    Default Mercedes w169 722.8 TCM replacement

    Hi there folks ,

    I bought a used 722.8 tcm w169 from the scrape yard (to play with it ) and i've connected my avdi on the table to see what i can do and what i can't .

    So i need your wisdom ! How can i make this tcm virgin ?
    I'm clicking the VIRGIN button on my avdi but nothing happens hehe ,,,, and i've seen people sendind on of these units PLUG n PLAY !!
    Does anybody know what's happening with these?? I've never experimented with one of these (only with 722.9)

    Thanks in advance
