Magic Motorsport Flex version 8.27.0.0 expands Korhex support to selected VAG Group Bosch MDG1 ECUs equipped with TC298 and TC299 processors. The update introduces an additional unlocking method for technicians working on supported Audi, Volkswagen, Cupra, Lamborghini and other VAG applications.
Unlock with Korhex, Then Program in Bench Mode
Previously supported through VFI — Voltage Fault Injection technology, these Bosch MDG1 control units can now also be unlocked using Flex and Korhex via Boot Glitch.
The Korhex procedure reduces intervention time and avoids working directly on the ECU’s PCB. Once the unlock is complete, technicians can continue with read and write operations in Bench mode using Flex, simplifying the programming workflow.
Newly Supported ECUs
| VAG Bosch ECU | Processor |
|---|---|
| MG1CS002 H80 | TC298 |
| MG1CS008 | TC298 |
| MG1CS031 H80 | TC298 |
| MD1CS004 H80 | TC298 |
| MD1CS014 | TC299 |
Available Operations and Working Times
The new protocol provides the following memory operations for supported control units:
- Internal Flash: Read, write and checksum correction
- Internal EEPROM: Read and write
- Full Backup
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Unlocking mode | Boot Glitch with Korhex |
| Programming after unlock | Bench mode with Flex |
| Connection time | Approximately 30 seconds |
| Reading time | Approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds |
| Writing time | Approximately 2 minutes |
| Supported licenses | FLS0.20M/S or FLS0.5M/S |
Times are approximate and may vary with the ECU and operating conditions.
Supported Vehicle Examples
Applications listed for this update include:
- Audi SQ5 (II) FY, 2021MY — 3.0L V6 TDI 24v MHEV, 336 HP
- Audi RS5 (II) F5, 2022MY — 2.9L V6 Twin-Turbo 24v, 444 HP

- Volkswagen Golf (VIII), 2021MY — 2.0L TDI 16v, 197 HP
Always verify the exact ECU identification and current Flex protocol coverage before starting work.
Which Flex License Is Required?
To access the new protocol, your Flex setup must include either:
The corresponding Master and Slave license references are FLS0.20M/S and FLS0.5M/S. Flex and Korhex hardware are also required for the unlocking procedure.
Expand Your VAG ECU Programming Capabilities
Flex V8.27.0.0 gives technicians another way to unlock selected VAG Bosch MDG1 control units. By combining Korhex Boot Glitch unlocking with subsequent Flex Bench programming, the update offers a practical workflow for supported TC298 and TC299 applications.
