Problem: Magic Motorsport Flex programmer reads Peugeot 307 SID807EVO ECU ok, but can not write the modified file by OBD. It is a keyless system.
Error autohrization from ECU failed.
Solution:
The keyless ones have to see the key in the emergency key position to allow operation.
Key must be in a coil detection area, that is why you couldn’t read.
Put key in the correct compartment and try again. Put key in the slot beside the steering.
Also if manual put it in 1st drivers seat belt on and hazards
Optional Solution:
Try leaving the ignition on even when it asks you to turn it off, or disconnect the battery for a while and try again.
Play around with ignition on off timings. Don’t wait for flex, when it says ignition on click ok and then wait around 5-5 seconds before you turn it on. If you’ve done any resets with diag make sure ignition off for 2 minutes before you connect flex
SID87 EVO if password protected can be done obd, if non password protected boot only,, should still connect to update to latest software.
User feedback:
Disconnected battery for some time did the fix and worked

A customer recently reported the following issue with their FormulaFlash ECU Programmer
“My device stopped providing power in bench mode. The LEDs no longer light up. Is there any chance of repairing it? It is still under warranty.
After inspection, the root cause was identified as a burnt FB0 resistor on the PCB board, which resulted in a complete loss of power output in bench mode.
Root Cause Analysis
The failure is typically caused by:
Overcurrent or incorrect wiring during bench operation
Short circuit during ECU connection
Component aging or unexpected voltage spikes
The damaged component (FB0 resistor) plays a key role in the power circuit. Once it is burnt, the device will:
Fail to supply power in bench mode
Show no LED activity
Appear completely unresponsive
Repair Solution Method 1: Replace with a 0 Ohm Resistor
The recommended solution is:
Replace the damaged FB0 component with a 0Ω (zero-ohm) resistor
This acts as a jumper and restores the circuit continuity.
Method 2: Use a Donor Resistor from the PCB
If a 0Ω resistor is not available, you can:
Locate a row of similar resistors on the PCB board
Remove one resistor from that row
Solder it onto the burnt FB0 position
Important Notes
This repair requires basic PCB soldering skills
Improper handling may cause further damage
If your device is still under warranty, it is recommended to contact your supplier before attempting repair
Preventive Tips
To avoid similar issues in the future:
Double-check wiring before powering the device
Use stable power supply during bench operations
Avoid hot-plugging ECU connections
Ensure proper grounding
Conclusion
A FormulaFlash device that shows no power in bench mode and no LED activity is often caused by a burnt FB0 resistor. Replacing it with a 0Ω resistor or using a donor component from the PCB can effectively restore functionality.
If you are unsure about the repair process, always consult technical support or refer to the official documentation

Today, car enthusiasts are looking for different solutions to enhance their vehicle’s performance and take their driving experience to the highest level. This is exactly where we come in! As XirDecoder Chip Tuning, we specialize in engine optimization and software updates. We aim to provide our customers with the best performance and lead the industry with our advanced technologies and professional team of engineers.
We are excited to introduce XirDecoder, an innovative chip tuning platform that’s revolutionizing automotive performance with the power of AI. Whether you’re a professional tuner or a car enthusiast, XirDecoder offers a robust solution for optimizing engine and transmission control units.
Key features and functionalities
DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Removal: XDecoder allows users to disable or remove specific DTCs from the ECU, which can be useful in resolving issues related to certain sensors or components, according to OBDII365.com. This feature is also described as “DTC OFF” or “Fault Code Removal”.
Chip Tuning/Performance Optimization: The platform enables performance enhancements by modifying parameters like fuel injection timing, turbo boost pressure, and air/fuel mixture settings in the ECU It offers solutions for Stage 1-2 tuning
Emissions System Management: XDecoder can be used to disable or manage components like DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), AdBlue, Lambda, and CAT (Catalytic Converter) systems.
Transmission Optimization: It also offers transmission optimization features, including DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) optimization for smoother gear changes and launch control adjustments.
Wide Compatibility: XDecoder boasts a large database of over 130,000 files with unique DAMOS mapping technology for various vehicle makes and models
Additionally, if the uploaded file is not original, XirDecoder will detect non-original maps such as DPF or EGR and notify you. If desired, you can convert only the DPF and EGR maps back to their original state
How it works
Read ECU File: A master device is used to read the ECU’s file from the vehicle.
Upload to XDecoder: The read file is uploaded to the XDecoder software platform.
AI Analysis and Optimization: The platform’s AI analyzes the file and suggests tuning options, or you can select specific modifications.
Download Modified File: The system processes the file based on the selected options and provides the modified file for download.
Write to ECU: The modified file is then written back to the ECU using a suitable device
Considerations
Legality: The legality of modifying emission systems (like DPF, EGR, AdBlue) may vary by region and can have serious environmental and legal consequences. It’s crucial to understand and comply with local regulations before considering such modifications.
Risks: ECU tuning carries inherent risks, and improper modifications can potentially damage the engine or other vehicle components.
Support: XDecoder provides support for its users, including a system for creating support requests and chat with tuners
Software Activation: The software license is activated online and is linked to a specific computer.
Renewal Fees: Annual renewal fees may be required to maintain account activation.
