CAR STILL NOT START AFTER IMMO OFF, WHAT TO CHECK?
1) You can't mixte file between ecu. Make sure that you had read or write file from the same ecu.
2) Make sure you are using the right software for the right engine/model revision
3) Do you have any DTC Code ? If you are replacing a dead ecu, make sure nothing else is dead in the car.
4) If everything has been checked, please email us original file + immo off file for a analyse.
How to IMMO OFF SIMOS AND PCR2.1:
1) Get the orignal car software version (Exemple: "03L906023DM 03L906023DL").
2) Get a replacement ecu with that same version OR update ECU (look below information).
3) Full read replacement ecu, use IMMOFF17 to disable immo on FLASH
4) Write the saved flash to your replacement ecu
Why and What happen if i use a different software number ?
The SIMOS AND PCR2.1 ECU contain a "POWERCLASS". Powerklass is unique from a software to another, it has been done this way to make sure you don't use a more powerfull software on a weaker car. Exemple, 180hp soft in a 150hp car. Once ignition is ON, the ecu send his powerklass to BCM and others CAN COMPONENTS. All component need to run on the same powerklass id. if the ECU has a different one, all the others components will reject the non-matching component (ECU in that case) and car will not start.
How to fix that ?
You need to follow the next instructions just below, (FLASH IMMO OFF AND UPDATE ECM TO A NEWER OR COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE VERSION)
FLASH IMMO OFF AND UPDATE ECM TO A NEWER OR COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE VERSION
1) DO A BOOT OR BENCH MODE READ TO GET THE FULL FLASH BIN
2) SELECT THAT FLASH BIN TO PATCH IMMO OFF USING IMMOFF17
3) WRITE THE FLASH BIN IMMO OFF TO ECU
4) CONNECT THE ECU FOR NORMAL ECU PROGRAMMING (IN CAR OR ON BENCH)
5) FLASH THE NEWER FRF NORMALLY WITH YOUR OBD WRITER TOOL.
6) ECU IS NOW UPDATED BUT IMMO IS ON AGAIN
7) DO A BOOT OR BENCH MODE READ TO GET THE FULL FLASH AGAIN.
8) SELECT THAT FILE TO PATCH IMMO OFF USING IMMOFF17 (FREE TOKEN)
9) WRITE THE FLASH BIN IMMO OFF TO ECU
10) ECU IS NOW UPDATED AND IMMO OFF.
HOW TO KEEP FLASH IMMO OFF USING TOOL TO REFLASH TUNE TROUGH OBD.
1) DO A BOOT OR BENCH MODE READ TO GET THE FULL FLASH BIN
2) SELECT THAT FLASH BIN TO PATCH IMMO OFF USING IMMOFF17
3) WRITE THE FLASH BIN IMMO OFF TO ECU
4) CONNECT THE ECU FOR NORMAL ECU PROGRAMMING (IN CAR OR ON BENCH)
5) USING YOUR TUNING FLASH TOOL, SELECT THE V-READ AND FLASH THE ECU.
6) ECU IS NOW UNLOCKED BUT IMMO IS ON AGAIN
7) DO A BOOT OR BENCH MODE READ TO GET THE FULL FLASH AGAIN.
8) SELECT THAT FILE TO PATCH IMMO OFF USING IMMOFF17 (FREE TOKEN)
9) WRITE THE FLASH BIN IMMO OFF TO ECU
10) ECU IS NOW UNLOCKED AND IMMO OFF. READY TO TUNE TROUGH OBD. READY TO BE TUNED/FLASHED TROUGH OBD.
Is it compatible with VAG IMMO5 and IMMO6 ?
Yes, it is. IMMO5 is named as "WFS5" in our software suite. IMMO6 is WFS6
FLASH IMMO OFF PATCH IS LOCKED TO MCUID
Each time you use immo off over SIMOS8 to 18 and MED17 UDS file, the MCUID is recorded into our database and associated to your account. That way you will not pay twice if you: Update ecu with FRF then re-apply immo off patch over it.
TOKENS
How i get my token key once paid?
Our system will automatically send the token key to the email from which the purchase originated. Allow 15-20 minutes to get the email.
How much does the token cost?
The price of the tokens can be found in the “BUY TOKENS” section.
Do tokens expire?
Your token will expire after one year from the date of your last purchase. Example: If you have 100 left tokens in your account and leave them for more than 365 days, the system will block your token. At that time, if you order, say 20 tokens, your account will be unlocked and you will get 120 tokens in total. This way you never lose your token.
Is the token charged if the file is not proceeded?
No, Tokens are only subtracted if the file process is complete, you can run software and open a file to see if it is compatible without token subtraction. A message will appear with your total remaining token and cost before any transaction.
