Just when everyone starts getting a handle on ME7 you go and hit the reset button for yourself!  Congrats on the new car, when does the spare ECU come?   Wink

From what I can tell, its going to be a tough nut to crack, and I am unsure I can do it w/o factory help (and/or in an unencumbered fashion).

So.

No promises.

Just heard magpro2 x17 module will have test release of protocol for simos 8.4 in the next month, just a fyi nyet.  i dont know what tool will do this as of yet.

I have no information on this ecu type from any of my contacts, must get a bin to research it.

seems like FRC SPI does this as well.  SPI is fairly cheap for hardware but plugins/modules will get you good.  Maybe ask them about it.  I think you can get the interface for around 700usd but plugin for simos i have NO idea.

It's old Simos 6.2 - no problem to read/write this ECU type.
Continental/Simos 8.4 on 3.0TFSI engine is totally different.
AFAIK APR can chiping this one at the moment.

Another tuning variants are "additional tuning-boxes".
