You're welcome.
Make sure to run the loader as Administrator to avoid any issues with file permissions when saving your work, especially if you have the software installed on the C: drive.

Thank's.
You are welcome.
As a final precaution, ensure that you block the executable in your firewall. This software is known to attempt auto-updates when online, which can deactivate the раtсh if it connects to the server.

It is certainly efficient.
Just a quick tip: If you use it for AdBlue removal, make sure to disconnect the AdBlue control unit (DCU) connector on the vehicle before writing the modified file, especially on PSA and Renault systems. Otherwise, the dash lights might not clear even with the correct file.

I like it. thank's.
One last piece of advice: Always keep a full backup (Flash + EEPROM) of the original ECU data before applying any Davinci patches.
If the software calculates a checksum incorrectly and bricks the ECU, you will need the original backup to restore it via Boot or Bench mode using your programmer (KTAG, KESS3, etc.). It is better to be safe than sorry.

Glad it works.
Just be careful with Toyota Denso ECUs. Davinci usually does not calculate the checksum for these. You must ensure your flashing tool performs the checksum correction when writing, otherwise the vehicle will not start.

No problem.
One final note: While Davinci is great for older EDC16 and EDC17 ECUs, be very skeptical when using it on newer Bosch MD1 and MG1 control units. The automated solutions for these are often incomplete and can cause limp mode. For those, a manual solution is usually required.

Thanks for the feedback. Windows 7 is indeed very stable for this.
If anyone else installs it on a fresh Win7 system and it fails to launch, just remember that .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher is usually required for the interface to load correctly.

You are welcome.
One last tip regarding the interface: If the software ever looks "zoomed in" or buttons are cut off on your screen, it is usually due to Windows Display Scaling being set to 125% or 150%.
You can fix this by right-clicking the shortcut, going to Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings, and checking "Override high DPI scaling behavior" (set to System). This keeps the layout correct on high-resolution laptop screens.
