Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this product

The Hexprog II Basic Set is Microtronik's chip tuning tool for ECU and TCU read, write, cloning and repair over OBD, bench and boot. It carries the full Hexprog II hardware with a 48-hour master license, then the license is leased per job.
The Hexprog II Basic Set gets a full master license for 48 hours from registration. After that you lease it from the Hexprog Portal only when there is a job: USD 60.00 for 1 day, USD 100.00 for 2 days or USD 200.00 for 7 days.
All Hexprog II sets use the same hardware. Basic leases the license per job with no annual fee, Full has a permanent master license for all current and future ECUs, and Lite covers only chosen ECU families. Full and Lite carry an annual subscription.
Hexprog II supports OBD, bench, TriCore boot, BAM boot for MPC5xxx, JTAG for Renesas, Nexus, TriCore DAP, NEC NBD, BDM for MPC5xx and VFI for secured MG1 and MD1. CAN FD is native on both CAN channels for OBD, bench and boot work.
Yes. Hexprog II reads the full long ISN from BMW and MINI DME and DDE units from 2005 to current, Bosch MD1 and MG1 in F and G series included. The read works in bench or boot mode and shows the VIN stored in the ECU.
The VFI adapter lets Hexprog II unlock secured TriCore MG1 and MD1 ECUs by Voltage Fault Injection in boot mode. After the patch the ECU stays unlocked for bench work. BMW MGD1 units are read and written on the bench without the VFI step.
Hexprog II needs a Windows 10 or later PC, 32 or 64-bit, and an internet connection, because HexProg II Tuner connects to Microtronik servers. The tool is registered with a Hexprog Portal account during the first software update, which also starts the license.
Microtronik covers the Hexprog II Basic Set with a 3-year hardware warranty and 1 year of technical support through the ticket system in the Hexprog Portal. Both can be extended, and software updates arrive through the update button in HexProg II Tuner.
