Common Questions & Concerns
Is Hexprog II suitable for occasional users, or is it only for full-time repair shops?
Hexprog II offers a Basic Set specifically designed for occasional users with flexible license leasing starting from USD 60 for 1, 2, or 7 days. There are no annual fees or hidden charges, making it cost-effective for technicians with irregular ECU tuning and repair jobs.
Does Hexprog II really support both old and new ECU/TCU models?
Yes, Hexprog II supports one of the industry's largest lists of ECUs/TCUs covering both legacy and latest units from major manufacturers including Bosch, Continental, Delphi, Marelli, Denso, Temic, TRW, and Valeo.
How does Hexprog II differ from the original Hexprog?
Hexprog II is specialized exclusively for ECU repair and chip tuning with full support for all ECU/TCU protocols and connections. In contrast, the original Hexprog is a multi-function device that also supports Immo modules like CAS and BCM with Key and EEPROM reset features, but lacks support for certain connection types like DAP, NBD, and some JTAG variants.
Can I read BMW ISN codes from modern BMW vehicles?
Yes, Hexprog II uniquely enables reading of complete long ISN codes from all BMW ECUs, including the latest Bosch MG1/MD1 DME/DDE units from 2005 to present, ensuring full compatibility with modern BMW vehicles.
What happens if an ECU is unresponsive or damaged?
Hexprog II provides two access methods: Bench Mode for direct access via power and signal wires without opening the ECU casing, and Boot Mode for internal board access when ECUs are unresponsive or damaged.
Will my ECU files be damaged or corrupt after modification?
Hexprog II includes built-in Auto Checksum support for Flash and External Flash memory, automatically correcting checksums after modifications to ensure files are valid and function correctly after flashing.
Can I offer additional services like DPF OFF or IMMO OFF to my customers?
Yes, Hexprog II integrates an online portal where users can directly request and purchase professional services like IMMO OFF, DPF OFF, EGR OFF, and AdBlue OFF, allowing technicians to offer these services to customers.
Is there technical support available if I encounter issues?
Hexprog II users can access the Hexprog Portal to submit support tickets, manage licenses, and access online services. A demo account is available to explore the platform before purchase.
