FLASHTEC

Flashtec started as an Italian company CMDtec which later moved from Italy to Switzerland and was renamed Flashtec. The developer originally came from Dimsport. They were the first to provide a stable OBD flash solution for the ECUs with an Infineon MPC555 processor such as Bosch EDC16 .

CMDflash: The first choice of professionals

At this moment Flashtec is the leading manufacturer of the tuning tool market because:

  • They are leading in research & development
  • They are continuously improving their tools
  • They have the most stable tuning tool
  • When you are a professional tuner or you want to tune the latest BMW or Audi, the tuning tools of Flashtec are a must.

Update:

Flashtec is again ahead of the competition. They released an update to flash most of the latest models of the Volkswagen group (VAG) via OBD.

CMDflash

The CMDFlash is the tuning tool made by Flashtec which combines an OBD tuning tool and bootmode tool. There are two versions available of the CMDflash; a master version and a slave version. The slave is connected to a master tool and can only write tuning files supplied by this master tool. The advantage of the slave tool is that it cheaper and contains the plugins enabled (bought) by the master. These plugins include:
