Magic - Flex tool impressions

1
Hi , i m opening this thread due to i need know what is the opinon from other tuners for that tool .

I have it since it produced , but i do not trust it . In my opinon it has some issue with checksum correction to a lot protocol . Let me share some of my issues, BMW 320i-msd80 ecu read/write on bench , i read it ,make it nox off with swiftec solution write back car not start at all , same file correct checksum with winols start and run all fine . Other car-problem MB A45AMG MED17.2.2 ecu using obd option , make id get virtual file make my tune file write it back (super fast almost 40sec) car starts & stops. i restore to ori all fine . i use a friends Dimsport Genius same tune file car starts perfect .  i have some other issues such as dq200 mqb read file on bench, tune file try to write incorect file size error,i even choose actual read file again file size error.Finnaly, i destroyed a cla45 amg tcu getrag VGS2-FDCTG2 after read full read , and try to write tune file after many atempts car lost comunication each time i flash a tune file ,hopefully it restored by writing back full back up. i contact mms helpdesk they told me it might be a checksum correction and they will check it,after some days they come back and send me 2 files for testing . i write first  file car not start -lost comunication but this time i can not restore tcu with full backup read , after some talking i realize that the files they send me was only with map area and i write them to bootloader mode .brand new tcu from MB i replace it offcourse ,mms give me 1 more year subs for free .

Why you say this.

I have X17, flex, Fgtech, kess and Ktag,   none of these are perfect, but on some ecu one is best of other.

On vag ford and bmw x17 is the best,  it never lock a ecu in my case.

I do not use Flex and X17 a lot
X17 in the beginning For VAG and now a lot for Denso (bench)
Flex i use only for ZF8HP gearbox flash thru obd wich works very good.
But on bench it let me down a lot about coms errors, i alwasy use Autotuner for bench and Obd on newer cars
