Reading EDC17/MED17 PIN/CS in "direct mode"

VAG Interface Classic Keys / Immo Medium ⏱ 20-40 min 5 steps

The "Read EDC17/MED17 PIN/CS in direct mode" function is used solely to read the PIN and CS of EDC17/MED17 ECUs, including 2012-on units with updated software that cannot be read normally over OBDII. The ECU is not read through the OBDII port: a direct connection to the ECU is required, either on the bench or in the car.

Required licences

Hardware / cables

  • AVDI
  • alimentatore 12V da banco

Procedure

  2. On the bench: connect only 12V, GND, ignition, CAN-H and CAN-L to the ECU.
  3. In the car: locate the CAN-H (orange-black) and CAN-L (orange-brown) wires and connect them to the AVDI.
  4. Make sure you have an active internet connection.
  5. Start the "Read EDC17/MED17 PIN/CS in direct mode" special function and wait for the PIN and CS to be read.
