AMT Cartech have been developing flash tools since OBD tuning began, in fact they were responsible for developing the very first known OBD flasher “KWP2000”. The KWP2000 supported ecu’s using the Key Word Protocol 2000 as the name suggests!
Since then many new communication protocols arrived, so a new tool was needed and hence the Multi Protocol Programming System was born (MPPS).
The MPPS is a powerful programming tool. It offers general reading / writing operations and checksum support, however it also includes some additional features:
- Excellent recovery functions. In some cases MPPS can recover ECU’s which others tools can not even make communications with. On certain controllers it even works when with no program is present (a blank memory).
- Selectable full / partial reading and writing when the ECU allows this function.
- Selectable reading / writing speed.
- Writing “changes only” function for faster programming (when supported by the ECU).
- Auto detection of K-Line/CAN, and option to bypass and force preferred means of communication.
- Temporary bypass of immobiliser to allow flashing on the bench on ME7 systems.
- Boot mode support for ECU’s with C167 and ST10 processors.
- EEprom read/write functions for some ECU’s are included.
- VAG MEDC17 TPROT level checking without opening the ECU.
MPPS has no annual fees, or subscriptions. Updates are free!
MPPS covers a range of controllers including M3.8, M5.9, ME7xx, MED9, MED17, EDC15/16/17, Delphi, Siemens, Marelli, Delco, Sagem, Trionic and many others…
This tool is available in different configurations, the comparison table below shows the differences:

Tricore Boot + OBD Unlock Module
This module adds support for Tricore Bootloader functions to existing MPPS tools.
Features:
- TPROT / DS check feature, for testing if TPROT is active without opening ECU
- Auto detects ECU and processor type. No need to select from list, everything is automatic!
- Read/Write of all memories Eeprom, Irom, Xrom (where possible)
- Patch function for OBD Flashing of TPROT ECU’s in boot mode (supports only VAG at the moment)
- Support for unlocking of VAG Simos PCR and Simos 8 with external eeprom.
- Checksum Correction supported for Bosch MEDC17 irom and eeprom.
- Checksum Correction supported for Simos PCR, Simos 8 and SID208, SID209, SID305, SID807 irom
- NEW! Support for Bosch Service Mode to read password on ECUs using TP12+
- NEW! Special file utility for creating OBD unlock files from VAS FRF/SGO containers (flash containers are not provided!). This function will allow you to work completely from OBD on locked ECUs!
Includes the software module, TPSG tricore interface, cable set, power supply and carry case.
