Ford Continental on SID212 and SID212EVO in Flex

With the new Flex update, version 7.59.0.0, working on Continental SID212 and SID212EVO control units installed on Ford vehicles is even faster and easier.

This release introduces direct access to the map area and the EEPROM memory without the need to unlock the unit: just connect the red OBD cable to the diagnostic port of the vehicle to start reading.

Moreover, operating times have also been optimized, allowing the file to be obtained even faster and improving workshop efficiency.

Main advantages:

Direct access via OBD
No need to unlock in Bench
Map area and EEPROM read
Reduced acquisition times
Faster operations
