Problem:

I am attempting to bench read this J518 ELV module off a 2006 Audi A6 with anAutel IM508 xp400pro. I have tried connecting to both modules I have and neither will connect/read. Am I missing something here, or does the xp400pro need a 12vdc supply for bench work?

Solution:

Need to be hooked up to a 12 V supply.

Autel device has all the diagrams. There are two types of wiring diagrams.

Autel shows a resistor is needed as well.

The MotoPro (from MTPRO) is positioned as a direct competitor to the TMPro2 in the motorcycle key programming space, offering innovative procedures at a fraction of the cost—roughly one-quarter of the TMPro2’s price.

Where the TMPro2 requires users to purchase licenses separately, the Moto-Pro comes out of the box with 17 licenses already activated—a value exceeding $5,000 if purchased through the competition. Furthermore, any additional software activations for the Moto-Pro cost less than 30% of what TMPro2 charges for comparable upgrades.

Here comes the software function and license comparison between MOTOPro and TMPro2.

Problem:

AnOBDSTAR DC706user was trying to clone a DME for a 2022 BMW X3. It’s an MG1CS201 locked ECU. He was able to unlock ECU withC4-06 adapterin boot mode, then read EEPROM, Flash data and ISN. He was able to write the EEPROM file to the donor unit. The problem is when he tried to write the Flash, it fails to erase sector 4 then quits. Is it possible to clone this module?

Here is the clue.

Not possible to clone/cannot directly clone.

There is OTP sector that you cannot write to.

This is the kind of job you reprogram ECU to car, not clone.

Only sync new DME.

The ISN needs to be transferred by obd2 (need both eeproms from original and donor). Then program afterwards with Esys. Need Windows laptop andEnet cable.Then adapt sync new DME via OBD2.
