MERCEDES BOSCH MD1 / MG1 BOOT GLITCH UNLOCKING — NOW AVAILABLE IN-HOUSE
Another major expansion to our latest-generation Mercedes-Benz ECU tuning capability.
Using Magic Motorsport Flex with Korhex, Precision Remaps UK can now carry out specialist Boot Glitch unlocking on supported Mercedes-Benz Bosch MD1CP001 and MG1CP002 engine control units equipped with the SPC5777 processor.
NEWLY SUPPORTED
* Bosch MD1CP001
* Bosch MG1CP002
* SPC5777 processor
* Flex 8.17.0.0 protocol support
* Korhex EMFI Boot Glitch access
WHAT IS KORHEX / EMFI BOOT GLITCH?
Modern Bosch MD1 and MG1 ECUs incorporate considerably more sophisticated processor-level security than previous EDC17 and MED17 generations.
For these supported Mercedes applications, Flex works in conjunction with Korhex using EMFI — Electromagnetic Fault Injection technology.
Korhex is positioned over the ECU processor and, following the Flex-guided procedure, electromagnetic fault injection is used during the processor’s startup sequence to obtain the required level of access to the SPC5777 microprocessor.
This allows us to access supported protected ECUs without the more intrusive procedures traditionally associated with certain Boot Mode operations.
For supported MD1CP001 / MG1CP002 applications:
* No soldering directly onto the PCB
* No processor removal
* No component removal
* Flex-guided Boot Glitch procedure
* ECU data backed up before modification
* Unlocking and calibration handled in-house
* Professional bench equipment and controlled workshop environment
IN-HOUSE ECU UNLOCK — £300
Our £300 unlock fee covers the specialist Flex + Korhex Boot Glitch procedure required to gain access to the ECU.
Performance tuning and additional software calibration are priced separately depending on the vehicle, ECU software version and customer requirements.
Once successfully unlocked, supported calibration options can include:
* Stage 1 performance tuning
* Stage 2 calibration where vehicle hardware permits
* Custom torque calibration
* Torque monitoring calibration
* VMAX / speed limiter adjustment
* Throttle and torque request optimisation
* Readiness calibration
* Supporting ECU software solutions where applicable
* Calibration for modified vehicles
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
These newer Bosch MD1 and MG1 platforms are substantially more secure than earlier generations.
On some applications, standard OBD or conventional Bench access is not sufficient to obtain the access required for programming.
Historically this could mean sending the ECU to another specialist for unlocking before tuning could even begin, adding additional cost, shipping risk and vehicle downtime.
With Flex + Korhex now available in-house, we can manage the process ourselves:
Vehicle diagnosis → ECU identification → ECU removal → Bench connection → Korhex positioning → EMFI Boot Glitch → ECU access → Original software backup → Calibration → Programming → Refit → Diagnostics → Testing
This gives us greater control over the entire process and significantly reduces reliance on third-party ECU unlocking services.
TRADE & POSTAL ECU SERVICES
We can also provide this service for:
* Independent tuning companies
* Garages
* Diagnostic technicians
* Auto electricians
* Performance specialists
* Motor traders
* Other automotive businesses requiring ECU unlocking
If you only require the ECU to be unlocked ready for your own calibration work, trade enquiries are welcome.
