Reading the ECU:

Choose the make and type of the engine's ECU you want to read/write from a list. If you have any doubt about your ECU type you can verify it.

When the dialogue window appears, click on INFO and wait for the program to communicate with the ECU.

You will see the information about your ECU type. Just click on READ to assure that we have a copy of the original file (It’s highly recommended to save a backup case there’s a problem).

The program starts reading the ECU. Please do not interrupt this process.

Choose where you want to save the original file and name it. To simplify it, name it with the numbers that appear in the window information of the ECU.

It will ask you to turn the key of the ignition off. After turning off the ignition, press OK.

Writing the ECU:

Choose the make and type of the ECU and click on INFO. Open the file for your vehicle or ECU type.

In the right of the window you will see the reference of the ECU that corresponds to the open file. To confirm that this information matches with your ECU type, verify the numbers in both windows.

If you are absolutely sure that everything you did is correct, click on PROG. The system will now erase the memory on the ECU and flash program it with the new file. Do not interrupt this process.

When it’s finished, turn the ignition off, confirm by pressing OK and you’re done

 

VAG (Volkswagen Automotive Group) Instruments Deactivation

For Volkswagen/Audi/Seat/Skoda vehicles, before communicating with the ECU, the instruments panel must be deactivated. Open the fuse box and remove the 5A fuse shown in red on the diagram above. With the instruments panel off you can try communicating with the ECU.
