Silca ID48

[D-Power]

@D-Power  According to Matt @ Silca UK it is.

 

I rang him yesterday afternoon.

 

Yes, I wanted just clarify that there's no issues with automatic update (via M-BOX) but only that version 04.02.086 was made available earlier via SRS and some hours later with M-BOX.

 

 

The truth about the update via M-BOX is this one:  RW and Fastcopy devices can be updated by M-BOX only if the version of the firmware is uqual to or greather to version 04.00.083 (the 1st one with ID48 cloning support), if the version is lower (eg. 03.20.80 or less)  the only way to updated the device is using the SRS

Called out to a local farm that required a spare remote fob on a nightmare VW caddy 57 plate ,  OBD was a waste of time with all the big guns ,ad100p,spvag,avdi,and all parameters correct ,can chip ,powerpack,etc

Went back next day for 1 last OBD attempt and my new RW4+ &Mbox , 3 Wasted hours on OBD  grrrrrrr!!!!!    35 Minutes with SILCA Kit and Kdiy and i had a working spare remote fob for a happy customer and and Very HAPPY Autolockie,  Another bit of kit for all who do key programming /cloning needed  in the van . KL Mini will have its uses too, when i get some id48w chips.

Also had a nightmare job adding a remote to 2010 VW Transporter T5 Facelift

Remote went straight in under Auto Detect Remote on AD100Pro, but failed on Auto Detect Immobiliser, came back as "Dash Unrecognisable"

Spoke to Hickley's Tech support, unfortunately just one that can't be done.

Got out the RW4 and M-Box

First problem after pressing "copy" of original key, showed VW A1 and copy to P-BOX

After a quick check, noticed that the P-BOX was turned off, but didn't think it mattered as this was only for ID46 cloning.

Turned on the P-BOX, re-read the original key, now reads correctly, copy to M-BOX

Sniffed original 3 times OK.

Option to upgrade displayed, so waited about 5 minutes via my mobile for this to finish.

After an initial 6 minute wait time, quickly dropped to 3 minutes after a few seconds.

Wrote to chip, "Writing Error"

Read T48 in AD900, showed VW A1 logic but different from the original and also not shown as locked.

Had a useful chat with Lee at Silca who thought problem could be interference.

Went through everything that likely to interfere.

As a last resort I transferred the unit from the passenger seat of my Caddy where its always been into the rear of the van powered via the cigi lead into a jump pack, and started again.

Once it had read the key again, it showed that Job 3 was ready (again)

I used the same T48 chip, but this time it went straight through and showed success,

I opened up the remote, de-soldered the aerial off the circuitboard and glued the T48 in its place, and it started the engine OK.

Something, don't ask me what within the cab is creating interference, so if anyone else is having strange problems, try moving it to a different part of the van.

Many thanks to Lee for his time and help.

VOLVO V70 2005

Are you holding the chip in your fingers when reading or just laying the chip in it's red holder against the side ?.

 

I use an old ford FO21 case which we drop all the chips into when programming as we had similar problems with the GTI chips.

 

Most importantly make sure all power supplies are as far away as possible from the Machines as this is a well know issue.

 

 

Thanks for the advice Graham regarding the power supply, that's sorted the chip reading / programming, not had a problem since!

 

Still having problems with another 9C Beetle (won't sniff at all)

 

and had issues with a 2009 slot in dash key for a Passat, snoop was sniffing ok, but data wasn't right,  after 40 mins with a tetchy todder in the back I gave up.

[EST]

another VOLVO V70 and nothing (only first led).

I remove VOLVO from my list (maybe Silca have to do same)

[ponsaloti]

What the bloody hell is a techy todder .

Is it a northern dogger

[grahamparker]

Tetchy Toddler = Unhappy small child usually sobbing or crying in the back.

[ponsaloti]

No L

Is the server down at the moment?

Is the server down at the moment?

[eimco]

My two boxes are fine both working normally

[grahamparker]

Mines ok as well.

 

Could be your WiFi.

[coffin_dodger]

Ok thanks, will reset everything

[ponsaloti]

Any one had problems with the 48 sniffer ?

46 is fine.

Machine says verify snoop position.

Changed the battery. still no good.

[eimco]

Have no problems with the ID48 snoop , but have replaced both ours ID46 snoops,

Kept coming up verify position , changed battery and nothing changed hope it's not that problem your having.

Are you turning the key 3 times getting both lights on the final snoop ?. It's not 2 times like the ID46.

[Chris @ IKS]

There have been problems with the 'M Snoop' that comes with the ID48 package. We have had to replace several of our customers.

Contact your distributor or Silca UK direct and they'll send you a new one.

[ponsaloti]

The problem shows prior the going to the vehicle

[Chris @ IKS]

That's correct. When you get to the reset snoop instruction before going to the vehicle it will continually say 'reposition snoop' because it is not detecting the snoop.

We had to replace several snoops for customers and the replacement snoops have all worked fine.

[grahamparker]

You can reset the snoop in the options menu then start the procedure again. Make sure you start the vehicle with the original key, then read again then try it. If it still does not work then changing the snoop might be the only way. Personally I have not had 1 problem apart from only snooping twice on the first vehicle I did. We have successfully done over 40 keys now without any issues other than time delays in the decoding including a couple of s40 Volvo's.

[grahamparker]

Just to clarify that.

 

1. Reset the snoop in the rw4 options.

2. Start the car with the original key.

3. Read original key then try the snoop again.

 

I know this has worked as I gave this information to Andy Lewis at Aldridges when a couple of customers where having difficulties when the Id 48 kit first arrived.
