VW Golf TDI MK7 w/ MPPS

[Danny3162]

Hello, I am looking at tuning my 2015 MK7 Golf with a 2.0 TDI. I bought a mpps clone version 16. It will "ECU ID" just fine, and will start to read after clicking button. I will say probing address and read for about 45 seconds, then ask me to save the file. I believe this is an EDC17 in this car according to the MPPS software. When I open the bin file in winOLS, it is nothing but FFFFFFFFFFFF. I am now seeing something about t-prot which prevents access over OBD. My question is can this version of MPPS be used to tune this car? If not what would be a good option that is not too expensive? I am not looking to be a pro tuner, just want to be able to tune my own cars.

Other info: Computer is running win vista 32 bit
- tried data only and full read options in MPPS

you will need any original tool to VR and write that ecu over obd, look for original kess, autotuner, x17

What if I pull and bench flash? are there clones that can bench flash this ecu?

For example, could I use this mpps v16 to bench flash by soldering correct pins or do I have this concept completely wrong? If I can I will likely get a spare ECU incase I screw something up. On a side note I have a 2.5L MK5 Jetta. Will this tool be safe to use on that car over OBD? I believe it is an ME7.1.1
