Kia/Hyundai Continental SIM2K solutions via OBD Full and Bench

Flex 6.25.0.0 out now

The new solutions for programming in OBD Full and Bench modes have been released for Continental SIM2K-2xx engine control units equipped on Kia and Hyundai vehicles.

The first step is to unlock the ECU in Bootloader mode so it will be possible to perform the connections in OBD Full and Bench without having to reopen the ECU each time.

The released protocols allow to read and write the full content of Flash and EEPROM memories.
Moreover, with the latest update (ver 6.25.0.0), Flex implements CRC on internal EEPROM for DCM6.x and DCM7.x ECUs.

Here are some of the supported vehicles:

• Hyundai Elantra 2.0L G4NA (2016)
