The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. The 2017 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

Kia is a Korean carmaker, part of the Hyundai Motor Group. Kia is positioned alongside Hyundai, with an emphasis on styling and a sporty character. The Stinger is Kia's performance saloon with a turbo V6. Low-output Hyundai petrol engines are naturally aspirated city units, so the gain is modest. Smartstream is Hyundai's modern engine range with an emphasis on economy. Hyundai's factory calibration is mainstream and leaves headroom for Stage 1.

On older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. 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. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response.
