I agree. It's the next level, but I've heard horror stories about programming gone wrong and the shop being on the hook for bigx bucks. If bricking an expensive module is inevitable, then definitely seems like a gamble. Gotta calculate risk v reward.
@@SuperMarioDiagnostics: If module "bricked", i assume we mean that the core firmware got corrupted; and by recovery we mean burning a clean copy of core firmware back on module so tech can start over with VIN specific updates. Am i close??
Mario this was SUPER HELPFUL! Have a beached whale E63 AMG here that needs a new ECM. Might have to invest in the Phoenix MAX to avoid a trip to the Mercedes dealer!
@@SuperMarioDiagnostics hey Mario with the help of your video I used my Launch PadV to program the new dealer ECM on the 2010 E63 AMG! IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Was actually too easy 😅 But I was a little bit nervous pressing that YES button lol 😬. Car runs like a beast, customer is very happy 💪
Hi Mario, thank you for the information. I was curious about programming a Mercedes with the Topdon. I usually use Autel MS909 even though I would rather use Xentry but is out of my budget. One recommendation is to use "initial startup" instead of "programming'' when programming a new module. This option will guide you through all required steps (program, coding and adaptations). Something I noticed about the programming was that the new software level was older than the original (old). This is common with Autel as well. Unfortunately in the aftermarket industry some times we don't have other option than downgrade the software in order to program and code a new module. This is the reason some people don't recommend using aftermarket tools to program. Unfortunately some times the manufacturer doesn't give us other options unless we want to spend a lot of money. In MB case about $30k for the factory tool .
As a Benz technician it’s cool to watch someone program with an aftermarket tool. Watching your videos helped me pull the pin on buying a Topdon tool for side jobs out of the dealership. Now I’m wishing I got this one instead of the Phoenix Plus 😂
Thank you for the video. I love seeing these video . I am in the process if learning how to program and coding ecu. I would love to see more videos likes this.
Dear Mario please try to Shoot that tranning class And post it on Your channel So it will also be helpful for guys like me Who are not From America but watching your channel for learning By the way I am From INDIA 🇮🇳
Thanks Mario, excellent information, I had already done programming in some German vehicles with Odis, I recently bought a Topdon scanner, but I have observed that the programming process with Topdon is more complex, Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love the detailed walkthrough you did here. The more I’ve learned about programming in the acr industry though, the more I’ve learned to hate it. Then again I am no mechanic, i work on vehicles as a side hobby to my Electrical Engineering job. But man the cost of programming and coding adds up fast lol.
Great introduction to programming. Lots of small things but very important to learn from this video. Keep up the good work. I know you said you were not planning to do more but I hope more people ask you for more to change your mind😉 Recently subscribed and love your channel

So the program is provided by Topdon and what you have done here is transfer it's information to the new Benz module and that process is called 'programming'. Can the Topdon change the program to include, say, a capacity to turbocharge a non turbocharged engine without throwing codes?
in regards to the programming such as, ECU, PCM, TCM, BCM, Airbag Module, Fuel Pump Module and others modules that requires programming. Can you please recommend an auto programming tool where, you plug in and play the software and just prompt options on the screen.???
@@SuperMarioDiagnostics any recommendations? Or any friends to recommend? . Paying for education is never a problem with me. I don't believe I should just be given someone's hard earned learned skills for free.

hello Mario . could you please tell me what kind scanner I need to do the programation the adblue system module in 2016 Mercedes benz sprinter 2500 2.1 diesel engine ?, I replace that unit but I don't know if that need to be programing after replacement .. in the cluster I have message there is 2 start left any help very appreciate
Hello Mario. a great question I see that you use several scanners. What is the difference or which scanner is better between. phoenix max. and ISCAN3. Autoland. I would like to know your experience and what would be the best choice between these 2 types of scanner? Thank you
I have a 1998 S320 Mercedes Benz, Camshaft Position sensor comes back, we checked & changed everything, camshaft shaft position sensor, crankshaft sensor, spark plugs, alternator, magnet, wiring and timing, fault code comes back, can you reprogram or clone my ECM
Mario, I’m surprised (and actually concerned) that they had you set up a VPN in order to download files from Topdon. Why would they have this set up where a free internet country (USA) user needs to trick the download server via VPN to hide their origin?
The Dealer told me my car, 2004 ML350, can not be fixed. The AAM went out and is now obsolete. Does anyone know a work a round because these computer are specific to each car and you can not substitute used parts. Great body , tires, interior, I need help!?
Mario, thanks for the video! One question: Can I use the Phoenix Max to program an used ECU just like you did? I just got a used ECU and went thru the programming process. Everything went fine, but the car does not crank. Any advise?
So many parts for programming one module and anywhere along the programming that module could become an expensive door stop! I'm sure you've done many of these modules but unless you have training for this, the programing could become very confusing.
hello Mario, does topdon come with the software to program most modules on all cars or is there any downloading like a regular PC such as java and all that stuff. thanks
Hi Mario, This is great educational video! Wanted to ask would this be possible on TOPDON Phoenix Max (they state that it has the same software)? Great job!!! Thanks.
Rumor has it that mercedes is starting to clamp down or stop after market shops from module programming. Have you heard this or have any insiders knowledge on this claim?
I think I'm having a problem with my ECU I just installed the engine and transmission back in my CL500 2003 I replace my timing cover and did not have to mess with the timing I have gas but no spark change my cranking sensor 3 times it constantly cranks but will not start can someone please tell him with this trouble code is that came up p1 925 the trouble code says Drive authorization is refused body control module N15/5 (Electronic Selector Module (ESM/EWM) is this stop my car from starting from not getting spark do my ECU have to be reprogrammed and so I'm in Philadelphia can someone refer me to someone that do programming thank you guys
That's not the point of this video, plus then the public thinks everyone can do it and that's not the case. Plus there are MANY risks with recovering modules. And there are a lot of HIGHLY specialized tooling that i don't expect the audience to go out and buy
Do the newer Topdon devices differentiate between sporadic, intermittent and permanent DTCs now? In your big comparison video from about a year ago you mentioned the phoenix plus didn’t

Might be cheaper reprogramming a used module just in case of a malfunction
And if you have a malfunction during programming a used one, you're still in the same boat. Best to learn how to recover them

Great video,if you have only bricked one BMW you are doing well
Great job man
Very informative. If the ECM gets bricked, can you save it in your shop, or do you have to sublet, or ???
We recover them in house
Sir you are doing so well but can I get all what it takes to become a successful programmer the hardware and software please guide me further

As a gm tech very interesting one question what is the difference in programming and coding thank you
Programming is installing the firmware. Coding is configuring the module to tailor it to the vehicle build(some are 6cyl, some are 8 cyl, etc)
Does this model top don program keys an read pin codes
So many parts for programming one module and anywhere along the programming that module could become an expensive door stop! I'm sure you've done many of these modules but unless you have training for this, the programing could become very confusing.
If I get a used med but have it virgin Eyz’d. Will I still need to click the used module option?
Am trying to re write miles from old cluster to a used one with top don phenix pro any ideas
updates are free on that scanner ?
