How long does it take to flash my ECU?

The writing speed is dependent on a number of factors. The way we write to the car it goes as fast as the ECU/Gateway will allow. We have always put stability over speed but fortunately with the final closed beta developments we made a huge improvement in terms of flash success rate (we have yet to see a single failed flash due to response times since this was implemented).

A rough example of flash times for the supported ECUs are listed below. The final time can vary between car models which use the same ECU type.

EDC17CP14

20 minutes (2mb), 40 minutes (4mb)

EDC17C46 15 minutes (some models with newer gateways are faster)
EDC17C64 8 minutes
EDC17C74 8 minutes
EDC17CP44 20 minutes (longer/double in dual ECU vehicles)
EDC17CP54 15 minutes

For your first time using the application we would always recommend that you allow more time than you need.
