I'm only trying to make it easier for our customers.

Pro tuners that don't trust their distributors/partners have no interest in making anything easier for customers... they simply don't want you flashing their stuff willy nilly.

If anything, they want to make flashing their images as inconvenient as possible.

Understandably so as they're protecting their investment.

I guess I just assumed because I have the tools to flash the ECU's already, that I could simply make something that I would be able to use those same tools to be able to do it on the bench.

Guess I'm chasing my tail.

In theory, it is possible you can bootmode flash some kinds of protected images for ME7.1

But there are a million ways for pro-tuners to make even that impossible. I'd say you can't do it w/o more details on their protection schemes, which I doubt they will be very willing to talk about.

Anyone know what the boot pin is for the ecu plug?

What to try and eliminate something, what to boot it via the main ecu plug

Doesn't go to the ECU connector.

If it was that simple there wouldn't be instructions to short a pad on the PCB.

Im pretty sure i read somwere on here that there was one of the pins on the ecu plug that can place the ecu in boot mode?

No, you didn't. For some reason you insist on having to be told everything multiple times. There is no way to bootmode the ecu without opening the ecu.

For my testing purposes I like to use jetski/motorcycle battery. It provides adequate power and it stays pretty stable which is important. I am not sure about ATX power supplies if they can react quick enough to a voltage drop. I would trust a good battery more than an ATX power supply. Just my opinion.

Yes, but have the battery on a charger.. There's more risk of the baby battery going dead than a car battery..

Even put the ATX on the battery, would help more than having no supply at all!

Friends I have a big doubt, anyone can confirm if on bench pinout for a I5 20V 2.5L engine with ME7.1.1 ECU is:
Pin 1 -> Ground
Pin 2 -> Ground
Pin 3 -> 12v
Pin 21 -> 12v
Pin 43 -> K-line
Pin 62 -> 12v.

I ask because I have testing it with and without pin 21 and I get all time Not response from controller? But ECU is now 100% working.

For your knowledge friends Pin 121 --> +12V due the trick. ECU is a 07K906032J from a MK5 VW Jetta I5 20V 2.5L.

I had troubles to get bootmode 551c box that i can flash with galletto--> opened ecu pin 24 to ground through 1kohm resistor and then power up after that leave pin 24 to ground as long as you are flashing. Work for me.
