Ever had to turn a late-model vehicle away, or tell a customer their car would sit with you for days while the ECU got shipped out for a specialist bench unlock? That ends today.
Viezu Technologies is excited to share a major boost to what tuners can do, thanks to Magic Motorsport's newest software update.
Selected Bosch MDG1 ECUs can now be unlocked in your own shop, so there's no need to send compatible units away before tuning. For Viezu dealers and tuning partners around the world, that means a faster, leaner workflow and the ability to keep valuable modern tuning jobs entirely in-house, starting now.
In our recorded live session, the tech team explains what the update means for your business, which vehicles it covers and how to get the workflow running. Watch the video
Why the MDG1 Unlock Matters So Much
For independent tuners, Bosch's MD1 (diesel) and MG1 (gasoline) platforms have long been a choke point. Tight factory security meant unlocking required very specialized off-site work, and the added turnaround and shipping hassle often made customers think twice.
With this FLEX update, you run the unlock right on your bench. After that, you have full read and write access to compatible ECUs in Bench mode, so you can offer a premium same-day tuning service.
What it does for your tuning business:
- Unlock in the shop: no more boxing up ECUs or depending on third-party shipping.
- Much faster turnaround: multi-day jobs become simple, efficient same-day work.
- Smooth Bench workflow: read and write compatible ECUs easily in Bench mode after the unlock.
- Broader coverage: open up a huge, highly profitable range of modern vehicles right away.
- A pro customer experience: the quick, efficient, dependable service today's owners expect.
Which Vehicles Are Covered?
The update brings local unlocking for a wide spread of ECUs used by major global automakers, including:
- Volkswagen Audi Group (VW, Audi, SEAT and Škoda)
- BMW
- Ford
- Jaguar Land Rover
- Hyundai & Kia
- Stellantis Group
