I've also never had success in the car
Always bench it works everytime
Thanks for your help guys! I've managed to read the eeprom now after a little trial and error -
.\ME7EEPROM.exe -p 4 -r ecu.bin --bootmode 95P08 --CSpin P6.3
ME7_EEPROM v1.40
COM: 4, Baud Rate: 10400
Memory type: 95P08, size: 1024
Chip Select pin: P6.3
Opening COM4 ... OK
Starting Boot_mode ... uC ID response 0xD5 ... OK

Closing COM4
However, the whole point of this was to retrieve the SKC, and this doesn't look right to me. I was expecting a 4-digit SKC but there's 5 digits below. I've changed/removed some of the details below as I don't want to post my real VIN and SKC on t'interweb :-)
.\eepromtool_04.exe --in ecu.bin
Read in 1024bytes
Found 1024b bin - parsing as a R32 bin - experimental
ERROR: 1024byte file detected, but the last 512bytes are not all padded with 0xFF, this file is may be a corupt dump, a cluster dump or something other than an eeprom dump, open it with a hex editor - if this is a valid eeprom please post the file and vehicle info on the thread for this tool
EEPROM Status:

- VIN: WAUZZZ4E75N[removed] (Audi 2005 - A8 2003 on, Neckarsulm, Germany; Mlada Boleslav)
- SKC: 061234 <- not the real SKC, but 5 digits starting with a 6
- Immobiliser: On
- Checksum: Invalid Checksum
- Size: 1024bytes - 512bytes expected, check this is a eeprom bin

Can anyone confirm if a D3 A8 should have a 5-digit SKC starting with a 6 or is this wrong?
