Thanks for a great board! I am new to the field so I may have gotten the process backwards, but these would be the basic steps as I understood it.

Prerequisite. DC power supply with minimum 13.5 V or if you have to flash in the car be sure to connect a batter charger. Make a backup of the 95040 chip before reprogramming it.

1. The Immo3-chip (95040) should be in Boot Mode before reprogramming
This is achieved by "touching PIN 24 on the flash chip (800BB) to ground before turning on your switch/ignition signal. Turn on the ignition switch and remove the ground from PIN 24 about 2-3 seconds later. You are now in BOOT MODE."

2. Buy/loan a Galletto cable
Dumb k-line cable via the OBD-II interface is OK to read the chip. BUT, in order to reprogram the chip in Boot Mode, you need to get a suitable cable (clone), such as Galletto 1260.

3. Use the "ME7_95040" command tool sw to access the chip
Sw + manual can be downloaded here:

4. Use a sw pack to overwrite the code in the 95040-chip and set Immo3 to OFF
The necessary predefined bin-files (e.g. Immo off.bin, or immodef95040) can be downloaded from here:

5. Execute the command and wait 2-3 minutes
Command file and bin file must be in same directory. Open the cmd.exe window in Windows and run:
c:\me7_95040 --bootmode -w -p 3 immodef95040

Question, do you need to set the baud rate in the command line?

Ok, more reading then.

Thanks. It seems like I need either a (clone) FTDI based cable - or a (clone) Galetto 1260 cable. The cheap blue knock-off that I have doesn't have the FTDI chip.

Ordered a Galetto yesterday.

Every blue cable KKL i had ( 4 burned connecting 12v to ground pins by mistake ) , had a ftdi 232RL or BL chip and one had 231X , so it's strange that yours doesn't.

Good to know , thanks for the info.
