• OBD extension cable (If use KD-X4, no OBD extension cable is needed)
• KD TIB smart remote(don’t use KD ZB remote)
• Keydiy Toyota 30 pin cable
• Original smart key

Procedure:

Step 1: Generate TIB remote
Open TIB remote shell and insert a battery.

Connect OBD extension cable with KD-X6 and connect the other end to the OBD main cable.
Connect the OBD main cable to the vehicle’s OBD connector.

 

Go to Remote Function-Smart Match- Smart Match (Toyota 4D/8A).

 

Place the original key in the device’s sensing area.
Follow the prompts to collect original key data.

The detected result is Lexus B8. Frequency is 433.58/434.42MHz
Generate the program with KD TIB smart remote.
Choose Wireless Generation.
Put the KD TIB remote into the induction coil, press OK and proceed to the next step.
Press remote control any button to generate.
Generated TIB remote successfully.

Step 2: Back up immo data

Return to Home page.

Then connect the adapter cable to the OBD function extension cable. Don’t use other Toyoa 30 pin cbale in case it does not fit the OBD extension cable.

 

Turn off the igntion.
Turn on and flash the hazard lights once and turn them off.
Read and save EEPROM Data.

Step 3: Add Smart Key
Then choose Add Proximity Key function.
We have backed up the eeprom data, hit Yes to continue.
Turn on the ignition switch.
The ignition switch turns on when the dashboard lights up.
Select we have a backup EEPROM option.

Load the EEPROM file we just backed up.

Hold a working smart key close to the start button.
After the buzzer sounds once, remove the key from the start button.
Then hold the generated KD TIB key close to the start button.

After hearing two beeps, remove the key from the start button.
The KD TIB key has been programmed successfully.

FormulaFlash Read Audi Simos 18.1 ECU in Boot Mode

The Task: SIMOS 18.1

On the table we have an Audi SIMOS 18.1 ECU. Virtual reading doesn’t work in this case. We need to save data inside.

The Process: Boot Mode Reading withFormulaFlash

We’re waiting for the unit to heat up, then we’ll open it and pull everything out in boot mode — everything that’s inside. For the tests, we used the first unit and all the wires we possibly could.

Let’s check it. Right now we have this menu. Let’s try to connect. Power to the unit is on. It’s jumping. The process is underway. Waiting for a connection.

Power supply 13.6V.

Well, it read the EEPROM quickly. Now it’s reading the flash. Everything — let’s save it.

 

Checksum Verification

Formulaflash informed us that the checksums after the modification are naturally incorrect. It asked: "Should I fix it or not?” We answered: "Yes.” So it fixed it.

Now let’s check how well it calculates the checksum.

The Verdict

The FormulaFlash handled the job flawlessly in real-world conditions. From reading the eeprom and flash in boot mode to correcting the checksums after modification, the unit performed exactly as needed. A new beast in the gang, and it’s already proven itself in the field.

Flex Korhex Unlock DAF Delphi ETC3 UDS ECU

MMS Flex Korhex DAF Delphi ETC3 UDS locked ECU unlocking review:

With the new Flex + Korhex solution, ETC3 UDS units can now be unlocked and programmed directly in our workshop, eliminating the need to ship the control unit elsewhere.

Supported DAF models with Delphi ETC3 UDS:

• DAF CF (IV)
• DAF XF 106 (II) 2017–2024
• PACCAR MX-11 10.8L / MX-13 12.9L

 

"It’s a hard job to open the ECU. Took more than 1 hour to open the ECU.

Tips to open the case: Use a hydraulic press with wooden blocks to secure the connectors and prevent them from moving. Then, use a large pry bar to remove them.

You connect your 12v starter (or the one provided by flex on the tool) but the ECU you connect directly in 24V.
The only pins you use fromFLEXare CAN L / H and PW 1/2.
You need 2 power supply one 12v for flex box only!
And one for powering ecu ( so put +24v on pin 1 and 60 and ground on pin 57 ).
Start boot glitch unlocking.

After unlocking, no need to useKorHex.

Read and write with Flex, all done.”
