I have made progress in certain parts.... I have managed to find the maximum speed in gear table for manual mode and that no longer limit it, we get full rpm pull at last.
But I cannot find what is stopping it from going over about 5000 rpm in auto gear mode, it is driving me nuts.
I do not have a definition file for this 0bh300012Q sw5206
So I'm just scratching about looking for tables that are the same as the MQB ones that I have xdf / a2l and various OLS for.
And all of this is in German, and I am an idiot with no idea what I'm even looking for.
Does anyone have a definition file, or can generate them etc? This is all along way above my ability, this whole task is to be honest, but if I had definitions I feel like I could push it forwards.
I tried to flash the RS3 firmware onto it using the FRF update files - I had to convert to SGO then change the seed key, and it started to do it, but then it wouldn't flash the first block correctly so its mapped out differently. It did soft brick it, and it wouldn't take the FL_0BH300012Q_5206_RTLO_sw.frf as it said its conditions are not met.... but by utter luck PCMFlash wrote that block back to it as its the only block it writes. Total rescue! Maybe the RS3 route is possible, I am struggling to get any full proper dumps from these early pre-MQB dq500 units, I have many for later ones as people clone them due to the component protection.
I paid for a days licence with HexProg early today, but that will not read or write this as it only does DQ500-MQB

A friend has magic motorsport flex which I may have to borrow, but I have a full dump from a RS3 0DL300012H 2110 and a good definition, but the memory mapping is totally different, I'm not sure it will even boot on it, they are not the same size flash areas.
