Dusted this tool off and renewed my subscription a while back and i'm glad I did.
It has read ISN's in odd DME's that other tools have not been able to.
The support through WhatsApp has also been on point.
The programmer has also read many Porsche BCM's with zero failures.
The tool has come a long way since I last looked at it.

This tool is too cheap for the capabilities. Microtronik wants to flood the market with it. Many remap companies will get very good competition from local garages doing remapping for the third price.
In general useful toy but would not be so sure doing Porsche 1N35H. You can ask support directly what is the success rate for it.
Guess u mean Locksmith cheapest option
But sometimes needs the expensive programming update option or if customers moan enough free as description deceiving saying can do all -
Or are u on about their ecu options as this is extra money
Personally being BMW I think this kit is the best

I was not to happy with there reply when I was trying to setup ISTA to use with Autohex 2..I really do not like to carry to much equipment as I do alot of mobile work. But I guess I will always bring my ICOM along when doing BMW Jobs.... I would of liked to use Autohex2 with ESYS and Ista..... There response was that since I had Icom better to use that... So I dont think I will be renewing my programming license... I did purchase the hexprog ecu clone license... $1000.00usd ouch.....
but other then that Its been a great tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even with full package if you do not have an active subscription you cannot retrieve long ISN, reset EGS ect ect. even though it says "free for life" on the license it's not free unless you pay for 12 month subscription ~♂️
this is like doing FEM/BDC where need to flash first, if you dont have programming/coding option, You can use advanced tab and update
im hoping the same applies for EGS, Would be silly to need to have subs for a "lifetime free" option, Quite contradictory that would be from MK
or maybe if you have esys to flash egs to latest istep, then you can reset without having subs
In account it says EGS reset "lifetime free" I was told by Autohex support that this is an error on server and it it not free, I sent screen shot also so there was no confusion as this doesn't make sense to me. Hopefully updating to latest SW would negate the need for online but I'm not to sure about that.
Turns out your right, however heres the twist, its not just EGS but the whole tool is based on having subs, I mean i wouldnt mind that if it was marketed as "need to have active subs to work" however just dont understand the "lifetime free" marketing when it could not be any further from the truth
