Mpps tuning review:
MPPS V21 review:
- The tool works as it is designed for... R/W ECU without issues.

- The cable is a nice quality OBD male cable, it looks like many ones, but it's a true EU Clone MPPS V21 fully open (Tricore, MultiBoot, OBD). Tricore cable adaptor looks like many ones too, but very well made!
 
- Of course I did but he neglected to listed like everyone else, so were sending him a new cable like people who had the issue before it was determined. Anyways everyone who had there cable burned we replaced and there usingMPPS v18 with no issues. MPPS v21 was NO big update, it was just a timebomb and released solely for the purpose of killing clones
 
- The tool was initially sold as MPPS v18, before we knew about the timebomb amt put inside of MPPS v21 we had told users they could update, our mistake. Although every user who had issue with a dead cable was sent a free cable replacement overnight to them via fedex. No one was left in the dark and everyone was contacted and post was made telling everyone about the timebomb and to not use MPPS v21, only MPPS v18. This thread should be closed as the problem has been resolved for all parties involved.
 
- I also received a replacement cable. Now it works ok with latest v18 version.
But i did not receive any notification, not to use it with mpps v21.
Actually it was sold with a privillage of being able to work with mpps v21.
Also, not true about no differences with mpps v21.
mpps v18 doesn't support EDC17C64, which is the main reason i purchased the tool in the first place.
So now i am hoping you will remove the timebomd from the v21 and receive the update in the next few months.
 
- It's shipping with mpps v18 at the moment, we're still working on mpps v21. Everything is working properly with the shipped sw

NOTE:
MPPS V21 hasn’t been tested be professional engineers work for eobdtool.co.uk. For sake of security, it would be a good option of using MPPS V18:
