MERCEDES BENZ | PROGRAMMING | ECM(ME) MODULE | TOPDON PHOENIX MAX 

I actually like watching programming sessions. Others may think they're boring, I not me! Keep them coming, Mario! God bless!

DA MAN!!!!! Always great content brother! Thanks for bringing us along!

Mario thanks for sharing. Between learning the programming plus having to learn the electronics side of all the different systems automotive repair is rapidly changing. Thanks again 😊Artie

Great introduction to programming. Lots of small things but very important to learn from this video. Keep up the good work. I know you said you were not planning to do more but I hope more people ask you for more to change your mind😉 Recently subscribed and love your channel

Thank you for your efforts I am from Egypt and I benefit greatly from your work, keep going

Love your videos Mario , they are always " Super " !!! 👍👍

That's beautiful job please continue

Thank you for the video. I love seeing these video . I am in the process if learning how to program and coding ecu. I would love to see more videos likes this.

Very cool and thank you for sharing, I haven't messed around with any Topdon yet, but looks like very capable tool so far.

Excellent Good starting point, the way you put it over is relatively easy to understand keep producing these video’s Thank You ….

Thanks Mario, excellent information, I had already done programming in some German vehicles with Odis, I recently bought a Topdon scanner, but I have observed that the programming process with Topdon is more complex, Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Always great to watch your videos and I wish I can attend that training.

As a Benz technician it’s cool to watch someone program with an aftermarket tool. Watching your videos helped me pull the pin on buying a Topdon tool for side jobs out of the dealership. Now I’m wishing I got this one instead of the Phoenix Plus 😂

Thanks Mario Nice work Mike from down under

Mario this was SUPER HELPFUL! Have a beached whale E63 AMG here that needs a new ECM. Might have to invest in the Phoenix MAX to avoid a trip to the Mercedes dealer!

I really love programming video they help me meet up to my potential and also encouraging

Love the video, I have a Thinktool Master 2 and it is similar to the Topdon so this video is a training class for both 👍👍👍

Subscribed as a result of a recommendation from Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics.

I love the detailed walkthrough you did here. The more I’ve learned about programming in the acr industry though, the more I’ve learned to hate it. Then again I am no mechanic, i work on vehicles as a side hobby to my Electrical Engineering job. But man the cost of programming and coding adds up fast lol.

Great job man

thank you for sharing and more knowledge to know❤

😎Thank you once again 🙏

This is a very helpful video when it comes to programming. For that reason I purchased the top don Phoenix pro.

Hi Mario, thank you for the information. I was curious about programming a Mercedes with the Topdon. I usually use Autel MS909 even though I would rather use Xentry but is out of my budget. One recommendation is to use "initial startup" instead of "programming'' when programming a new module. This option will guide you through all required steps (program, coding and adaptations). Something I noticed about the programming was that the new software level was older than the original (old). This is common with Autel as well. Unfortunately in the aftermarket industry some times we don't have other option than downgrade the software in order to program and code a new module. This is the reason some people don't recommend using aftermarket tools to program. Unfortunately some times the manufacturer doesn't give us other options unless we want to spend a lot of money. In MB case about $30k for the factory tool .

Good job 👍

Bro the way you help others in industry i hope one day yoh will be a big name in auto industry..good luck cheers

New uniform shirt looks great 👍. I'm going to need help setting up the VPN for my S20.

I like that diag pine hollow auto diagnostic shared you diagnostic reprogram experience he tried your approach an it worked out great 👍up to you sir

Thanks for your videos . I want to get into programming

Dam good job my friend. Sam

Dear Mario please try to Shoot that tranning class And post it on Your channel So it will also be helpful for guys like me Who are not From America but watching your channel for learning By the way I am From INDIA 🇮🇳

ACCOMPLISHED Super Mario Diagnostics My teacher Thanks for sharing it, start to finish tutorial 👌 👍 Take care and have a great weekend with all your family around you ACCOMPLISHED Super Mario Diagnostics From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

