VIN LOCATION - EDC15C7. FLASH OR EEPROM?

[Ianh99]

Hi,
Ecu 0281010345 EDC15C7
Citroen Relay 2 (2006)
Can anyone give me the location of the VIN please?
Is it in the flash or the eeprom?
Thanks.

If i had to bet... i would on eeprom, yes.

Thanks morgano. That's where I would have expected it, but can't see it. I've also gone right through the flash (and it's a big one).
It might be the case that the vin is not recorded in this ecu?

hmmm more likely is not in plain text but cihpered some way. But i can't 100% confirm the ecu has the actual VIN registered inside.

Can you tell why you are looking for vin in edc15

Yes of course. Purely out of interest kiszka.
I have been looking at a Citroen Relay2 for a neighbour. Long-time abandoned with an immobiliser issue, so no pressure on me to resolve quickly. Starting point - working key, but no IMMO code.
Retrieved the bin file from immo box (corrupted). Programmed immo box with new bin file (and known code). Programmed a blank ID48 to match.
Obtained virgin ECU bin file (95P08) and auto-coded immobox to this.
Vehicle now starts fine.
In the process, I have gained a fair bit of knowledge on PIN encryption, for different ECU's.
Just curious to see if I could decypher the VIN code, but can't seem to see anything which might translate in either file.
I'm doing it manually, so I might have missed it - or as morgano says, it may not be there to see anyway!

It's purely out of curiosity, give me some proof that the vin in this ecu exists

[Ianh99]

That's what I'm trying to find out kiszka. I assumed the VIN appeared somewhere in all engine ECU's but perhaps not. I thought someone might have chimed in and told me definitively that the VIN is not present in this particular ECU - in which case I'll stop looking!
Since Lexia always requires a manual input of the VIN - I suspect that it isn't there anyway.
