OPEL/Vauxhall? ECU Sec code?

**shadow2** · 29th October, 2009, 04:08 PM

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has used the TIS2000 and opcom to decode the sec code from the ecu?

You can use opcom on a Corsa-C, some say you can use it on most models but i personally havent tried it.

I need to know too, I have a Holden Astra H 2007, and opcom, i need the security code to make some changes.

I went this morning to the Holden stealer that i bought the car from to ask for the code (a car pass was not supplied even though i bought the car brand new!) the charged me $70 Australian for the code, I tried the code and it doesn't work, i went back and they said the car had a new ECU before i bought it (Brand new) and the code would have been changed then, they have no record of the new code and are unwilling to sort it out or refund my $70!!

So any help to find the code or decode the car would be very very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance Guys!!

Can you remove the cluster mate ... strip (carefully) read the M35080 eeprom ( 08ODOWQ ) ...And upload .....?

They are Jokers!!
To be fair to them, i have had the car for two years and had no probs with it but still! Its a shame a good brand like Opel is let down by putting a Holden badge on it!

Anyway, how would i read the eeprom? Im not worried about stripping the instruments, i can do that! Cheers Lads!!

You would have to Desoder it and get or borrow an eeprom reader Or find someone who can ... ( you have stripped one of these dashes..?) If not remember to unclip the Black plastic bit that holds the display in place then lift display out and let it dangle on the ribbon Before you try to split the faceplate from the PCB (otherwise you will tear the ribbon ..and be properly fcuked ....)

Never stripped an astra H but plenty of others. The eeprom reading bit sounds hard though!! there has got to be another way??