Can I use the same token key on multiple PCs?
Yes, the software is not pc-attached. It does require internet to work.
MISC
Softwares are detected as a virus
Downloaded softwares from our download section are encrypted and packed to avoid cracking. This encryption also block anti virus from analysing our software and sometime it cause false alert. We recommand you to add our software list in your exclusion.
Communication error 998
1) Disable antivirus firewall defender windows
2) Try using another internet connection.
3) Sync your pc time, Allow/enable Windows automatic hour synchronisation
What tool can do full read flash/eeprom on tricore ecu ?
ECU BOSCH MED17/EDC17 AND CONTINENTAL SIMOS8 to 18 can be full read with a lot of different tool.
We recommand AUTOTUNER, ALIENTECH KTAG, CMD FLASH, BFLASH
DTC DISABLER
How to delete UXXXX code ?
Here is two different pattern that you can follow:
U0XXX = PCXXX
and
U1XXX = PDXXX
Where i can find the compatible list of DTC Disabler ?
Follow the link to get the tested files list: https://www.neurosuite.ca/immoff17_medc17_filelist.html
Is there any file that will work better?
Yes.
We suggest to load unmodified original file first and FULL read, if possible.
My file is not listed in scanned database, is it supported?
IF your file is not listed, DTC Disabler will ask you to upload the file on our server. In few secondes you should be able to open your file. Our algo will work better if you have a complete file reading not virtual read.
Flag a file
If your file can't be processed for whatever the reason, you will be prompted to FLAG that file. Flagging the file will alert us to manually add it to the serveur. We add them generally in the same day. You will be notified by email as soon the file is ready.
Once file is flagged, what's the average time to proceed?
It could take from 15 minutes to 48 hours.
LAUNCH 9 17
LAUNCH CONTROL DO NOT WORK / DOES NOT ACTIVATE
1) ESP is OFF ?
2) Clutch signal is working ? (Check with VCDS, engine cruise switch, google it!)
3) if car is AUTOMATIC or DSG, have you selected DSG option ?
4) Engine rev hit a soft limiter ? If car has NO ESP button, you will need to RAISE "standby nmax" map in the calibration map. If you are not able to do this, you can set launch control under this soft limiter rpm.
WHAT IS THE BEST SETTING?
We recommand to start with default setting.
That's depend of the setup (turbo size, exhaust, engine size).
More ATDC timing degree = louder bang
Some preset:
VW/AUDI 2.0T MANUAL with stock turbo
SPEED: 5km/h
RPM ATDC: 4000
TIMING ATDC: 15
RPM IGN CUT: 4200
RPM NLS: 5800
VW/AUDI 2.0T DSG with stock turbo
SPEED: 5km/h
RPM ATDC: 3950
TIMING ATDC: 15
RPM IGN CUT: 4010
TCU DSG LAUNCH RPM: 4000 (You must reflash tcu)
VW/AUDI 2.5
SPEED: 5km/h
RPM ATDC: 4400
TIMING ATDC: 16
RPM IGN CUT: 4600
RPM NLS: 6300
VW/AUDI 3.6
SPEED: 5km/h
RPM ATDC: 4300
TIMING ATDC: 12
RPM IGN CUT: 4500
RPM NLS: 6300
What is the best setting for DSG Launch ?
You need to set TCU DSG Software 50RPM more than launch ecu maximum rpm set.
IE: DSG Launch at 3500, Launch17 timing: 3350, ignition: 3450
CAN I RE-EDIT SETTING FOR FREE?
Yes, you can edit setting but you must use the exact same file as you did the first time.
Can i flash file over OBD ?
Yes, you can. For both MED9 and MED17. MED17, we tested it with PCMFLASH.
Error while processing the file
Error can happen if you tryed to process a non-complete virtual file. ERROR: "Can't locate freespace offset" or "Can't locate variable". It will also work with ANY tool using boot and/or bench service mode method to read and write. Such as MPPS, Bflash, Autotuner, Ktag, Trasdata, Kess and more. Only PCMFLASH will completely work by OBD at this moment.
EEPROM EDITOR
HOW TO CLONE SIMOS8 to SIMOS18 and CLONE PCR2.1 ECU
1) Make a full read of original ecu, make sure to have "ORI_FLASH.bin" and "ORI_EEPROM.bin" files
2) Execute eeprom editor and save decrypted original info by using "Export" button
3) Make a full read of replacement ecu save file as "REP_FLASH.bin" and "REP_EEPROM.bin" files
4) Import decrypted original info by using "Import" button
5) Save this eeprom as "REP_EEPROM_CLONE.bin"
6) Write "REP_EEPROM.bin" and "ORI_FLASH.bin" to your replacement ecu
