Hi,
thinking to get one more tool for OBD flashing newer cars (virtual reads) as example CMD could take 20-25min to write for:
BMW(edc17, mdg1)
VAG (edc17, simos18),

PSA DCm6.2a
Mazda denso very bad (PCM read 10x times faster)
MB crd3xx (cdr3pluA0 read is 1,5hr,); most crd3 write 20-25min (merc can do on bench as easy to remove).




Can someone provide writing times for other tuning tools (for Europen cars)?
Specially interesting newer generation tools Flex, Autotuner, Bflash, and is Kessv3 (is kess v3 faster than kessv2)?


Thanks

flex always tells you all read write times before . u can even check without having the car.
dont get fooled by autotuners fast times. it reads only maps-ALWAYS

Autotuner writing time: (for only those which I flash and save some info)

SID208 (Transit Custom) - 25s
MED17.5.21 (A3 8V) - 8m 20s
EDC17C50 (BMW F20) - 9m 20s
EDC16U34 (A3 8P) - 1m 26s
EDC17C41 (E90 LCI) - 7m 11s
EDC17C70 (focus mk3) - 2m 3s
DCM6.1 (mondeo mk5) - 1m 45s
EDC17C84 (Vivaro B) - 2m 9s


those are only examples.. MGD1 I do on bech so read/write time is fast
