Flex is Magicmotorsport’s ECU and TCU programming platform for supported tuning and electronic repair work. The manufacturer lists OBD, bench and boot methods and an evolving vehicle list covering cars, motorcycles and heavy vehicles.
Use and licensing
Specific software packages govern the enabled vehicle classes and modes, with Master and Slave licences available. Select the exact vehicle, ECU hardware and software version in the current vehicle list and follow its connection and backup instructions. Bench does not necessarily require opening the ECU; boot procedures can require internal access. Features such as reading, virtual reading, writing and checksum handling depend on the individual protocol.
Korhex is an accessory for supported advanced MCU access, with separate configuration requirements.
