Vehicle-specific file service

BMW ECU & TCU File Service

BMW ECU and TCU file service for workshops working with Bosch DDE/DME, EDC17, MD1, MG1 and supported transmission controllers.

BMW requests can span several generations of diesel and petrol control units, from established EDC17 and MED17 systems to newer MD1 and MG1 families. Correct vehicle, engine, ECU and read-method data is essential because the same model name can contain different hardware and software versions.

MG AutoTech keeps the original read, selected service, diagnostic notes, file versions and delivery history attached to one customer request. Compatibility is checked from the submitted file and identification data before processing.
