Unlocking late-model Bosch MDG1 ECUs no longer has to be a risky or tedious process. We are proud to introduce our latest MDG1 Unlock Solutions, designed to give professional tuners and workshops the exact level of hardware access they need.

Whether you demand maximum safety and speed or require a budget-friendly entry point, we offer two distinct approaches to suit your workflow.

1. Professional Solution: EMP Glitch Unlock (Recommended)

Fast, safe, and hassle-free. The ultimate standard for modern MDG1 bench tuning.

Our top-tier professional package utilizes cutting-edge Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) technology (powered by specialized third-party hardware) to bypass Bosch security without modifying the electronics.  Go to the shop

Key Advantages:

• No Board Removal Needed: Simply open the ECU cover—there is no need to unglue or flip the PCB from its aluminum housing, eliminating the risk of trace damage or board warping.

• Component-Safe Process: Zero soldering, no desoldering, and no component removal required on the circuit board.

• Maximum Safety & Speed: Ultra-fast execution with minimal risk, saving valuable shop time.

• Plug-and-Play Efficiency: Designed for high-volume workshops that prioritize reliability and speed.

Cons to Consider:

• Higher Investment: The specialized EMP pulse hardware is produced by an external manufacturer, making the initial setup cost significantly higher compared to traditional methods. CW520 ChipSHOUTERER

2. Economy Solution: Voltage Glitch Unlock

An affordable entry point for price-sensitive projects.

For clients seeking a low-cost alternative, we also offer the Voltage Glitch method. While this remains a highly requested choice due to its accessible pricing, it carries several well-known technical trade-offs.   Go to the shop

What to keep in mind:

• Requires intricate component handling on the PCB.

• Higher risk of physical or electrical damage during the glitch process.

• Takes significantly more labor time and precision compared to the EMP solution.

For those who prefer not to use voltage or EMP glitching, our mail-in service remains fully available to our customers.

The DQ381 protocol has been upgraded to include the latest GEN2 version (Bench and OBD).
If the OBD protocol requires a OBD Unlock, a message will be prompted; the patch will then be 
automatically applied during the first Bench tuned file write

OBD
FORD CONTINENTAL SID212: R/VR/W/CHK/Recovery
The protocol has been upgraded to include Virtual Reading support and enhanced detection for
ECUs previously modified by third-party tools. These modifications typically involve altering the
primary RSA key, which renders standard dealer-level flashing and updates impossible.

FULL OBD
FORD CONTINENTAL SID212: R/VR/W/CHK/Recovery

This new FULL OBD protocol allows you to manage the map area of the CONTINENTAL SID212  ( EVO ) ECUs.
Bench unlocking is not required. This OBD protocol can also be used on the bench if you are working with the ECU alone. Protocol is exceptionally fast — approximately 3 minutes for both reading and writing.

Note: This protocol is designed for ECUs that have not been previously tampered with by other tools that modify RSA keys or Seed/Key access levels for OBD communication.

Benchmarks

• Real Read: Approx. 3 minutes

• Writing: Approx. 3 minutes

OBD
IVECO BOSCH MD1CS069 FULL OBD  R/W/CHK/Recovery
This new OBD protocol allow you to manage the map area of BOSCH MD1CS069 ECU.
The solution operates directly through the diagnostic port.

Warning: SGW Bypass may be required for OBD programming.

The OBD protocol can also be used with the ECU on the bench.

 Expansion of OBD Writing Protocols (Porsche .PDX)

Building on the proven architecture of our VAG .FRF, .ODX, and .SGO writing tool, we are pleased to announce the deployment of OBD support for Porsche .PDX files. This update extends our flashing capabilities to both Porsche ECU and TCU modules.

Key Technical Details:

• Protocol Consistency: The workflow remains identical to our existing VAG OBD tool, ensuring a seamless transition for current users.

• Initial Database: Our online repository currently hosts over 1,500 validated .PDX files.

• Ongoing Development: We are committed to scaling this database. User-submitted logs and files will play
