THANKS
A backup of the Eeprom.Bin is valuable

Does it mean the PIN is stored in the EEPROM as raw bytes? No endoding such as ASCII or maybe XOR with some value? Where did you find the information about the offset at which the PIN is?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions Christian. It is completely understandable that you keep your article short and simple but in the same time this generates a lot of questions that any OBD/car beginner (like me) needs to know. A complete OBD tutorial is not needed but some photo or info of the OBD you used would have been nice. Now it indeed looks a bit like a MacGyver episode. By-the-way: The new tv-serie Scorpion is great too!

Hi!
I appreciate you are supporting my article and I really love your precise pointed questions.
Through your set questions in your reply I would say we can open several ways of answers which would be hard to manage through this kind of "chat" but we have several options.

For now, my mayor answer is:
In my articles, I'm trying to focus on the exactly problem like in this article, the extracting of the PIN code.
Why is this so?
Because if somebody deals with lets say with cars on this level, and he/she knows does a PIN code is needed, then they also have enough skill to go through a walk-through and finish the job.
Or even they can modify this article so it work's in their situation too.

There is another interesting article I wrote about the Immo system with some bonus info's here: "Lada 111 1.6L 16V 2005 year – Immo Off" (search for this title), but I don't like to replicate info's in my articles or even replicate the repair process just because the actual repair hob is for another type of tool but the repair process is the same as in my previous article.

Another way to answer to your question is:
We can write repair walk-through articles for repairing electronic/electric tools and maybe we should also write some sort of tutorials how some technologies are working.
And now we comes to the OBD question from your reply.
If the readers indeed and the owner of this site agree I can sometime write articles like tutorials of technologies. I mean, lets say, in this case some tutorial about the OBD standards, how they works in the real life, what tools to buy or use, how to identify problems etc. etc...
That would be a really big challenge to write and a honor to share my knowledge with the peoples over the globe.
But, keep on mind, all my writings will be as simple as it can be, without alien technology.
I can remember when I was a child, one of my favorite TV series MacGyver from 1985 or so. Maybe MacGayver was my subconscious leader and there fore I'm today solving problems in very "simple" way...
Beside my job where I deal with electronic revers engineering I'm a rescue diver too.
Under water in the dept I don't have much choice to get to the surface alive.
Just keep thinks simple as it can be. 🙂

So, if wee need here, and we have place here for tutorials for lets say OBD stuff, just give me green light.
