Attention! ECU Reflashing Required! Up to 32 firmware modes โ€“ for complete freedom to customize performance. Use several modes at once โ€“ combine them for maximum flexibility. Modes are saved in the ECU โ€“ your settings stay even if the ignition is off and reload automatically. Secure access โ€“ each ECU has its own code, which can be entered quickly via QR scan. Multiple cars? No problem. The app automatically picks the right code for the connected vehicle. Brute force protection โ€“ keeps your security code safe from hacking attempts. Advanced access levels โ€“ unlock extra features with a separate code, without reflashing the ECU. Anti-theft mode โ€“ blocks unauthorized reprogramming via the OBD port. Safety first โ€“ some modes (like ANTI-THEFT or E85) can only be enabled when the car is stopped (0 km/h, 0 RPM). Dual ECU support โ€“ keeps both ECUs perfectly in sync. Trouble code handling โ€“ read and clear error codes in seconds. Fast connection โ€“ instantly reconnects to your paired ELM327 device. Live mode display โ€“ shows the current active mode as soon as you connect. Voltage check โ€“ warns you if battery voltage drops below 10V. Two languages โ€“ English and German included. Day & Night UI โ€“ automatic theme switch for better visibility.

Motoza turns your phone into a complete tuning and datalogging workstation for VW and Audi. Paired with the Motoza Bluetooth interface, it connects to your engine ECU and DSG transmission to stream live data, read and write firmware, and pull diagnostics - all wirelessly. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Live data logging - stream real-time parameters (RPM, load, boost, lambda/AFR, ignition timing, knock, temperatures and more) onto customizable dashboards with the gauges and layout you want. โ€ข Read your ECU - make a full, checksum-aware backup of your engine ECU or transmission before you change anything. โ€ข Write / flash - load a tune or modified file back to the ECU or DSG, with checksum handling built in. โ€ข Diagnostics - read stored fault codes from the connected module. โ€ข Auto-detection - Motoza identifies the connected ECU and part number on connect and loads the matching configuration automatically. SUPPORTED (VW / Audi) โ€ข Bosch ME7 engine ECUs - including the 2.5L R5 (07K) โ€ข Bosch MED9 engine ECUs โ€ข Simos18 engine ECUs โ€ข DQ250 DSG transmissions (0D9 and 02E) REQUIRES THE MOTOZA INTERFACE Motoza communicates through the Motoza Bluetooth (BLE) interface, which handles the vehicle protocols on-device and streams everything to the app. The app cannot connect to a vehicle without it.
