Touchclone™ VAG Group ID48 Pre-Coding Touchclone™ VAG Group ID48 Pre-Coding There are three types of immobilisers on VAG cars that use three distinct types of ID48 transponders: 1. ID48 2. ID48 CAN (Audi/Seat/Skoda/VW) 3. ID48 CAN (Audi/Seat/Skoda/VW) Precoded The ID48 precoding section of TouchClone allows you to program the latest type (type 3) to the customer’s vehicle by writing vehicle specific data to the transponder.

In the screen above choose whether you have extracted 6 or 7 bytes from the vehicle, once an option is selected the boxes below become available. Type the extracted bytes in order into the boxes and select the manufacturer of the vehicle. If the bytes have been extracted using the Advanced Diagnostics OBD equipment then check the option, if not leave unchecked.
Page 22
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader First, select the 6 bytes option and in the fields below type in the extracted data. Then select manufacturer and check or uncheck the source button depending on whether you used AD equipment. Then, insert an ID48 Magic II CAN transponder (of the correct manufacturer type) into the provided transponder bucket and press next so Touchclone can then write out the extracted data and the 7...
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader (Please note this section is for advanced users only and 1st Call Lockouts Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage or corruption that may occur through misuse) This function allows the user to take on a more advanced approach when reading an Eeprom. We provide the user with a set of parameters which they can alter to get an Eeprom to read in or out of circuit.
Page 24
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader When it comes to Eeprom work we know (from electrical datasheets) how to read a specific Eeprom type, • however due to other components on an immobiliser board many more design factors will affect a successful data read. Getting Started When using Touchclone first of all we will need to clip onto the Eeprom correctly.
Page 25
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader Power up Delay This is the time period after the immobiliser box is powered up before reading commences. Measured in milliseconds, generally speaking the larger capacitors and more components on the board, the larger this value should be (As you have to wait for the capacitors to have sufficient chargeto create a stable voltage across the circuit).
Page 26
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader Ok the theory is all well and good but let’s work our way through a real example. The following is an example of how the Touchclone developers have managed to work out custom read methods for lots of different vehicles in circuit.
Page 27
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader Default method data When reading an Eeprom in circuit using the default read method you should check the data to make sure it contains all the relevant data needed to be identified as a working module with TouchClone. At first glance, the data read from the Eeprom would seem to look valid, but upon closer inspection you can see that the data is copied in a 2 byte sequence.
Page 28
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader Let’s analyse the results further... Let us now create your own custom read method Consecutive byte read Up to address 40 hex data is visibly changing but after that we are getting “FF” bytes. We now need to determine whether the “FF”...
Page 29
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader Organisation The reason for the duplication of data is because the read commands for 8bit and 16bit organisations are different. The eeprom organisation is set by the circuit itself and if the option here is incorrect, each two consecutive bytes in the data will duplicate.
Page 30
Touchclone™ EEPROM Reader The data in comparison has vastly changed, there are no more duplications and we have eradicated the large amount of “FF” bytes. Now, click the “next” button on the Touchclone application to see if it can be recognised as a supported vehicle module by TouchClone.
