    MG Flasher is an app that allows users to flash select BMW ECUs. Some ECUs require a bench unlock, which involves connecting the ECU to a dealer's tool to unlock it before flashing. The app checks which security level the ECU requires and provides instructions for obtaining a bench unlock. It also lists the supported bootloader versions and details MG Flasher's unique unlocking method, which freezes the flashing counter and applies OBD read protection to deter software piracy while keeping the vehicle's CVN intact for warranty purposes. An update mentions that as of mid-2020, BMW increased ECU security further, blocking all current unlocking and tuning methods, and MG Flasher is working to

    MG Flasher Bench Unlock for Select BMW MG1 Bosch Aurix ECUs

    Download MG Flasher from the Play Store or App Store for free and connect to your vehicle using an
    ENET Wi-Fi adapter (or cable if you prefer); please refer to our User Manual for details on connecting to
    your vehicle. Once connected, press “Check for Support” to automatically check if your ECU requires
    bench unlocking services. If your ECU requires a bench unlock, please contact the closest Authorized
    Dealer who can provide this service by looking on our dealer map: https://www.mgflasher.com/dealer-
    locator/.

    Many different MG1 Aurix ECU bootloaders (BTLD) will be flash-able in MG Flasher (depending if server
    files are available). A handful of different bootloader IDs are already added (48DC, 4295 and 5D53) but
    to determine the security level (and bench unlocking is required) the version numbers are more
    important. You can determine the ID and version numbers in MG Flasher App (during first connect, or
    “Diagnostic Page” -> “Read ECU”) and through E-sys.

    The following bootloader versions are supported (sorted by increasing BTLD version numbers):

    BTLD-001.007.001 High Security (bench unlock required)


    BTLD-001.009.003 Low Security (in App, OBD unlockable)
    BTLD-001.011.001 Low Security (in App, OBD unlockable)
    BTLD-001.011.002 High Security (bench unlock required)
    BTLD-001.012.001 High Security (bench unlock required)
    BTLD-001.014.001 High Security (bench unlock required)
    BTLD-001.016.001 High Security (bench unlock required)
    BTLD-001.020.001 Low Security (in App, OBD unlockable)
    BTLD-001.020.002 High Security (bench unlock required)

    The app provides many fail-safe methods during flashing, and one of them is to detect if the ECU is
    unlockable via OBD. If it must be unlocked on the bench, we have enabled 3rd party unlock detection for
    greater compatibility with different bench tools. Magic Motorsport’s excellent FLEX tool is available for
    MG Flasher Authorized Dealers to purchase and use with our exclusive built-in unlocking method. MG
    Flasher’s unlock is unique and provides excellent features:

    - CVN is untouched (kept the same), helps with maintaining warranty


    - Flashing counter is frozen, helps with tune detectability
    - OBD read protection is applied, deterrent from software pirates

    Please contact us for bench unlock instructions/details.

    UPDATE: As of around July 2020, Bosch and BMW have updated their ECU hardware to further increase
    security against any methods of unlocking or tuning. Current universal methods for OBD and bench
    flashing has been entirely blocked on this new hardware revision. We are not aware of any companies
    who have successfully unlocked and flashed these ECUs (as of January 2021). MG Flasher plans to tackle
    this global problem over the coming months. Soon we will add detection to differentiate the newest
    ECU hardware and inform users in app when they have connected to a blocked ECU.
