(992) 2019-2023
• Taycan 2019-2023

these models use new key.

Autel, Xtool, Xhorse etc CANNOT program new style MLB keys. Need MLB tool, i,e KYDZ MLB tool.

KYDZ will generate and program keys for the following Porsche MLB models

Taycan 2019-
Panamera 2017-
Panamera New Energy 2017-
Cayenne 2018-
Cayenne New Energey 2019-
911 2019-

Read KYDZ MLB tool instruction

How to Use KYDZ MLB Tool to Program VAG MLB Key?

So before asking which tool will add key or do all keys lost, check your key style first.

Question: Can anyone confirm xp400 pro from Autel im608 working with OTOFIX IM1 or IM2?

Answer:

It autel software but the hardware is just different which is why xp400pro isn’t compatible.
They are not cross-compatible. A few people already had confirmed it.

Working with xp1 pro

Programmer connection error when connecting OTOFIX with XP200

Programmer connection error when connecting OTOFIX with XP400 Pro.

The xp1 works with Autels windows based software.

Although some used IM1 with both xp200 and xp400, need luck. Better don’t use them interchangeably.

 Is it safe obd on Ford/PSA SID208 and SID209 ECU with Alientech KESS3?

Yes, it is safe, Our customers done a lot of Transit and Ranger adblue/dpf/egr etc…no issue.

Kess 3 with battery stabiliser, SID208 or 209 don’t like battery voltage under 12volts when read or write, never had an issue. Need 14 volts power.

Use power supply with a good battery, not only alimentation stabilised. Internal resistor is too high for use with standart alimentation and pic voltage down are not allowed for this ECU.

May need battery reset after flashing.

Feedback:

1. 2020 ranger 3.2 done with kessv3 by OBD.

2. Did a 2016 66 transit custom today and it was a sid208

3. Ford Ranger 3.2 2016 done with kess 3 no problem.

If failed to work by obd so benched it in place, used power supply that came with kess, worked no problems

In boot you will avoid problems just need ECU out.

NOTE:

1.). If reading a Ford SID209 (i.e 2015 ford transit 3.2 diesel) with OBD and said reading preparation failed and now van won’t start.

It just went into boot mode. Disconnect battery and leave it for 10 minutes and it will work again.

2). If reading Sid 208 from PSA more than 1 hour of communication without success.

disable antivirus, turn off the pc, turn it back on, turn off antivirus and it worked.

3).

According to user reports, flex is better on SID209. Flex is great on these sid208/209 , full memory over obd even eeprom (like boot read)

 What is the difference between OBDSTAR P003 and P003+ adapter?

Both adapters are used with OBDSTAR DC706 to read ECM/ECUs.

The P003+ adapter handles up to 4 right inputs, the normal P003 only has two.
It is doubled on the P003+ and P003+ has faster clock frequency than P003.

That’s one of the main differences.

OBDSTAR P003+ is compatible with P003 and supports the following models that require a higher frequency clock during the decryption process (ME9.0, MED9.1, MED9.6.1, ME9.6.1, MED9.5.10, EDC16C39, EDC16CP35, EDC16C8).

If DC706 says the function only supported by P003+ adapter and MP001, you cannot use normal P003.

FYI:

OBDSTAR MP001 handles up to 12 inputs and it has a faster clock frequency than P003/P003+.

Also, the MP001 has other capabilities as well it can also read eeproms and a couple of other things.
