Unlock Bosch MEDC17 ECUs on the Bench with the New Trasdata e-GPT Kit
The automotive tuning world is constantly evolving, demanding tools that are not only powerful but also versatile and easy to use. Building upon the legacy of its successful predecessor, the New Trasdata emerges as a unique solution for professionals working with engine control units (ECUs). This advanced tool significantly simplifies reading and programming operations across a vast range of microprocessors used in modern vehicles, employing JTAG, BDM, and BOOT modes. Now, with the introduction of the New Trasdata e-GPT kit specifically designed for Bosch MEDC17 ECUs in Bench Mode, the capabilities of this system are further expanded, offering a streamlined approach to ECU tuning and reprogramming.
Expanding the Horizons of ECU Programming with New Trasdata
The New Trasdata was engineered to support an extensive array of microprocessors found in the automotive sector. Its intuitive design and innovative features, such as automatic plugin identification and full ECU firmware backup, have made it a favorite among tuning specialists. Crucially, the New Trasdata opens up advanced JTAG communication, particularly vital for accessing and modifying ECUs in Asian vehicles, alongside comprehensive support for BDM and BOOT applications. This broad compatibility ensures that technicians are equipped to handle diverse ECU architectures.
New Trasdata e-GPT kit and its components for ECU bench tuning
The range of supported microprocessors is extensive, encompassing:
- Motorola MPC5xx (BDM mode)
- Motorola MC68xxx (BDM mode)
- Motorola MPC55xx (JTAG mode)
- Renesas SH705x (AUD/BOOT mode)
- Mitsubishi MH72xx/MH82xx (BOOT mode)
- Infineon Tricore (BOOT mode)
- ST Microelectronics ST10xxx (BOOT mode)
- Motorola HC12 (BDM mode)
- Renesas M32R (BOOT mode)
- NBD NEC M32R (Toyota TF010 CPU Group)
This extensive coverage makes the New Trasdata a truly universal tool for ECU programming.
Introducing the e-GPT Kit for Bosch MEDC17 Bench Mode
The latest enhancement to the New Trasdata system is the e-GPT kit, a specialized accessory meticulously crafted for Bosch MEDC17 ECU bench mode operations. This kit revolutionizes the process of reading and writing these ECUs by enabling direct connection to the ECU pins, eliminating the need to physically open the ECU. This bench mode capability is crucial for tuners seeking a non-invasive and efficient method for ECU recalibration and chip tuning.
The New Trasdata E-GPT Kit For Bosch MEDC17 Bench Mode – identified by part number K34NTA22 – includes the necessary hardware adapter and three distinct cable sets. These components are designed for seamless integration with existing New Trasdata Master and Slave tools. Importantly, the plug-ins for the e-GPT kit are incorporated into the already available Tricore family plugins. This means that existing users with a valid subscription to the Tricore family will automatically gain access to the Bosch MEDC17 bench mode functionality for both Master and Slave tools, ensuring a cost-effective upgrade path.
Key Advantages of the e-GPT Kit:
- Direct ECU Pin Connection: Enables reading and writing without opening the ECU.
- Bench Mode Operation: Provides a stable and controlled environment for ECU programming.
- Specifically for Bosch MEDC17: Tailored solution for this widely used ECU type.
- Hardware Adapter and Cable Sets Included: Comprehensive kit for immediate use.
- Software Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing New Trasdata software and Tricore family plugins.
Enhancing OBDII Capabilities and TPROT Circumvention
Beyond bench mode operations, the New Trasdata tool significantly expands the vehicle coverage of New Genius devices via OBDII. For ECUs equipped with “anti-tuning” or TPROT (Tuning PROTection), the New Trasdata can apply a software patch. This patch effectively bypasses the protection, unlocking OBDII communication and allowing subsequent programming with New Genius. This feature is invaluable for workshops dealing with modern vehicles that employ sophisticated anti-tampering measures.
Furthermore, New Trasdata facilitates complete ECU content management, including reading and programming the entire ECU contents – microprocessor, flash Eprom, and serial Eeprom. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of the ECU firmware can be accessed and modified. After initial reading, the system always allows for restoring the ECU to its original state, providing a safety net during tuning procedures. Automatic checksum correction is also performed during the writing process, further simplifying the tuning workflow.
These operations can be performed without soldering, thanks to a wide array of programming adapters designed for connection between the New Trasdata and the ECU when used with a BDM positioning frame. This no-solder approach saves time and reduces the risk of damage during ECU manipulation.
