Default Vag-Tacho for Immob III?

Hello,

I've got Vag-Tacho and Vag-Com and know my way around them enough to be able to reprogram ECU's etc within Immob 1 and Immob 2 but this doesn't do Immob 3.

Does anyone know of an alternative which can get codes from Immob 3 ECUs?

I want to swap over to a Manual ECU when I carry out a conversion later on but don't want to just pay someone else to do it...

Cheers

MG

On PF A8 you can swap ECU's with just VAGCOM(VCDS) without PIN. On FL I think you need PIN and that can be extracted with VAG Commander if I am not wrong.

As for the manual swap you can change software coding With VCDS on S8, no need for ECU swap. A bit more problematic on A8 as 4.2 A8 don't have coding for manual in ECU because they were never sold with manual.

What's the soft code for 'manual' within the stock ecu?

I also want to be able to add keys etc so will still need to be able to get the immob code out of it.

I can check later but you should be able to find it somewhere on the forum here as it has been discussed before.

should be a 1 in the fourth digit in the ECU code.
Mine is 10753 for auto, manual would be 10713
