With this tool I was able to fix my own half-flashed map with a complete one, from scratch. The car wouldn't start but MPPS recovered the bad flash. Very handy. The fail is on one of my other videos.
You need the cable, the software for the cable, and some software to edit your map file once you have it copied off the ecu. If you have that you can remap it. I got an extra 19 horsepower out of my little 75bhp diesel - very noticeable :)
@@vPerformance These videos were from 7 years ago - which software would you find most reliable for remapping vehicles - mostly Toyota d4d's and Mercedes ?
I'm afraid I don't have that much experience. I couldn't even tell you which ecu was in those. Nowadays I'm older and wiser and I just pay an expert to do my mapping
I use VAGSuite because it's good and its free. There are other options like Trionics or WinOls. They're tricky to use though. MPPS just does reads and writes but seems safer than the Galettos.
I do this for a living, but on open ECU's provided by the OEM. We shove an extra 10deg on the ignition timing no problem. It does make it noisy though!
I learned to do them from scratch. You can buy files off ebay but you'd have to be nuts to flash one to your car! Some of the tune files available are boredering-on-dangerous! What kind of car have you got?
hopeful my Toyota BZG Levin i get it on the 3rd of december cant wait just need the gear to do it and do abit of research into what other people have done to their ecus in the levins
Thanks for this complete video of the Reading/Flashing process ! I may do this with a Leon II TDI90, because I got the warm start problem but I'm so scared to f*** up the ECU.
Thanks for this fella. I think I'm brave enough to give it a go after watching this. To start with I'm just going to download the standard file from the car, just to check everything's working as it should be. Then I'll investigate remap options - anyone have any recommendations for non-VAG software?
you changed ignition timing on a diesel? maybe you should slow down a little and understand what your doing. theres no ignition timing on a diesel, its pump injection timing. do you even have an egt set up/installed in the car?
Let me see if i understand! First you press READ to get the original map of ecu, right? After that you change the original map in vag edc suite, or another program! And after you change'd the map press WRITE? Sorry for bad english! Please answer!
I'm probably going to buy all this gear tomorrow. Can you completely map everything yourself? You don't have to buy anything after you've bought the software and cables etc? And did you notice a difference after the remap? Cheers.
Hey I have mpps and I copy my map of my ecu and save it on my desktop and if I try to load it back its says is not the correct file type what program do you use for your maps and what do you save the map as. I have winOLS but I can't figure out how to use it
Hello. I have a question. I have a Peugeot 207 1.4 8v Flex, with ECU Bosch 7.4.9. I have it's map file and now after remapping it's file with a professional guy, want to know that MPPS can write this Remap file on my ecu with OBD2? Thanks
Doubt I'll get a reply where did you buy the tuning tool used in the vid or if you have better on that said tool looking to learn out to self remap even is I can learn how to delete egr and cat sensors
I bought it from ebay back in 2012, but you can still buy MPPS clones on Amazon. No idea if they work though! You'll be taking your chances amzn.to/33uWDb4

Hello, and thank you very much for this video! I will reprogram my Clio RS soon, and I had a question related to your video. Is it necessary to connect a charger to the car battery? For what reason? What type of charger? Thank you in advance!
He actually did that so the car batery maintain the 12 volt rate, if it goes lower than 10 volts the ecu memory chips will crash and you will lose your whole ecu Im not sure if this will come in handy because you commented that 5 years ago, but still
Hi my Friend great video, i am a complete amateur, but can i use the smps unit you use to delete a dpf, your video didnt show how to change or manipulate the down loaded maps, thank you for ypur help. Jay
So... If I got it right, you can edit your ECU map by using MPPS? or do you need an aditional software to do that. (in this case MPPS is just for reading/writing it down to the ECU). If so, what kind of software do you use? And great video btw.. :)
Hello there, what software version of MPPS do you use v13.02 or v16? And what does "This program can be run 128 times before updating hardware" mean? What is going to happen after those 128 times of usage?
I did this, bought a tune and when it goes to write it says done in like 3 sec. that can’t be right can it? I’m trying to load a EGR delete and eco tune. 2006 Jetta TDi BRM Engine. I’m in the states.

So from where you get the remap files and is it only charger and mpps and laptop what you need does it work with pathfinder r51 2007 4wd and is there remap files for it?
Hey ive got a ??! About that mpps i bought on, the clone off ebay and for the life of me i can not get it to read my 01 tdi beetle just comes up with an error.. and to pull the #11 fuse. Wich iv done and no change.. iv also read my 04 jetta 1.8t gas reads it fine but vag suite dosnt recognize the files.. any help would be awsome... thanks in Advance

Hi great informative and inspiring video Would you be able to provide me with a link to where i could obtain an MPPS like yours wih the same version of software I've looked on ebay but i can only find 'cable versions' claiming to be that version and not the ally box type like yours, so im not sure if they would be as good as yours or not Just as a matter of interest, what is your opinion on that?

