TCB Replaced with second hand, need to code vin..
Hello guys!
My TCB unit was fried due to water ingress from the shark fin.. bought a second hand and as I understand it’s possible to recode the VIN in that unit to match with my car. Searched the web for quite a while but my question remain.. How do I re-code the VIN of a module? What programs do I need? Would be amazing if anyone could guide me in the right direction. Best regards Pontus |

If you want to code the vin use esys to code it. But the TCB online service wont function since the internal sim is registered to original car. You can use emulator.

Hey,
Do you have a link to some instructions/video guide on how to both use E-sys and that (what) emulator in order to change VIN? Been looking for quite some time but unable to find good step by step on how to do what I want. |

The new sim needs to be programmed by the dealership. The vin is easy with protool. But online services won't work till the sim is programmed by the dealership. I bought one and everything was fine until my connected services stopped working. Then I put the old one back in until I can get to the dealership.
I never used a emulator(never heard of it) but I would be interested in how it works. |

Ah ok, I understand. The only thing I don’t follow 100% is if the dealer can program the second hand module to activate the sim or if the second hand module will always be dead in terms of online service? Buying a new module is 15k Swedish (roughly 1.5k euro) so trying to avoid that… Thank you for support! |
