Flex ver 3.13.0.0 – smarter OBD protocols

Smart, fast and safe: that is how we would define the results of our last efforts. Our new Flex update implements many OBD protocols for both engine and transmission control units: in order to improve the user experience, our developers realized smart solutions that are able to identify automatically what is the best way to read or write the control unit you are connected to.

This applies for example on the very common VAG DSG DQ200 (7 speed dry clutch gearbox) & DQ250 (6 speed wet clutch gearbox) families, which used to include many protocols and versions. On Flex everything can be done without having to worry about not being able to identify which type of DQ200 or DQ250 you are dealing with.

The same logic was used to realize a generic Ford Continental EMS2xxx protocol which includes already several different new ECUs not available by X17, and more will come later on. Of course this is also accompanied by a general improvement of the stability and speed compared with the same protocols on older tools.

New protocols added:
