Flash Types

Stock

This function flashes fully stock software based on selected transmission type/model/fuel type. If an immobilizer unlock is needed, it will be performed at the same time.

  • .bin file format required (raw hexdump)
  • Full dumps and map area files supported
  • Checksum and CVN corrections done automatically by CANTCU Flasher if needed
