ECU programming – VIRGIN, Car Pass, TECH-2 and OP-COM
This ECU has been prepared in VIRGIN condition. This means that data from the previous vehicle has been removed and the module can be programmed and assigned to another vehicle.
The vehicle's Car Pass security code is required for ECU adaptation. Programming can be carried out using diagnostic equipment such as TECH-2 or OP-COM. During the procedure, the ECU is assigned to the vehicle and synchronised with the immobiliser system.
Depending on the condition of the original ECU, it may also be possible to prepare the replacement unit by cloning data from the original ECU. In this case, immobiliser data, vehicle configuration and other relevant information can be transferred from the faulty module to the replacement ECU.
