to the ECU from the connector, without opening it (after the first unlock in BOOT mode).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fast, controlled solution designed for everyday workshop needs, for both repair operations and performance optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new operating possibility is designed to provide greater flexibility when working on widely
