Hi,
I would like to share my simos18 adventure which was long and finish with a success.
After to see that all address from MCU was not correctly read with the tools, I went to VW after sale services.
It was possible to proceed ECU exchange with extra rights even if was not a new one.
Anyway, we don't know if the policies changed or it was not possible to adapt immo with a wrong SW, but all procedures finished with error.
After that, I had the chance to find a correct tools in order to be able to have a real full read.
So, I confirm that it was my main issue so I was not able to follow the advices.
Only for testing, I create an immo off solution from
www.weboctopus.nl and I confirm the solution was not working => SAFE on Dash but DTC (ECU blocked) was not set.
I think it's a partial immo off or something likes that.
In conclusion, the correct way for me was:
- Read Donor ECU
- Create a real immo off solution from VehiCAL.net
- Flash the correct SW with .frf file
- Now, immo is on again, so we have to pay a new service on VehiCAL.net. they don't use MCUID but SW numbers also. I used another way.
- Read damaged ECU and donor ECU again
- Transfer immo information from damaged to the donor with
www.weboctopus.nl- Flash again the Donor with immo information changed
- Put in the car.
- Realize a ride
