	GKFlasher is an open source Python project supported by OpenGK, written by dante383 and dmg210. This project is a multi OBD2 tool for the Siemens ECUs found on the Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It can read & write tune data, correct EEPROM checksums and clear adaptive values from your ECU. ~~The purpose of this article is to instruct you how to download, install and configure all the prerequisites for GKFlasher. If you are a GitHub user, please go star the following repository:~~		GKFlasher is an open source Python project supported by OpenGK, written by dante383 and dmg210.
