cheap ebay vag-com cable + vag commander 2.5 downloadable on internet will allow you to hack into the cluster and change VIN/Immo/Mileage.

You obtain the immo code by accessing ECU, the code is right in the ECU info string it sends out at the very beginning of handshake and is visible in VAG-COM for example as well as vag commander itself. It is also visible once you access one of the vag blocks in vag-com.

Can i get some help on this, I bought the Ponoma Clip with a Chipmax 2 on hands, I tried to read my current ECU(ST95040 and program it onto the donor ECU but my car still will only started for 2 sec and die.

Chipmax2 will provide a Checksum , I believe the checksum should match between ECU if they clone it correctly?

the Chipmax2 won't allow me to erase the chip , it only allow me to program so I wonder if that's the problem.

I bought a spare ECU and I want to copy the IMMO3 chip from my car onto it ,so that I have a spare. I got a chipmax2 and the Pomona 8 pin clip.  First I got it connect and back up both ECU chip ST95040 chip then I try to program the spare ECU ( file from my current car), it program ok but not working when I plug in the spare ECu into the car.  Am I missing something?
