unfortunately i don't own a xprog3 so no clue

i am using autel programmer with XP400 pro tool. if you have the tool then from autel you find the software from their website

yes if done correctly using the correct tools

@@Zetartech1 I installed. Car started right up no prob. Appears the incorrect ECU as the shifter does not show correct gear with replacement ECM, but correct with original. Is there any other numbers that are inportant other then the sim2k numbers. Is there a way to cross reference part number on Hyundai/kia

@@ryanhell6028 it need to be the exact same part number. other wise it will not work correctly.

@@Zetartech1 just the sim2k-240. Or what other part number. Just wondering I can’t find any real good info on how to check part numbers

@@ryanhell6028 part number is usually printed on the lable of the ecu. the part number needs to match and the SIM2k-240 needs to match otherwise it will not work.

Autel website or amazon

Nope, the car will work and drive, but the windows and lights will not work or may not work in the correct order. I had a customer drive the car to my store with the module out of the car even.

google hexprog 2 and you should find th website.

Yes it is possible, in some places that is illegal.

Yeah but they don’t have a fix yet so they aren’t replacing them. At least not at my mini dealer they aren’t. It’s frustrating cuz I essentially have a car that I can’t drive because of this.

oh i see, glad to know !

I am in the same boat mine is also dead. @@alvingrace5457

So I got my frm fixed at ecu pros I intend to put in a claim with bmw but I did get some info they said to install it with the battery already connected to keep it from power spikes. Keeping that in mind it would make sense that if you need to replace the battery you should disconnect the frm first replace the battery then reconnect the frm. @@alvingrace5457

Also, it is VIN specific per the NHTSA. My car is affected (2010 S HT) and because my VIN isn’t in the select group, I am SOL. Sucks.

The name of the tool is "SmartOBD" .

@@Zetartech1what is the name of the program please ??

Hi, the original Engine Control Unit (ECU) was damaged by water. The customer had a mechanic verify the damage and brought it to me for cloning.

the name of the tool is "SMARTOBD tool"

alabama

i use AirBagCANServiceTool

@@Zetartech1 thank you for responding

@@Zetartech1 what version are you using

@@Zetartech1 thanks

What ends up happening most of the time is the battery drops in voltage, which corrupts the files in the module. The easiest way to check if the problem is corrupted files is to hook up a scan tool and see if there is communication with the module or not. If there is communication with the module, then the problem is something else.

Can it be fixed? Or replace is needed? If so how much does that cost approximately? I have a 2011 mini base hardtop, 59 k miles no accidents one owner. And all of the sudden no windows, direction lights, emergency lights, brakes light on, check engine light on, AC blowing just like fan (when I put the AC to the max I can hear a noise (normal noise but stronger on the front(assuming is the compressor working) when I tune it off the noise stops (it’s not a strong noise ) I’m scared of taking it to the Mecanic and be told to change things that are not related. Already changed the battery, starter and the problem persist

what do you mean by srs exactly ?

In mb softa cot vin in ecu and srs unit,but i mean clear the vin from old srs unit. @@Zetartech1

I mean,mb srs control unit have cided by vin,thats need to be vipe off,if like to use an other ecu.Wrong word from me,need to replace an original vin from ecu.@@Zetartech1

No problem, if you mean the cable attachement to the autel xp400 pro it comes with the tool and it is labeled APA109 and for the support you can download it directly from autel website or using this link download1.auteltech.net/Download/PCSuite/PCProgrammer/V2.80/Setup.exe .

@@Zetartech1 Thanks for the information.

@@Zetartech1 does it come with the firmware preinstalled in the machine when you purchase it? I'm being told it's a separate, yearly service you must pay for..

@@JohnProffer That is correct. There is the initial purchase price for the machine, and then annually you have to pay something like $350.

Thank you ! you can not you will have to use dealer software tools to reprogram the ECU to the car. those files from the orginal ecu contain info like VIN, keys, and ISN which is needed to start the car.
