Unlock, Read, and Write the Protected Automotive Microcontrollers
The SX SPC5 Programmer is a professional JTAG/Nexus tool for automotive technicians, ECU repair shops, and locksmiths. It gives you direct access to locked Power Architecture® microcontrollers. This powerful device lets you read, write, and erase the flash and EEPROM memory of many MPC5xxx and SPC5xxx chips. These chips are commonly used in Engine Control Units (ECUs), Transmission Control Units (TCUs), Gateway modules, and Keyless Vehicle Modules (KVMs).
Don't turn away jobs because of protected processors. This programmer is your solution for advanced repairs, module cloning, and key programming at the component level.
Real-World Uses for Your Workshop:
- Land Rover / Jaguar: Read D-Flash from the SPC560B60L3 chip on a keyless entry (KVM/RFA) board to make dealer keys or renew modules.
- Volkswagen / Audi: Access the MCU in Gateway modules (SPC5607B / SPC5644B) and ECUs (SPC563M64) for repairs and data recovery.
- General Motors / Buick: Read and write flash on a LaCrosse transmission board (SC667203) or the SPC5633MMLQ60 chip in GM Wuling modules.
- Volvo: Directly interface with the SPC564B70 MCU on gateway boards.
- And many more: This tool supports many ECUs using PowerPC architecture, including those from Steyr (MPC5642AMZV2) and others.
Key Features:
- Stable, high-speed communication via JTAG/Nexus interface.
- Read, Write, and Erase P-Flash and D-Flash.
- Powered by USB – no external power supply needed.
- Compact, durable design for workshop use.
- Includes cables for direct-to-board connection.
