FLASHTEC
Flashtec started as an Italian company CMDtec which later moved from Italy to Switzerland and was renamed Flashtec. The developer originally came from Dimsport. They were the first to provide a stable OBD flash solution for the ECUs with an Infineon MPC555 processor such as Bosch EDC16 .

CMDflash
The CMDFlash is the tuning tool made by Flashtec which combines an OBD tuning tool and bootmode tool. There are two versions available of the CMDflash; a master version and a slave version. The slave is connected to a master tool and can only write tuning files supplied by this master tool. The advantage of the slave tool is that it cheaper and contains the plugins enabled (bought) by the master. These plugins include:
