✔ BMW: Coding, initialization, personalization (E & F series), module programming, DTC repair guide
✔ Audi / Volkswagen / Skoda / Seat: Guide function, personalization, module programming
✔ Porsche: Module programming, personalization
✔ Jaguar / Land Rover: Module programming
✔ Nissan: Module programming
✔ Toyota: Personalization
✔ Subaru: Module programming
✔ Renault: ECU programming

2. J2534 ECU Programming & Pass-Thru

Equipped with the Phoenix MDCI Pro, the Phoenix Max supports J2534 pass-thru programming, a crucial function for reprogramming and updating ECUs using OEM software. This allows professionals to perform:

• Software updates for engine and transmission ECUs
• Flashing to correct manufacturer issues (e.g., emissions updates, bug fixes)
• Restoring or replacing ECUs without requiring dealership access

This function is essential for high-end brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Porsche, where ECU programming is frequently needed for system upgrades and repairs.

3. Advanced ECU Coding & Adaptation

Beyond programming, the Phoenix Max offers ECU coding and adaptation to personalize vehicle functions and optimize system performance. Technicians can:

• Enable/disable hidden features (e.g., customizing lighting, windows, and comfort functions)
• Recode new ECUs after replacement
• Reset and match modules to ensure proper communication
• Adjust performance settings in select vehicle models

For example, on BMW and Mercedes-Benz, users can perform advanced coding to personalize vehicle settings, recalibrate sensors, and modify control module behaviors.

5. Access to Secure Gateway (FCA SGW) & Online Functions

The Phoenix Max enables technicians to bypass FCA Secure Gateway (SGW), allowing full access to diagnostics, adaptations, and coding on brands like:
✔ Chrysler
✔ Dodge
✔ Jeep
✔ Fiat
✔ Alfa Romeo

Additionally, it offers manufacturer-specific online functions for brands like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, providing guided diagnostics, real-time data access, and advanced module adaptation.

Next-Level Communication with The Phoenix MDCI PRO

Unlike the Phoenix Smart, which comes with a standard MDCI VCI, the Phoenix Max includes the advanced MDCI Pro VCI, offering:

• J2534, CAN FD, DoIP, D-PDU, and RP1210 protocols for wider compatibility.

• Heavy-Duty Vehicle Compatibility with an optional add-on kit.

• 9V to 24V support for passenger cars and commercial trucks.
