Title: 2003 Allroad ECU Swap. Question about the immobilizer Post by: pholway on October 25, 2011, 02:31:49 PM Hi,
Brand new here and have a question about swapping my stock ECU for an APR tuned ECU in my 2003 Allroad. The allroad has an immobilizer so I can't simply just put the tuned one in like my old B5 A4. So I loooked here on ross tech and found this: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer_III_Immobilizer_Swapping_%28Instrument_Cluster%29 (http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer_III_Immobilizer_Swapping_%28Instrument_Cluster%29) This seems like what i need to do, but of course the million dollar question is the SKC. I don't have the SKC for the tuned ECU. But I have some software tools besides a vag com that I hope will pull the pin from my stock ECU so I can get the SKC from that and swap immobilizers. So my first question is: Besides going to teh dealer, what software will pull my SKC? I have Vag commader and I have Vag Tacho. Either way do I need the SKC from the Tuned ECU? Or am I going about this all the wrong way.... Or should I be using the ECU swapping process and pull the SKC from the tuned ECU. Thanks in advance Title: Re: 2003 Allroad ECU Swap. Question about the immobilizer Post by: zillarob on October 26, 2011, 11:18:20 PM Ive only gotten vagtacho 2.5 and 3.01 to work on <01.5 s4. Vag commander will work on the >01.5 so you may have some luck with it.
Title: Re: 2003 Allroad ECU Swap - VAG Commander Post by: vtraudt on December 31, 2012, 06:44:33 AM I need to swap stock ECU and tune S4 ECU between my TWO 2002 Audi Allroad.
The tuned (S4 basis) ECU can be swapped I assume (no immo problem), but the stock ECU won't work. I assume I need to get the Immo 3 pin from the stock ECU. VAGcom wiki says I need the pin's from BOTH ECU (but the 'old' ECU is the S4 based tuned ECU). 1. How can I perform the swap? 2. To retrieve Immo 3 pins, it seems the VAG Commander is the right tool. What version will handle by 2002 Allroads? 3. Will this one work? If not, other link? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VAG-K-CAN-Commander-USB-OBD-OBDII-OBD2-Adapter-Cable-1-4-Black-/360521551766?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53f0c24f96 4. Both cars are stage 2 ready. I assume i could just flash the stock ECU with a 'non immo' stock, stage 1 or stage 2 file here from the forum? Only need the 'stock' ECU for a month or so. Title: Will S4 M box work in my 6 spd Allroad (stock ECU 4Z7 907 551 L) Post by: vtraudt on January 01, 2013, 07:16:11 PM As mentioned early in this thread, I need to swap ECU between 2 Allroads (2002, 6 spd).
One is a tuned S4 ECU flashed to 8D0 907 551 M (no immo issue, will work in other car), the other is a stock ECU. Can I just pickup a stock S4 M box and put into the AR? Or flash the stock ECU with stage 1 or 2 (both cars stage 2 ready) with a file here from the forum to get around the immo issue? Just need to buy some time until my car is stage 3 ready (tune ECU already standing by). Also: have 6 spd AR ECU with MTM tune; immo kicks in (car cranks and fires for one second, then dies). Anyway to make that work? Could mail the ECU to someone who can get it to work (some $$ for the effort, naturally). Title: Re: 2003 Allroad ECU Swap. Question about the immobilizer Post by: ddillenger on January 01, 2013, 07:23:25 PM If you can't figure it out, LMK. I'd be willing to help.
Yes, you can just put an m-box in the AR, but the immo light on the dash will blink constantly (along with a chime when you start the car). In addition, you will have to remove one of the guide pins from the m-box ecu in order to plug it in. Title: Re: 2003 Allroad ECU Swap.

Is it an actual m-box, or an allroad ecu flashed to an m-box? |
