Choosing a workflow
OBD connects via the vehicle diagnostic socket; bench connects directly to the controller, and boot or open methods can involve opening it. Read, virtual read, full backup, write and cloning are distinct capabilities. Confirm the exact operation in the tool’s instructions, use the specified stable power supply, and retain recoverable originals where available.
