Vag Eeprom Programmer Immo Off
Hollis Chy
Topdon X-PROG 3 is a capable automotive immobilizer and key programmer. This programming tool allows you to read/write car key chip data, generate special keys, and more. The X-PROG 3 features a broad coverage. It's an ideal tool for locksmiths who need to work on various car models without outsourcing.
Sometimes when working with immobilizer EEPROMs, the ideal way of programming the EEPROM is by doing it while it is in the circuit, as removing it, programming, and resoldering it back to the circuit adds a bit more effort and time to complete the job.
For this, we can try the common solution of disabling the crystal oscillator of the MCU to prevent it from running, or at least attempt to prevent it, as this does not work in all cases. It is accomplished by simply jumping the crystal oscillator by running either a relatively large capacitor, in this example a 0.1uf capacitor, or a small jumper wire across the crystal (in parallel to it). In the picture below, it is shown how a 0.1uf capacitor was temporarily soldered across the crystal terminals to disable it.
There are online stores that sell some of the equipment used for this job. For example, you may get the SOIC-8 SMD clip complete with its harness and ready to use from stores over the Internet, on eBay for example.
On a final note, please be always careful when working with static sensitive electronics. Always use an ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection to avoid unrepairable damage to the circuits and/or devices, especially if you live in cold-dry weather.
Hi
When i open my car speedometer i didnt see 93c56 chip, i can only see a chip with c56 d910 writing on it
If you interested in this car chip i can send you the picture
Please tell me how do i read and write data to this chip
Thanks
Hello Calvin. When that happens, the solutions are two; take out the chip (desolder) and grab it with the clip, or use 8 wires with micro-pincers at one end and a DIL-9 terminal at the other. The solution is here in the blog, but looks like images are not showing for some reason after an update of the software. We are working to have the website back to normal, so you may visit us at a later time to see if the contents is restored.
On the other hand, if the chip is not full, a maximum of 8 keys or so are allowed depending on the model, there is a process for registering new keys. It is there for the Rav4 and Corolla and I am positive it is there for the Sienna, but I will need to look it up to check the process. In the mentioned models it is about a sequence of depressing the accelerator and the brake pedals in a certain pattern and timing.
I would have to check because on some models, it is only for storing the key codes and keeping a key count, and other things for managing the immobilizer. But in some other models, if it is an automatic vehicle, it does the same in the upper half of the memory and in the lower half, it stores the automatic transmission codes for the shift points.

Hope you know how to make lemonade.
One say that I must get a Virgin File from somewhere and upload it to the eeprom and another say that I must reset the reset the eeprom to a virgin state by zeroie the values of certain data in the eeprom.
I can not promise anything, but if you can read the eeprom of your ECM and email to in...@TechnicalDomain.net, I can check by comparison if I have the proper virgin file for that model. If I have it, I will email it to you at no cost. You would need to write it in the eeprom (IC900) with an eeprom programmer, using some sort of interface to connect the small device to the eeprom programmer. The most commonly used is the SOIC-8 eeprom clip.