I was checking Ksuite for my Audi R8 Bosch Med9.1.2 ECU and it doesn't allow OBDII flashing. Would you say this is correct? If so, is there any way to do live tunes on a dyno?
Can this do the 2000 Toyota Tacoma 3.4l v6 5vz de engine? I just know it’s a Denso ecu, for that model year, (97-04) but I have no idea what processor or code it’s using. But it is a Closed loop.
+vPerformance One thing people don't understand about "Data components" is: As long as the electric components are not smashed (physically broken) you can ALWAYS reprogram them into working again ! it's just a bunch of 1 & 0 in the end, that are programmed onto chips/eproms etc. It's just a question about knowledge and understanding on HOW to reprogram (what programmer-tool, software etc.) someone maybe have to write a new program to be able to do it, but still it is possible ! A data component can't be "locked" like many people seem to think (Ok, it can be done if someone breaks off a "Pin" or something on the component) Just wanted to clear that out ! And of course your dealer will tell you that you have to buy a new "immobilizer" or something else ! Because first off: they make money of it ! And second, I don't think they have the knowledge to fix a "programmable" error... And also are told by the people on top that it can't be done...
top guy , we need this kind of people , clear and clean explanations
I love how VLC is trying to open your remaps :D
It's such a helpful little app VLC :D
Yeah I've started doing those videos now, my two newest ones are more detail on the maps. There are more videos to come!

Jeeezus haven't laughed that hard in a while.
Greetings from South Africa
Howzit! It's always a good idea to avoid writing spreadsheets and adult films to your ecu.

Such a great video in how to do a reamp, spot on used a few times and it's such great instruction to how do it brilliant
Just to make sure there's a minimum 12 volts in the battery. Sometimes a flash can fail because the voltage is unstable or too low.
I use VAGSuite because it's good and its free. There are other options like Trionics or WinOls. They're tricky to use though. MPPS just does reads and writes but seems safer than the Galettos.
I really enjoyed this video sir.very well done.
Very methodical and clear and precise.
I don't supply modified files, you must be looking for someone else. I'm just a bloke with a cable from ebay.
I do this for a living, but on open ECU's provided by the OEM. We shove an extra 10deg on the ignition timing no problem. It does make it noisy though!
Very helpful video btw, inspired me to try tuning :) :)

ARTAUD Franck MPPS can normally recover a failed write, but play it safe!
Where did you get the tuning Maps to write on the ECU?
How you add fuel?
Advance timing?
Etc...
The version I installed didn't ask about firmware, that was version 12.0.0.6
04:00 OMG never touch it when working!!!!!
I know I know. I'm an idiot.
Excellent video. Great stuff. Regards,
hi mate what program did you use to tweak the ecu parameters?
in case something went wrong can i just re-flash the old ECU backup or do i need to do something else?
Thanks man ! Very clean video !
Great video!!
Plus you talk exactly like Dom Bower, another guy I follow!!
Is that a good thing? ;)
Yeah mate, his videos are great, if you like that stuff anyway haha
I wonder if a remap file could be saved as a plug in and installed using torque pro app and my phone??
just ordered mpps cant wait till it gets here!!!
About £50 for the OBD2 kit, already had the laptop though. The power supply was £30.
Some french car ECUs will stay active for several minutes by effect of the Engine control relay.

Great job!
Great video, I'm looking to flash the JCW210 map on my Cooper S, this will hopefully help a lot!
Would that Mini have the BMW/peugeot 1600 turbo?? If so where did you get the JCW210 map, and did it work well mate?
Any chance to upload video or briefly explain how to modify stock map from scratch. Thanks in advance again
Hi , does your software come with the interface ?? I can't seem to download MPPS legit anywhere .
Super video!!!!👍👍👍
you changed ignition timing on a diesel? maybe you should slow down a little and understand what your doing. theres no ignition timing on a diesel, its pump injection timing. do you even have an egt set up/installed in the car?
lol
Hmmm, not a very credible source,lol
minor0confusion also the timing if a turbo is in place should be retarded at full throttle, wouldn’t be advancing it unless N/A
Hy thanks for you time.
its 1st video I've seen about the mpps ill be watching more ved can this tools be used for many other vehicles?
Let me see if i understand! First you press READ to get the original map of ecu, right? After that you change the original map in vag edc suite, or another program! And after you change'd the map press WRITE? Sorry for bad english! Please answer!
Nice video man! you got me thinking...
One question: can you actually increase/edit the idle on cold starts?
Good vid mate.. Cheers
I'm probably going to buy all this gear tomorrow. Can you completely map everything yourself? You don't have to buy anything after you've bought the software and cables etc? And did you notice a difference after the remap? Cheers.
Nah you can turn it on straight away. Transferring the map itself takes about 3 mins so maybe that's it. MPPS shows you how long to wait step-by-step.
Hey I have mpps and I copy my map of my ecu and save it on my desktop and if I try to load it back its says is not the correct file type what program do you use for your maps and what do you save the map as. I have winOLS but I can't figure out how to use it
