The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. The 2002 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

The Hyundai Motor Group also includes Kia and the premium Genesis sub-brand. The factory calibration on Hyundai diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.

The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within Hyundai Motor Group, ECUs are partly shared, so Hyundai files often work on Kia.
