This BDM Style probe allows reading/writing of the VAG MED17.5.2 control unit without soldering.
No additional resistors or boot pins are required!
It connects directly to the AVDI OBD cable. It can be used to read/write password over “OBD” communication and also to read/write the IROM/EEPROM memory over Boot Strap Loader mode by the flick of a switch.
LED lights are fitted to the underside of the probe to aid alignment.
The Kit includes an OBD adaptor cable and a 12V power supply.
This adapter cable allows you to connect to the CAN bus communication wires directly at the ECU, whilst utilising the OBD port for all other connections.
This bypasses the CAN gateway as required when using the AN055 function on MED17 and EDC17 controllers.
It is equipped with an OBD female port to attach to your AVDI tool, an OBD male port to connect to the vehicle and a 3 metre cable with CAN connections via crocodile clips to reach the ECU without removal. Also supplied are 2 x test pins which can be used to connect to the ECU pins or vehicle wiring harness.
The adapter is made using high quality OBD2 moulded connectors. The K-Line is also wired, allowing use on other applications.
This kit allows you to connect your AVDI easily and comfortably to many types of VAG EDC17 /MED17 to read/write over boot mode.
The kit includes:
This kit provides a clean connection to ECU boot pads without soldering!
Simply connect your AVDI to the ECU with the cable provided, screw the plate to the control unit and align the boot pins with the corresponding pads on the ecu. Then power the ecu and you are ready to read/write!
It is designed to work with controllers using TC1766 and TC1796 processor, this includes:
This kit will not work with controllers using TC1767 or TC1797, however we will offer probes for these controllers soon (e.g EDC17C46, EDC17CP44, MED17.5.2 etc…)
* Please note: This cable has a special pinout which is unique to the AVDI interface, we do not recommend use with any other tools. If you need a similar cable for a different tool please contact us *