Great video,if you have only bricked one BMW you are doing well

brother thank you for your great informative videos, I have learned lots!!! I am trying to catch a flight down for your training event !

seems to be like the autel...but i'm interested of the stated 13 car brands of programing the topdon is claiming.....good vid mario

Mario, thanks for the video! One question: Can I use the Phoenix Max to program an used ECU just like you did? I just got a used ECU and went thru the programming process. Everything went fine, but the car does not crank. Any advise?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌷 awesome

Hello Mario. a great question I see that you use several scanners. What is the difference or which scanner is better between. phoenix max. and ISCAN3. Autoland. I would like to know your experience and what would be the best choice between these 2 types of scanner? Thank you

Thanx bro

Do you use the Topdon ninja box aswell to program keys?

If I get a used med but have it virgin Eyz’d. Will I still need to click the used module option?

If ACM of tats nano (AMT)of 2016 petrol model is faulty can you repair

Hello , do you think other topdon products would be able to do this same procedure?

hello Mario . could you please tell me what kind scanner I need to do the programation the adblue system module in 2016 Mercedes benz sprinter 2500 2.1 diesel engine ?, I replace that unit but I don't know if that need to be programing after replacement .. in the cluster I have message there is 2 start left any help very appreciate

What was the difference between the history SCN options?

in regards to the programming such as, ECU, PCM, TCM, BCM, Airbag Module, Fuel Pump Module and others modules that requires programming. Can you please recommend an auto programming tool where, you plug in and play the software and just prompt options on the screen.???

It’s nice job. I have a use Ignition switch ML 164 petrol engine 8 cylinder from one car mine have problems how to program it

Am trying to re write miles from old cluster to a used one with top don phenix pro any ideas

awesome. looking forward to the training segment on Nov 19. im in interested in purchasing micsig SAT01004.unable to afford a pico at the moment

Can this top don model do the same the Autel I’m 608 I’m torn between the two

I can Update any Ecu software with this tool ? VAG, Bmw, Mercedes ?

Tnx

hello Mario, does topdon come with the software to program most modules on all cars or is there any downloading like a regular PC such as java and all that stuff. thanks

Do you prefer the TopDon or the Autel. Or have you dealt with Matco’s ProAssist. When it comes to programming

I have a 1998 S320 Mercedes Benz, Camshaft Position sensor comes back, we checked & changed everything, camshaft shaft position sensor, crankshaft sensor, spark plugs, alternator, magnet, wiring and timing, fault code comes back, can you reprogram or clone my ECM

Could you please tell me if you can reprogram my used ECM for a 2006 MB e350 4matic? MB doesn't sell new ones any longer.... and the cost???

Good video mario.enjoyed watching.

Can u give me a idea of where I can get information , Incase I brick a ecm. I have no clue

So the program is provided by Topdon and what you have done here is transfer it's information to the new Benz module and that process is called 'programming'. Can the Topdon change the program to include, say, a capacity to turbocharge a non turbocharged engine without throwing codes?

Where can I learn programming ? Hope you can share knowledge what it takes to do this type of work as you said we need more techs in this background , thank you for your videos , cheers

Does this model top don program keys an read pin codes

updates are free on that scanner ?

Hi Mario, This is great educational video! Wanted to ask would this be possible on TOPDON Phoenix Max (they state that it has the same software)? Great job!!! Thanks.

Very informative. If the ECM gets bricked, can you save it in your shop, or do you have to sublet, or ???

Mario, I’m surprised (and actually concerned) that they had you set up a VPN in order to download files from Topdon. Why would they have this set up where a free internet country (USA) user needs to trick the download server via VPN to hide their origin?

The Dealer told me my car, 2004 ML350, can not be fixed. The AAM went out and is now obsolete. Does anyone know a work a round because these computer are specific to each car and you can not substitute used parts. Great body , tires, interior, I need help!?

I have the topdon Phoenix plus can I program ECM ?

how would i program a used pcm

How long does this procedure take?

Hie great video is it possible to reprogram a Mercedes Benz w202 ?

