ive never had the trouble with argdub tool as you are having.works first try everytime for me with 95040
actually i have had problems with the 5P08C3 it would not communicate and i had problems with getting the ecus into bootmode. i ended up having to desolder the eeprom and put it into a GQ-4X and manually read and modify for immo off.
Hey Corey, thanks for your reply. However, All the issues I've been having are and have been documented by others on this forum, both by the experienced and inexperienced. I just happened to have highlighted the problems as they happen as well well as the problem being resolved, with an explanation as how it was resolved. Most people are giving up, others just say problem fixed, with no procedure as to how they got there. This is why people get frustrated and you get a lot of noob questions, people just can't find stuff. I admit, I'm a noob, and I dove in the deep end but I don't have two left thumbs, unfortunately, there are people on all boards who can't change a tire, never mind trying this!
Anyway, I found a post where Argdub himself addresses the problem I'm having as an incorrect message (writing ok, when it's not), the guy he helps, figures out the problem, but does not outline how he got around to the fix....further perpetuating the pain!
If it helps anyone trying to get on to boot mode, I did it with the case open and grounding pin 24 right on the chip. The first time I got in to bmode, it was sheer luck, the 2nd time it was brutal, almost gave up. I ended turning the ignition switch on
and then grounding pin 24 by tapping it a couple of times, then running the program reasonably quick.
Maybe I'm using the wrong version (1.30), I'm not sure I need specify memtype or chip select, as you can see the program identified those, possibly incorrect, but I don't know that, somebody does thought. I'm putting up a profile picture of one of my projects (not an Audi) but not for the faint of heart....it's got a 16v hybrid conversion. So, can I work on cars? I think I can.
