read the eeprom and upload it here

Probably because the actual contribution is being done by a handful of people while others are waiting on their asses. Btw posting for new stuff which is actually really hard to achieve is not something someone will do happily unless he runs into some kind of trouble..

That said i saw some older Gurus joining in on simos although they trashed this forum on certain posts on social media.

Now maybe it is your turn to fill the forum with useful posts instead of pointing the obvious

Dont get me wrong , but there is still a lot of interesting threads to read on here for sure, but you do get what I mean anyway.

And yes I plan to give something back in the ways  (which are my experiences so far) I can , but  there is still a lot ahead of me before I can reach the likes of some other members here.

But ME7 was used in many cars and brands there is still a lot to explore and document fully. 5 cylinders, vr5 me7, vr6 me7, volvo me7 , 1.8 NA etc . These have threads on them yet but they are nowhere near complete and yes I know this forum is american mostly, and many of those engines werent offered in the USA , however this is stil "the" ME7 forum. Just as an example.

I just feel like its a little "empty" around here these days, or maybe I just feel like it cause I check Nefmoto daily / sparse hourly since a few months, and that is not a bad thing ( I think ?).

What do you ya'll think ?

93c56 maybe, possibly labeled s220. read with a programmer.
can not quite remember but code is 0x00 address or very early in the address range.

16 bit hex or decimal, which ever makes more sense. i think it is decimal.

so, i just got a b5 s4 6 speed and of course the radio is stuck in safe mode.
since the code i found in the manual does not work, i am assuming the previous owner swapped out the radio he had ie. double din or whatever to another used stock unit not knowing you need the security code.
i assume this because i found the power and rca cables for a subwoofer in the trunk already ran.
i just called Audi of Albany NY and the service manager told me since audi changed their ways, i cant simply provide the serial number anymore. i would have to go in do a recode on the radio with their scan tools to make a new code.

does anyone know of any way or chinese steal your car hack programs that can do this procedure?
im not paying the 1 hr 155$+tax fee he told me it would cost.

i haven't found much info on hacking the radio code

I can't seem to get my definition file to correctly display the information for a few sections of the file. Using the 551R I found here (which the car is on currently), I couldn't get my definitions to ever display the tables for any of the 7.1.1 / 03+ allroad correctly. I tried searching and many files, so many so I bricked one ECU after flashing what I assume was an incorrect checksum on a file. (My entire fiasco started after just trying to Read my original ECU info, as I got it used with some sort of tune. Bricked it, as it was some sort of APR tune).


I'd like to think I'm not completely dumb, as none of this flashing is too new to me (every phone/tablet I have is root, and runs TWRP, etc). I'm not afraid to try again, I just don't know if I'll figure out the table conversions. I saw in a  thread a while back someone else couldn't get it, and you had the hex info for it, and that didn't work either.

I'd love to jump back in and try again, as the car is just sitting in the garage anyways, due for the 2.7T 90k service. I did give up some hope and push it off, after reading a big thread about the top tuner of the 2.7T passing away.


Any help or direction is appreciated. I can upload everything I've got from a few months ago.

It's one thing to recalibrate and quite another to completely reengineer.  Thus it's a lot of work or one Helleva lot of work depending on which result that you're trying to accomplish. 

Yep. agree, probably as most of those that can contribute are probably working on the simos stuff now and don't want to share what they know because then everyone will know how to tune the dam things. 

Exactly, the past few threads, including some of mine, are file requestes, help requestes, problem solving etc. There arent actually any "interesting" reads, tuning, or tuning experiences in detail.

What simos ecus are you reffering to btw , modern golfs with tfsi etc. they use simos ?

the whole mapswitch stuff is completly after the normal stuff where in a normal bin only is FF in hex editor right?

so if i transfer everthing to my M box bin, the mapswitch works should also work in there?  i use a M box bin in a 2000 eu spec a6 ajk with s4 agb cams and bosch maf so i propably cant use the bin attached in here?

Map switching routine is after the normal stuff yes, but it is also referenced in the main code to the new routine. If you just copy and paste the routine , you literally just have the routine at the end of the bin, may as well put in "stairway to heaven" lyrics in there instead for all the good it will do. You also need to make sure you find the reference point in the main map and copy the hex for that and any other parts referenced elsewhere. If you know what you are doing then sure copy and paste will work but if you don't then without IDA pro you have a hard task.
