**wiggi28** · 26th February 2006

no because it contains the immobiliser data too

KiDDan, it is still 'possible' to retrieve your data from the eeprom by either grinding or etching away the epoxy that forms the body of the e2p until you uncover the base of the e2p leg that the bonding wire is attached to (this leads to the wafer that is the guts of the eeprom). Its a time consuming job that may not give any results at the end of the day. You need to find an electronics guy near you who can do the job. If this fails let em know and I'll send you a PM with your next course of action.

The old chip was dead, so i have got me a empty chip from elfa
http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?dok=3998.htm

And will solder that one to the dash.
And take the car to audi, and they will program the chip for me there.
