G20 mgu H component protection removal, latest info? - Tportsmouth - 21-05-2023
Can anyone update me on the latest process, for removing component protection on a G20 mgu Harmon kardon?
I've bought a stolen recovered car and have managed to code all the replacement modules, but the MGU says component protection, theft proofing protection mode in error.
I've seen this thread....

But unsure if it applies to mine, it's also missing crucial info, of virgin HU or not ??
Many thanks for your time

AOS ISTA can manage this in most circumstances. Do you know the history of the replacement MGU?

I do know, it was from ultimate salvage in Northampton, so I can get the vin or any other details required.

...knowing the VIN isnt enough, because it isnt possible to order the component protection FSC like FSC fof map update.

Do you know, what is enough for them ? As I'll be able to get any information.... Or will they just refuse any used head unit?
Can people change the vin in a replacement HU, before CP is activated, this getting around it that way ? As I could buy another HU for pennies.

they check serial number of Headunit
RE: G20 mgu H component protection removal, latest info? - Tportsmouth - 22-05-2023
They check the serial against the vin ? Or check to see if it's stolen ?

They check the serial number against the VIN of the car. What that brings I am unsure. Are you in Portsmouth? Or is that just a coincidental name? If yes I’m only in Gosport so I’m sure we could manage this.

You have to ask them for 1AA FSC for the DONOR HU, they will IRAP to check it.
1AA comes automatically in FSC repair kit if there is BDC replacement order.

If you use the donor FSC, then I'm guessing you don't virgin the HU ? Or is that incorrect ?
