I haven't open it up ( my car ) to compare them( on my test bench). I read it from this member http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=1586.0title= According to what he said it is different. I am so lost, I thought Siemens and Infineon are join company. |

Ive had to bootmode my ecu in the last couple days, I also picked up a spare. My original ecu Im pretty sure has an infineon chip in it, its an me7.5 from an a6 1.8t.
I got it into boot mode by grounding a pad under the boot pin, you can see its connected via a track on the board. My original ecu worked first time, but the spare I bought is more fiddly. It seems to work if you power off, wait 5 seconds or so, ground the pin and power on, wait about 1 second and release it. My spare ecu has been going into bootmode nearly every time with this timing. Ive also found after Ive done anything with it, eg me7_9050 read, i need to power it down and bootmode it again, or it wont comunicate.
I use this pin

They all have infineon chips AFAIK. I thought itemsonsale had a siemens ecu, that's where my confusion came in. You can also use the ram chip underneath for bootmode, but pin24 is the way to go. If you can't get it into bootmode, you're doing something wrong.

ram pin is much more convenient.  especially for mk4 style ecus that are glued all the way around. just have to pull the back off. |

IS that what you refer to? the NEC chip?

Doesn't matter, difference between removing top or bottom or both, is like 3sec in labour  |

hey guys just a question since this is the same subject i have been confused on, but here is a picture of my ecu, this is later VOLVO, im assuming me 7.5 by design, earlier me7 i can achieve bootmode by just grounding out the proper pin, but this particular ECU with infineon chip and updated design i had some trouble with at first
i tested with two junkyard spares to be sure, they are cheapo for these.. upon grounding out the boot pin, the ECU partially fried
....it will start the vehicle, but will never go into bootmode. ever again, so i switched to a 2k ohm resistor, and have never had the issue with bootmode.
has this happened with anyone with audi/VW?

Hello! I've come across this forum (and NefMoto) when trying to fix a "bricked" ECU from a friend's car. I've programmed a few ME7.2.1 (or 7.3H4) from Puntos before, and they all used a pin on the engine loom connector to go into boot mode. However, this ECU was different. It is an EDC15 from a VW Polo 1.4 TDI. There was an error while flashing a new ROM image to the ECU, and the car does not start up, nor does it connect to the Galletto interface that was used to dump and program the ROM image. I've come across this forum hoping to find a way to reflash the ECU. I've read a few topics on how to jumper Pin 24 to Ground, to set it in boot mode, and so I've done. I've used a clip to jumper pin 24 to ground before the key was turned, then turn the key and wait for about four seconds before releasing the jumper. However when I try to use NefMoto afterwards, to connect while in boot mode, I get this error:  I'm doing this with the ECU in the car, by the way. Maybe I've missed some step? What am I doing wrong? I would really appreciate your help guys! Cheers. |

Nefmoto doesn't flash in bootmode, for that you need galletto (I'm not well versed in edc15, but from what I've read the process is similar to me7). The software, and instructions for using it with your kkl cable are included in the flashing/chipping section, under "Galletto software edited with proper english".
Nefmoto is only useful for determining whether you are actually in bootmode, but I don't even use it for that.

Thanks for the reply!
I've got the ECU on my desk right now. Can I connect the Galletto to it without the ECU in the car? (provided I supply +12V to the power and IGN, and also connect the K-Line for programming). Also, should I use the same setting as if I was writing it without Boot Mode, in the galletto software?
Sorry for bothering you so much, I really needed this ECU saved. Meanwhile, i'll read some more and try to figure a way to sort this out!
