I had 85 faults after reading the flash in the ECU in car and couldnt start unless clearing
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
my mate called earlier and said he had that invalid transponder code on one i gave to him to test. he flashed an 09 cal into the 08 computer and said the vin was gone again which is expected but the car runs sweet so the ecu is defintely back in business!!Tazzi wrote:So cloning an ECU and only changing the immo code doesnt seem to be enough.
I had a fault come up saying invalid transponder key. These keys are my original, so its interesting to hear its saying that.
Ill dump the file after linking to see what changes anyways after doing the security link, which Im about 8mins of 10mins into.
Did a SPS on it after full write to ensure correct slave??julespatch wrote:Derrrp.
After 3 or so writes it's now throwing the controller unlocker response code. That's pretty expected after changing the OS year though so no issues there. Back to the doctor's office for you little buddy
In fact i have a friend with one of these older e38 corvette's that we really need to do an ecu upgrade on before we put a new badder motor in, along with my brother's car.They're 2010+ hardware that's flashed with a specially modified operating system, and then the VIN is forced to match your vehicle. The 08+ are super easy to do. 06-07 is what is a lot trickier to accomplish without wiring changes, but I've managed to make it work.
The major advantages are the increased airflow and injector flow rate limits, but there are other additions like the O2 integrator delay, adjustable axis labels, and a few others. These things also help cure the annoying 08 Z06 shutdown issue.
Depending on the year its just a matter of changing a few of the switches for the clutch and certain other things to work. its a direct swap.Tre-Cool wrote:I would be happy to "splash some cash" if we could get the later E38 ecu's to work in place of the earlier 64lb injector limited E38's.
Apparently it can be done & I don't think there is anything special about it since someone sell's it as a upgrade for the corvette's.

I do know you need to swap the throttle bodies when using the different ecu years, but i guess if you can flash in the older ecu slave & immo data into a new ecu, then maybe that would keep it as a plug'n'play solution?
Or maybe we just need to put the new os into the older ecu's?
