Hi there,
I've been using this forum for a while and learnt how to turn the immobilisor off on ME7.5 ECU's. This has been really useful as I've had / done lots of 1.8T conversions into older VW's.
Last year I successfully turned the Immo off on a friends R32 ME7.1.1 ecu for his conversion. This one was a little different (larger file, bottom half padded with FF's), I found I had to power on both the constant ECU live and ignition live at the same time to be able to achieve bootmode. I've been using the ME7EEPROM tool which is really useful.
I've been having a look at another friend's MK4 golf 2.8 24V VR6 ecu for a conversion into a Corrado, however i'm struggling to get it into bootmode. I've done some searching around and have come across various posts like this:

Only way I've been able to write these eeproms has been with a chipburner I'm afraid. I desolder, read, turn them off, and then write the data back before reinstalling the chip. Takes about 5 minutes once the hot airs warmed up.
I've had some success with argdubs tool, it claims to have written successfully, but the data wasn't changed.
Is this the only way to read/write the immo file on these ECU's? I believe the chip reads 5P08C3 on the chip itself. So have been trying to connect to it using 95P08.
I also came across this post:
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=6295.0Has anyone had any success with turning achieving bootmode in order to read/write to this ecu?
Cheers,
Dave
