Title: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: RaraK on September 19, 2011, 03:54:14 PM A local garage has a customer with a corrupted emcs Mbox s4. They need it on the road asap, all that is available that may work is a 4Z7 907 551K allroad ecu. If i immo defeat and flash s4 software will i be ok? anyone try this?
I know allroad has more advanced can system(supposedly) any input from someone that has done this? Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: vwaudiguy on September 19, 2011, 08:58:04 PM I thought there was someone on this board that tried this and fried something..Be careful

I know allroad has more advanced can system(supposedly) any input from someone that has done this? think your going to run into issues. i have a spare s4 ecu if needed. Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: RaraK on September 20, 2011, 06:27:12 PM Eh sounds not so promising, fried something? wow.
I wish i had wiring for the allroad to compare against? Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: nyet on September 20, 2011, 06:40:48 PM There are several AR ecus which are identical to the S4 ME7 2.7t ecu.
I always assumed all were identical (hardware wise). If that isn't true, i'd love to hear details... Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: crazyhomer on September 20, 2011, 08:14:47 PM The BEL Allroads ecu is different on the inside, from the APB ones...for instance, the eeprom in underneath the BEL and on top of the 2000-2002 ecus 2.7 S4 or A6....but then again, its a 7.1.1 ecus and maybe its just an updated look :)
Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: GWerks on September 26, 2011, 11:25:09 AM You will have to modify the pins for the connectors to fir properly. I wouldn't do it.
Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: Gonzo on October 02, 2011, 12:24:59 PM There is ME7.1, ME7.1.1 and ME7.5
You MUST keep it in the same ECU type. If its ME7.1.1 then you can only flash a ME7.1.1 file. Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: NOTORIOUS VR on October 03, 2011, 09:52:31 AM I would like to eventually do this as well.. but so that I can ADD IMMO to my S4 using either an Allroad or A6 ECU...
I don't get why this would be that difficult seeing as the M-box file works flawless on an 02 Allroad and 01 A6 2.7T that I recently flashed... Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: pohsib on October 03, 2011, 06:32:45 PM Thats because the 02 Allroad is stil ME7.1 and has the APB engine. 03 A6 and allroads have BEL engines and ME7.1.1
Title: Re: Allroad ecu in S4? Post by: NOTORIOUS VR on October 03, 2011, 07:40:36 PM great.. good to know.. I need to start putting the pieces together for his... I want to have working IMMO in my car
