Unveiled: ECU swap and Mercedes immobilizer programming 

Man you saved my pocket!!!!!! 1000000% worked for me Can’t express my gratitude Thank you so much

I did it in a Mercedes Benz E320 W211 chassis, it is working perfect. Thank you very much for the video.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. this information got my car to start tonight .I have been broke down for over an hour until I watch your video,Thanks a lot!

I have done a 200 ML320 ecu swap. Same location for EEPROM. I used Chip Quik to remove chips safely. I cleaned the board with wick. Its very easy that way.

Thank you for revealing this simple fix! It worked just like your described using an identically versioned ECU. I used a W211 as the donor for a W209 failed ECU. Kudos for sharing the tip!

waooo i do this job thank so much for this video help me to save 1000$ recomend 100%

It works for me! after second times soldering.

ECU went bad on my 2001 C240 tried this and it fired up immediately. Amazing idea was wondering if anyone knows if this method works on other makes besides Mercedes.

Appreciate it Big man enough respect to u

Man you doing a great job but I have a question what can of software do you have to know which chip this is the EEprom can you help me please

Very helpful. I'm impressed. Question: I have an old 1996 c220 with 2.2 l engine (w202 chassis). Do you know if the immobilizer chip is on the front of the board or the back of the board? I only see two 8 pin dip ic s on the pcb. Neither one is the number on your more modern example. It probably predates the one in the vid. I'm guessing that it is one of these two chips. The rest are much larger.

thanks for the video i need somebody to do this for my car

hi i need help in finding the eeprom on my w203 045 the ecu board has only one side

I’m trying to do a 2011 sprinter with a 2012 ecu where the numbers match so would this work on that?

is it possible to separate pcb from metal housing? i can hear something felt off under pcb but cannot access. I suppose pcb is glued to metal housing?

Just did it to a spare ECU with same HW but DIFFERENT p/n (from a w211 donor car) and car (which is w219 model) does not start, besides throwing ABS/ESP error. I'm now wondering if some further data needing to be copied are stored somewhere else....

hank you very much for the video

Dan, do you have any presentation on GMC 2014 Acadia? Passengers side air bag light stays on.

Fantastic job sir.steve from the uk.

how about 2007 c230 would you able to know where is the transponder chip located ?

I was able to figure the eprom chip is 95080 on e550 ecu and switched the eprom chips between my original and used ecu i bought. the ECU i bought now has VIN of my original car. (OBD reader read the VIN). But I still can't start the car!

i have mercedes w211 e270 and can start they tell me i have ecu so can u tell me if ihave solution to fix it because orijinal not like the new one plz help

Yes if done correctly must need to make sure the chip is installed correctly and taking it off not to break the pins as we had ppl try doing it themself and then shiping it out to us to fix it If you try and break pins won’t be possible to recover info

Can you do this on a Mercedes sprinter 2012?

hi can you do the same with the eis module for a s320 cdi

Hi, I have S350 model with battery drain issue. I found the trouble is in the ECU. I have got another from junk, but the Eprom is a bit different in both. Is it ok to change it? Plz guide

Hi do u know where its located on a vito 108 2000 ecu cuz i cant find it help pleaseee

1996 c220 - board looks different. How can I identify the chip to swap"

dear friends are you familiar with 08 Benz C350 sport how I can do it with OBD 2 please let me know

Did you have a problem that lead you to buying a new ecu? I have a 2001 S500 that has intermittent starting. My dash lights come on no crank. Then I keep trying and after several attempts the car starts. Any ideas of what I should look for what might be causing this problem and what I may need to do to fix the problem? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

hi i vehix411, im from philippines...i bought the same ECU on my Kia Rio 2006 Manual Transmission, it's cranking but don't start and check engine is lighted and blinking, but we make start the car buy shutting the gas pedal..but it shutting off.Can you tell me if i need to reprogram the ECU swapped on my car? yet its the same..thanks

I have 2005 c230 komp with bad code line on cylinder two causing a miss fire so I bought a used ecm to swap. My ecm is sealed (a2711538779) and the layout is totally different. Would you happen to know which eprom it might be? There are three matching yours; (62506 0526), (L9637d 9526), (2272m 54t d6tf). Thanks and much appreciated!

can I do this with a 2003 sprinter van ecu?

