039: Reflashing Modern Euros for BIG Gains.


Listen Later

Have you always avoided messing with late-model European vehicles? Does the idea of strapping a modern Audi, Merc, or BMW to the dyno sound like a bad one? Does the mere mention of WinOLS make you turn the other way?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, bFlash's Aurélien Turban is here to help clear some things up.

Based in Paris, Aurélien joins us for an interesting and in-depth conversation about the European side of the tuning market — admittedly not something that there's a lot of information out there about, nor something we get the opportunity to discuss very often on this podcast.

Aurélien works as the Technical Director at late-model Euro reflashing specialist bFlash, he's spent years working with the incredibly complex factory engine management systems found in modern European vehicles, and dives into what's involved in gaining access in order to reflash them as security gets better and better.

Naturally, the conversation turns towards the increasing difficulty of using an aftermarket standalone ECU in these cars and the many advantages that reflashing the stock unit offers instead. Most of these OEM ECUs now use torque-based systems, and the guys spend some time discussing the ins and outs of working with this kind of setup.

This episode is an interesting look behind the curtain of the late-model Euro reflashing world, and there are a lot of technical discussions around WinOLS, overcoming OEM security measures,  how the bFlash interface works, and much more.
