How to use Xhorse Multi Prog to Clone Chrysler WIN Ignition Module

How to Clone a Dodge Ignition Switch (WIN Module) using Xhorse Multi Prog step by step?

 

Replacing or cloning a Dodge ignition switch, also known as a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module, can be a cost-effective solution when the original module fails. In this article, we’ll walk through the process of cloning a Dodge WIN module using MultiProg, a tool designed for reading and writing microcontroller data. This guide will help you understand how to clone the module, ensuring that the vehicle’s VIN, key information, and other critical data are preserved.

 

 

Understanding the WIN Module

The WIN module is a critical component in Dodge vehicles, responsible for managing the ignition system and immobilizer functions. When the module fails, the vehicle may not start, and replacing it with a new one can be expensive. Cloning the original module allows you to transfer all the necessary data to a donor module, saving both time and money.

In this example, we’re working with a 2010 Dodge Journey. The original WIN module has a Renesas 70F processor, which stores the vehicle’s VIN, key information, and other immobilizer data. By cloning this data to a donor module, we can ensure that the vehicle recognizes the new module as if it were the original.

 

 

Tools and Equipment Required

To perform this procedure, you’ll need:

  • Xhorse Multi Prog: A tool for reading and writing microcontroller data.
  • MCU Adapter: Used to connect the WIN module to MultiProg.
  • Soldering Iron and Solder: For making connections to the WIN module’s processor.
  • Donor WIN Module: A replacement module with the same part number as the original.
  • Laptop: To run the MultiProg software and save the data.

Step 1: Preparing the Original WIN Module

  1. Open the Original Module: Carefully open the original WIN module to access the processor. In this case, the module had already failed, so it was safe to disassemble.
  2. Identify the Pinouts: Refer to the diagram provided by MultiProg to identify the correct pins for VCC, ground, RXD, and other connections.
  3. Solder the Connections: Scratch the contact points on the processor to ensure a good connection, then solder the wires from the MCU adapter to the appropriate pins. Start with VCC and ground, followed by the data pins (RXD, TXD, etc.).
  4. Connect to MultiProg: Once the connections are secure, connect the MCU adapter to MultiProg and your laptop.

Step 2: Reading Data from the Original Module

  1. Read the D Flash: Using Multi Prog, start by reading the D Flash memory. This contains the vehicle’s VIN and key information. Save this data as “original” for reference.
  2. Read the P Flash: Next, read the P Flash memory, which contains additional software and configuration data. Save this data as well.
  3. Verify the Data: Ensure that the data has been read successfully and that there are no errors or corruptions. This step is crucial to ensure a successful clone.

Step 3: Preparing the Donor WIN Module

  1. Open the Donor Module: Carefully open the donor WIN module to access its processor. Ensure that the part number matches the original module.
  2. Solder the Connections: Repeat the soldering process on the donor module, connecting the MCU adapter to the appropriate pins.
  3. Verify Connections: Before proceeding, double-check that all connections are secure and that there are no shorts.

Step 4: Writing Data to the Donor Module

  1. Write the D Flash: Using MultiProg, write the D Flash data from the original module to the donor module. This transfers the VIN and key information.
  2. Write the P Flash: Next, write the P Flash data to the donor module. This ensures that the software and configuration are identical to the original.
  3. Verify the Write: After writing the data, re-read the donor module’s memory to ensure that the data has been written correctly and matches the original.

Step 5: Finalizing the Clone

  1. Reassemble the Donor Module: Once the data has been successfully written, carefully reassemble the donor WIN module.
  2. Install the Donor Module: Install the cloned WIN module in the vehicle.
  3. Test the Vehicle: Start the vehicle to ensure that the new module is recognized and that the keys work correctly. The vehicle should start without any issues, and the immobilizer light should turn off.

 

Important Notes and Tips

  • Part Number Matching: Ensure that the donor WIN module has the same part number as the original. Using a mismatched module can cause compatibility issues.
  • Data Backup: Always save the original data before writing to the donor module. This allows you to compare the data and ensure that the clone is accurate.
  • Soldering Skills: Proper soldering is crucial for a successful clone. If you’re not confident in your soldering skills, consider seeking professional help.

 

By following the steps outlined above, you can successfully clone the module, preserving the vehicle’s VIN, key information, and immobilizer data. This approach is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new module, especially for older vehicles.

How to Solve VVDI MLB Tool MQB48 Adapter Failed to Collect Key Data?

Problem:

I just got the mqb48 adapter for the Xhorse VVDI MLB Tool and it is showing up this error. It is updated, both USB cables connected. 2 different laptops and still have the same problem. I replaced the eeprom that came with it.

Error
“The current power supply quality is critically power, making it impossible to collect valid data.

Solution:

Follow the images below to use USB directly from pc.

Voltage 5V, Current not exceeding 0.5A.

The MQB48 adapter can only be plugged into a computer or key tool plus via USB. PC is recommended.

VVDI BE Key Pro Mercedes W221 X166 KeylessGo Not Working Solution

Problem:

I’ve made keys for a few w221 s-classes and x166 gl, they all had original keys and keyless go function but the new keys don’t work with keyless go.
I’m using Xhorse VVDI BE Key Pro XNBZ01EN and programming with im508s.
Any solution to this?

 

Xhorse VVDI BE Key W221 KeylessGo Not Working

 

Solution:

The VVDI BE Key Pro (XNBZ01EN) keys work for starting but not for Keyless Go on W221 & X166.

The key you are using is not keyless go you need FBS3 keyless go just as this picture here.

After getting the smart box key it as procedure you need to write the file first before putting battery in smart key and the light in the key will flash for some mins change frequency to 314mhz.

For smart key/keyless go you must use this FBS3 smart key.

They have extra big coil on board to catch signals from around antennas and are 3..4x times more expensive as normal dash key.
