Title: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: jogtx16v on March 07, 2015, 10:41:08 PM Hi
I'm new owner of a 2000 S4 cactus green ;D the car are 100% stock. 103 000 miles on it. I search for a good oem stock revision file. I'm curious if the stock A-box file from europe (265hp) can be flashed over my A-box US ecu..... I think the two bin are 1024kb... Any hardware difference between US and Euro ? Title: Re: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: ddillenger on March 07, 2015, 10:49:22 PM Euro file has immobilizer. Read the understanding/retrofitting immobilizer sticky.

I have some experience with immo delete but not sure if I have understand... after reading the part 2 of the sticky do I need to replace my 95040 file with one euro 95040 off file ?

Title: Re: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: turboat on March 08, 2015, 03:20:51 AM I would take a backup of your 95040, write an immo off 95040.
However, the question is why you would want an A box, unless it was for the immo? Mbox is better defined and drives much better in stock form.

Im in Learning about that ;D But its mainly about I think m-box file have ESP and Hitachi MAF. not the same in my 2000 Title: Re: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: turboat on March 08, 2015, 09:02:10 AM DD has been kind enough to publish a M-box scaled for a bosch maf on the stage1 2.7t thread, and as your car doesnt have the ESP ABS controller you can just disable the fault codes in the ECU. But that is a bit of work if you are new to this...
Title: Re: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: jogtx16v on March 08, 2015, 08:46:40 PM Ok, after reading a lot, I think I will run stock M-box to begin. but later I will try to make my own stage1.
I have downloaded the DD M-box file for Bosch maf, and the XDF what i'm planning to do is: 1-Disable Secondary Air Injection Diagnosis and save the.bin 2-Correct the checksum with ME7Sum and use me7check to confirm twice. 3-Flash in bootmode the file. 4-recoding the cluster to 1025. do I need to do this ? -there is the only thing I need to disable and im ready to run the stock Mbox ? I will go read about ESP dtc removal... I'm not sure where starting (http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/641280Nouvelleimagebitmap.png) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=641280Nouvelleimagebitmap.png) Title: Re: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: jogtx16v on March 09, 2015, 12:27:48 PM anyone can confirm if i'm in the good way ?
Title: Re: US A-box vs Euro A-box Post by: turboat on March 09, 2015, 12:58:06 PM Yeah that looks good. You may also need to disable Evap pump/leak detection, etc, if you do not have that stuff fitted to your car.
