Hey guys,

I noticed several tuners are actually changing the ECU number in the file but base file is based on something else. For example I got LP tuned file from a tuner but it is clearly HS version, even VCDS reports it as LP and so does me7check. Does anyone know how to do this? Would like to revert it back to original part number.

Thank you.

Yeah, just grep a hexdump of the file to find the value & location location. Then change the hex values for the string.

It would be really usefull to log every hardware version that has been cross flashed. Like a compatibility list so us noobs know what is safe to flash to what hardware.

Matt,
I think you misunderstood me. I mean keep a log *here* of which H/W can be cross flashed with which other H/W's binary.

This would enable those of us with only an intimate knowledge of our own car's ECU to be able to learn from similar binaries without having to get hold of lots of different DAMOS / xdf's.

It's probably worth mentioning that my personal interest is always in 1.8t stuff as that's my car

I might set up a table in the Wiki to show what I'm on about if there's any interest.
