2014 Fiat 500 1.2 Body control unit Swap?

[demotep3]

Hello,
I have a customer enquiring about swapping a body control unit on a 2014 500 1.2 petrol due to a fault where the headlights are intermittently turning on and off on their own (not the auto light sensor).
Is it possible to use 2nd hand and if so what's the best way (don't want to do a full lockset).
Or is new only possible.

there's mcu nec + eeprom and nec only version
you need to copy memory on second hand ecu

Thank-you, is it possible to read without removing NEC and i take what you mean is read NEC from old and write to new?
Cheers

What tools do you have, for reading it? Solder the wires and read it... as i remember, you need to unsolder a mcu pin or a 000 resistor before reading

I have VVDI prog, Orange 5 for readers, i also have Zedfull, Avdi, Autel IM608 but may need to buy adapters if possible with them.
Cheers

Can be read with some wires, dirrectly on the board. No need for addapters. Just find the pinout, solder the rainbow cable wires and power your Orange 5(might need nec addapter for it... i don't have the tool, i read NEC mcus with UPA) with external power source. If it is a 70F6xx mcu, it will read it
