Can you have your PCM reprogrammed with a new vin?
I am doing a A4-M6 swap... and Im gonna need a new PCM... but my LS1Edit is on my A4 PCM. Can I have the vin from car put in the M6 PCM so I can still use edit?
Thanks

Re: Can you have your PCM reprogrammed with a new vin?
If you can find a M6 file with the same block code as yours (search this forum for more info), you can simply program over the top of your PCM with the new one, and it will work.
If you change VINs in the PCM, you'll need your cable re-flashed by Carputing to mate with the 'new' PCM. So I'd suggest trying to find a matching M6 code. I have a few, and there are some at http://www.ls1edit.com in the FTP archives, so post up with your ID and maybe someone here can help.
HTH,

C:\Program Files\Ls1_edit\FlashFiles\VETable2.LS1
Pontiac Broadcast Code ID = DANW
Year = 2000
Engine = LS1 5.7 Liter
Vin = 2G2FV22G1Y2131521
Segment 1 = 9381344
Segment 2 = 9357638
Segment 3 = 9358057
Segment 4 = 16264189
Segment 5 = 16264348
Segment 6 = 16264535
Segment 7 = 16264751
Segment 8 = 9359148
Transmission = 4L60E
4WD = False
TCC Lock during SHift = 1
This is the info i found when I loaded up my edit file... where is the block code?
