Some stock ECU's can not be remaped via the OBD port and instead require the ECU to be removed and programmed outside of the vehicle. Since the introduction of the Bosch EDC17 & MED17 Tricore ECU’s the remapping process had to take a different root. Once the ECU has been removed from the vehicle we use our specialist equipment to connect directly to the tricore processor inside the ECU. Once connected we are able to read and write software from and to the ECU. This really is the only safe way to of remapping this type of ECU.
When these ECU’s were first used before 2009 they never had any protection or "anti-tune software" installed so remapping via the OBD port was always possible without risk. At the turn of 2009 manufacturers started to use this same ECU but with revised software which prevented the remapping via the OBD port and meant we had to connect directly to the board. It is not unusual for some of the earlier ECU’s to have had the later software installed when serviced at the main dealer.
