Hello All,

Soon I am going to install a used replacement SMEG unit. I understand that the VIN needs to be changed because of anti theft lock.
I have diagbox and a Lexia (clone) or passthru device.

Can I remove the VIN lock or do I need something special?

I also ready something about being able to do it with an Arduino which I have. I am looking for the simplest solution.

hi, SMEG only need to change VIN, any tool can do, autel, diagbox, launch etc

I have replaced the standard SMEG unit from a Peugeot 208 with a SMEG IV2 unit. 
Part number of new unit is 9815355380 and comes from a Citroën C3

I tried removing the VIN lock with cracked diagbox and with Original Diagbox. Both result with programming failed.

what am I doing wrong?

try with diagbox 7.34 version - smeg programming is avaliable offline

yes I was doing it online. However right now it looks like that the unit needs to be calibrated first before being able to remove the lock. As it is configured for a Citroën, the server does not accept it until it is configured correctly.

Hmm could try it. However I purchased a token so rather use that one, otherwise waste of money. 

I need to figure out the calibration situation of the unit

[crazyrs6]

can someone confirm the following theory if it would work:


I found a VIN number of a 208 with SMEG IV2. Can I purchase a token to enter it in diagbox and download the calibration in this way? When it is succesfull, change the VIN to the correct car. 

Does this work?

This will not work as diagbox read sw ref also from device and if mischatch device and server over vin will not allow you to download...
