How did you read it??? Try this...

Greets MR...

[doordie40]

I read it VVDI PROG

[brobble]

Your EEPROM is not faulty, it is only byte flipped. Maybe same with flash!? What is your problem with car???

[doordie40]

car no ignition

[doordie40]

can u check my flash

[rola1971]

can u check my flash

may be problem in button?
check fault first

[brobble]

Your flash looks good. But if you want you can try this. It´s from same software number here from dk, but different version. And rola is right. You should check for dtc and clear them. Or is ELV completly dead???

And check measuring values. Maybe problem in key switch (micro switches or reading coil)

ok after witter the eeprom car start now i need adapt Gearbox to J518
how can i do ?

[brobble]

You must tell us the whole story to the car. Otherwise noone can help you. Did you change some parts (ECU and ELV or Gearbox)? When all parts are original from car, TCU doesnt need to be adapted. For adapting TCU you need to know the component security data of TCU. For example read out from ecu or elv from car, where the gearbox is from. You can adapt it with AVDI or VVDI.

Hi have read alot about the J518 module and what I have read from you posts you sound like an expert on this matter. I hope you could take the time and help me. I have Audi Q7 2007 that have the regular no ignition when I turn the key problem. I'm able to start the car if I use the Ross-tech software and clear the error. I have taken of the J518 module and changed the switches and the relay. I have tested the electrical motor and I works. Nothing of that fixes the problem. After this I used an Xprog to read out the eeprom and flash. I bought an secondhand J518 module with the same chip (it was from an A6) I transfered the eeprom and the flash to the new module and tested it it the car. Now the car is totaly black when I turn the key and after I put it in I can't take the key out. If I swap back to the old J518 I can remove the key like regular and if i clear the error code i can start the car like usual. What am I doing wrong or missing here? I thought it would be possible to clone my old J518 to an other working J518 and It would be plug and play? Am I wrong? Could it be the files that have been flipped? Do you have any other tips that I could try?

Best Regards

Xprog should copy 9S12 1:1. Maybe you have poor clone ??
The easiest way to get rid of ELV is to cut red/black wire (3 pin connector) when ELV is unlocked and you dont have to bother it enymore...

[tusentack]

OK I will try that but will that not generate a error code next time I put in the key and try to start the car? If I'll send you the dumps will you be able to see if they are right?


Thanks

No, it will disable elv. Best solution for this problem.

[tusentack]

What does that red/black wire do? Do I just cut it after I have turned on the car and everything should just work? Will the steering lock still lock after this when I take out the key?

Hi mates,
I have audi a6 with problems. I changed ELV to donor one and I do immo off on ecu but car no start. Maybe original ee from elv is wrong but I dont how check it out. Is there a software or way to do it?
I saw on this you can check ee and flash from elv.
Thanks a lot ;)

after turning the key in the ignition, does the lock unlock, ignition turns on or no reaction to the key ??
did you do EZS diagnostics?
connection to EZS via OBD is?

Hi mate,
Elv doesnt unlock after turn ignition on, starter doesnt work with key and only turn on the MMI screen.
ELV has communication on diag:
00185 - - elv problem
00288 - actuartor N360
00166 - problem on immo

What do you think where is the problem?
thanks in advance ;)