Yo good that's wuzup it work out every single step it finnaly start it.....

What is the eprom location # for a 2000 s500 w220 there are two similar eproms on my w220 need to know what one is immbolizer thanks!

On my e55 i used to get diffent missfire codes po300 , 305to 308 and then (JUST) removed put back the ecu gave me whole diffrent codes and engine working rly bad. Comming to an idea that i need a ecu. Imma get a used one and i have the stock files from mine , can i just rewrite the (new) used ecu imma get from a CL55 ? Thanks

I have one seme probleam ecu swap but not start but this vehicle is ford fista i can chenj this chip how can find eeprom chip pilase tell some idea

great video

I have a 1998 MB SL500 and the Siemens 129-820-37-26 has been damaged. What do I need to do to get a replacement? Do you know if I can just get a new one with keys and is it plug and play?

what if i replaced my eis esl and ecu , due to lost keys and messed up ignition eis, come from doner car but numbers arnt same as my original , car starts but no power windiows or turnsignals, can i put imobiliser chip into my original , ? and if not what do i need to do ?

Hi,, Great from sae sedanten, indonesia I wan ask. . I have toyota grand avanza car 2017, i just changed the ECU, the car cant start and the immobilizer indicator doesn't flicker either. What should i do? Thanks 🙏

good idea using the aluminum foil. dont know why i havent thought of that

Hey man, i need some advice. I just bought a Mercedes sprinter 2006. It has some problem with communication computer and the star signal wont show. I have a car scanner abd i tried to read the codes but it will just show "error in communication". Im just asking if thier is some way you can give an advice that could help me out. Thanks

Can i swap eproms on 06 e320cdi? my ecu is gone, getting one fom junkyard.

I got ripped off by a used car dealer (Ruslan Brovarsky, Austin TX) on a 2003 C230K Apparently?? The key, door-lock, immobilizer, the ignition tumbler/switch along with the ECM Was all swapped from another car. I Don’t have the original ECM. From what I understand the reason nothing works on the car even though it starts and runs? It’s because I don’t have the original build file in the ECM to match the car. When I scanned the present ECM the Vin number is not even where it is supposed to be, it’s just blank. Any ideas what I can do?. My only recourse is to go to the dealer and buy a $2000 OEM ECM along with their labour and the pre-diagnostic review.

The eprom memory brings the information to be loaded into the ezs w210 module

Hi i change lock jam in ignition ecu and neiman .now contact key is good but not start.can i swap it..im not shure if my old ecu is lock on engine please help jc

does anyone know how to locate the eprom chip in benz?

I did and I am able to start and drive the car for about a block before it start missing real bad where I cannot go anywhere until I turn the car off and turn it back on and able to drive for another block before it mess up again

Does that work on Mercedes sprinter 2011?

How to identify if that is the immobilizer chip for other vehicle

Will his work for a 2001 ml320?

2003 Mercedes e320, I swapped eeproms. Car will crank start then die twice and then won’t crank at all. Thoughts ?

there is other thing need after exchange this chip or thats all no need other programing

Ihave a problem with my ml 320 model 2000 ,the problem is he was catch the break suddenly without im do anything ,the teqnission tell me the exclaration senser is not working well ,because the scanner show like that .& the cost is expensive

amazing

thanks can u till what is immoblilzer chip id for the 2000 mercedes ml-320 ecu

anyone know how to identify the eeprom on a c230 2004 model?

Would the donor ECU (the new used one) need to have come from the same exact C class model in order for it to function after swapping chips? or is their programming required after the chip has been swapped?

Great video VEHIX411 Just one quick question - Do you have to do any more re-programming to the donor ECU once swapping that EPROM, or do you swap that chip and re-fit the ECU to the car and it’s all done?

Hello. Where is an ECU in A190 w168 ? I cant found.

