Foxflash: Yes,OBD, bench and boot
MEDC17.9 OBD is in the foxflash driver list.
Foxflash is the cheapest option among these tools.
But if the ECU has OTP protected, you need to do bench or use breakout to do it via OBD on bench.
For example:
OBD on the bench reading the MEDC17.9 with foxflash programmer+ godiag gt100 breakout box. I want to try and write the modified files via OBD after an OBD read. The ECU data that had been corrupted is now all OK.
I have had an interesting case with this ECU MEDC17.9 that had failed and had the OTP block. I read the Full flash via OBD, had the flash modified to delete CAT/AdBlue/DPF and EGR (use a tuning file service). When I got the modified file back, I decided to write it via Bench mode. I did the checksum correction using the original flash and flashed it via Bench mode 100% without any problems. The car is now starting and has no faults whatsoever and drives very well. We had brought it on a flatbed. Another great success with FoxFlash and a bit of experimenting.
