Hate to revive an old and very colorful thread, but looking to get a couple things done on my B6 A4. I've read this thread (twice) and the immo thread by ddillenger amongst a few others over the years, but those two most recent. My end goal is something most of you probably could do in about 2 minutes flat, but it'll take some learning for me, which is why I'm posting. I want to get a spare ECU for my 1.8 and basically clone mine leaving the immo on as it shouldn't affect anything. I know Argdub's thread should have more info on that. I also, if I can get my hands on one would like to get a second hand stage 1+ tuned ECU and use it in my car, as I have all the supporting hardware already. But from my research, I'll need to turn the immo off, otherwise the tune will wipe itself, when I marry it with my car.
First things first, the KISS way was quoted here for bench testing, which I have no doubt I can do correctly.
1. Everything connected, power switch on the +12V wire coming to bench harness in off position
2. Ground pin24 to ecu board edge
3. Flick power switch on
4. Keep pin24 grounded for a second or two
5. Remove pin24 ground wire
6. Get boot-mode
From here, I
think argdubs thread about 95040 EEPROM programmer (
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=1168.0title= should steer me in the direction I need to go to get the info out and write back to it with the help of a hex editor (which I have used before to get my SKC using vag commander).
I'm looking for confirmation that my rough path of thinking is in line with what you people would do in this scenario. If not, please let me know what I should be searching/looking up instead.