I think I'm having a problem with my ECU I just installed the engine and transmission back in my CL500 2003 I replace my timing cover and did not have to mess with the timing I have gas but no spark change my cranking sensor 3 times it constantly cranks but will not start can someone please tell him with this trouble code is that came up p1 925 the trouble code says Drive authorization is refused body control module N15/5 (Electronic Selector Module (ESM/EWM) is this stop my car from starting from not getting spark do my ECU have to be reprogrammed and so I'm in Philadelphia can someone refer me to someone that do programming thank you guys

can topdown program a 2009 honda accord ecu

Do I have to salvage my ML350?

how long have you been learning programimg

Thank Mari for your Video. I just bought a 2006 MB C 280 and with TOPDON ArtiDiag Pro Bidirectional Scan Tool that I just got, I did the diagnostic on the car and got this results: There are 3 issues for Power system: 1.The Internal Electrical Check Of Component Y3/83(K2 Clutch Control Solenoid valve(VGS)) Has Failed. 2.Fault present in control module Transmission (P2734) 3.Diagnosis of tumble flap 'Intake manifold':Short circuit to ground of sensor lines/Tumble flap shafts stick in the actuated position. (P2004). Can you advise me cause I’m trying to minimize my expenses fixing the car. Please need your expertise on how to fixe all 3 issues for power systems found on the car. Thank you very much, Francis

Who used the scanner name please

How much a service like this will cost on your shop

HOLA MARIO SALUDOS DE VERACRUZ MÉXICO GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR TUS CONOCIMIENTOS. EXCELENTE VIDEO. CREO QUE SNAPON YA QUEDO FUERA DEL NEGOCIO DE LOS SCANNERS. PORQUE AHORA LOS CHINOS VIENEN CON TODO. SON HERRAMIENTAS ECONÓMICAS Y HACEN MUCHAS COSAS. QUE ME PUEDES COMPARTIR SOBRE SNAPON HACE ESTE TIPO DE TRABAJOS? GRACIAS HERMANO

If you can only choose one .iscan or topdon strictly for programming European. Rover , Mercedes ,Audi and BMW .thanks Mario

بدنا منو على جهاز أوتيل 608 مارسيدس بينز 210 رجاءا

Are you still offering training courses? Anything online?

Do the newer Topdon devices differentiate between sporadic, intermittent and permanent DTCs now? In your big comparison video from about a year ago you mentioned the phoenix plus didn’t

Sir you are doing so well but can I get all what it takes to become a successful programmer the hardware and software please guide me further

👍👍👍👍🤚🤚🤚

More video plz

Why did you have to set up a VPN?

HOW U GET SCN ACESS THESE DAYS ?

As a gm tech very interesting one question what is the difference in programming and coding thank you

Too bad the tool can't switch the car on/off alone :) Was scary with the newer scan showing again the old errors :)

Mario please give me a guidelines so I may self study in the meantime

Okay Mario where did you go to learn how to recover modules ? Finding that info has been the hardest thing to learn.

In newer carc scn coding Not works,try w205 and you will See, also nox Sensor teach in Not works.on older Mercedes IT works good

So many parts for programming one module and anywhere along the programming that module could become an expensive door stop! I'm sure you've done many of these modules but unless you have training for this, the programing could become very confusing.

Is recovering a module some secret of the trade or why would you not show us how to do it?

HELP. My mechanic rebuilt my transmission. Now he’s gone through 2 transmission modules, because my car is not responding to them. he said Mercedes made 3 different modules for the 2012 E350 he just has to get the right one

id like to be the programmer for mercedes benz

I thought I was the only person who broke a BMW 😂 I actually tried to update the transmission without external power connected and the programming process failed and the car was driving only reverse 😅😅 got it done thou

I need your help

Rumor has it that mercedes is starting to clamp down or stop after market shops from module programming. Have you heard this or have any insiders knowledge on this claim?

Please how can contact you? Anyway I enjoyed the video, thanks.