Is p flash and d flash needed when replacing ecu,? Or just eeprom

how do you intall main computer in 2008 sclass 550 mercedes

I am so excited to do this/ I get home and then watch again- that's when j fought you say 2000-2005. I have a 96 Mercedes s320. Will it still work

helle it can work on s350 mercedes benz 2003 vin is w220

I have a 2000 Mercedes S500, looks like I have 2 eeproms, well...two 8 leg chips same size. can you tell me which one to tackle?

from where do you know what chip to look for?

Does this work for W202 C280 1997?

Is this what you do to not have to change the ignition ?

Is there a way to rest counter?

Will this work in a W210 E55 ECU? I have 2 of them and want to swap the ECU to see if there is an issue with one ECU.

In your other video, you used the CARPROG to read and write the eeprom. Could you have used the same tool here to avoid removing the chip?

Thanks

Hello, good afternoon. I have the following problem. I am from Chile, Temuco region, in the south of Chile, and I have a Mercedes W203 C240 2.6 V6, year 2005. in this region it rains a lot and one day the car did not start anymore I started to check and I realized that the ecu does not work because I scanned it with a launch 431x and it does not recognize the ecu I took it out and sent it to check something that had a little of humidity the man who repaired it for me said that it is good now but it does the same thing as before I put in the key it recognizes the key the car turns 1 lap the usual lights turn on the 2nd lap it would be hard to hear the pump not being heard and the 3rd ignition turn does not do anything nor does the engine turn but the electro fan of the engine is heard at maximum. What can I do or what ecu can help me since I have the car thrown away

Will this fix the problem for a Cl500 ? One day I came out to start it up and nothing worked...the unlock or lock button didn’t work and the ignition wouldn’t budge so I order a new key fob from Benz and it still didn’t work the only thing that comes on are the dash to show the mileage and the temperature...any advice ? I’ll appreciate it

I would have done that with a soldering iron. Very nice work. Do you have any info on sprinter vans? I'm trying to do an ecu swap with a van with the same engine. i took the key the console and the key decoder behind the console plus ecu from a van with the same engine. Now i'm getting the start error message. Is there an eprom swap or a reprogram i need to do? I thought taking all of the above accessories across from the donor would be enough. Last thing is i have a tachograph on my vehicle which is why i am trying to swap ecu's i wish to remove the tacho. I'm stuck in limp mode after previously trying to remove the tacho. i guess as soon as you cut the permanent positive of the tachograph unit it looses it's handshake with the ecu. I'm now stuck in limp mode and the donor ecu doesn't work. Could you explain to me why you would need to swap the eprom if you have all of the above electronics from the donor vehicle? What is there left that wants to recognise the original eprom? or do you only do this when you don't have the new console and key transponder (IMMO / SKREEM) box The only other difference i can see is that my van has a KITAS speed sensor by the output shaft of the transmission soi need to go back to donor van and see if it has some sort of speed sensor and how it plugs into the ecu etc. the kitas sensor is for the tacho and first plugs into the back of the unit, then the tacho device sends can bus and 2 other signals out to the ecu / cluster. I'm pretty stuck here.

Where is this chip located on a 1999 mercedes e320 ECU is pretty similar to the one on the video

Good job

can you do this with the bosch me9.7? mines is on the w211

Nice job

i have a 2009 mercedes c350 with a bad PCM, I bought an used one and swap the EEPROM chip, now thw car wont crank or start, please any advise. thanks

The message I just sent it was on a 1993 500SEL Mercedes it was on the ECM unit that was bad can you repair

MY C32 AMG is very hard to come by. Is there any way for me to try this on C320 ECU just to see if the car starts?

I have an s500 ‘98 the ECU is not communicating with Reader Starts and drives it’s not shifting

Does anyone know if this would work for a 2004 Sprinter 2500?

You could do that so much quicker using solder paste

I had purchased a DTC coder from Rick he tells me my ECM is bad can you repair

how do I identify my chip for my w220 s430

The Dealer told me my car, 2004 ML350, can not be fixed. The AAM went out and is now obsolete. Does anyone know a work a round because these computer are specific to each car and you can not substitute used parts. Great body , tires, interior, I need help!?

Is this for the n51 board

Dear friend I have question about your Experience on 2008 Mercedes E350 W211 where the EEprom location please let me know thank you
