audi chorus - concert: how to recover password

what you need:

motorola cracker :


for serial connection I used cp2102 based adapter from ebay, it has wired RTS signal:






Software part is motorola cracker version 6.x (7 didn't work!!!). It has support for com port from 1 to 4, so change this in advance settings for your usb2UART adapter, then just boot MCU and read eeprom, here is a actual eeprom dump, with code 1790, you can see its on 3 places:


number in eeprom, directly after code (from my observation) can be:

06 - SAFE2 mode, you need to wait 1hour(info from here) to be able to enter pin
08 - SAFE1 mode, you can enter pin code to unlock
A0 - no code required

locked for 1 hour

no code required

standard SAFE mode

UPDATE: I have Motorola MCU with fixed volume problem, so I dump eeprom of this MCU as it has fixed problem, it didn't store volume value in eeprom and so this dump is "clean" of garbage. I try to load this dump to one of affected MCU, just to test how long it take to have volume issue back. For now it's looks ok.

EDIT: it didn't fix it radio volume is garbage at low temperatures, of corse. But I have to try :)

any data are on my github including eeprom dumps.

UPDATE: based on this blogpost: http://www.realitytech.co.uk/rich/?p=192

I try it, it's works kind of. communication was really unstable, but it works for reading eeprom directly after booting CPU, or write simple byte of data, in my case It take 3times to boot CPU and each time write simple byte (0xA0) on positions 3,33 and 63, to disable code protection.

!!1important note!!!  you must connect only 12V and ground on main connector of radio. In my first attempts I have illumination connected to 12V and this makes pin 22 go Low so my additional pull-up did not work.

here are some pictures:

RESET LINE (18)
RX/TX/+12V/pullups on 22,9,11


only 12V and ground is connected in main connector of radio
RX,TX,RTS and ground on UART2USB



openbox x-810 won't boot

another bad caps story with PSU, this time openbox x-810, won't boot, stoped with double dot ":" on display. Measuring on 3.3V rail showed 2V with load. Changing 1000uf and 470uf caps on this rail fix problem, just to be on safe side, I changed all caps on secondary side of psu.

audi FIS 3-line protocol update

   Finaly got time to grab on working configuration, so now I know how cluster tell radio its there and have 2nd display capability.

   Each 5s cluster make 3ms 5V pulse on enable line. after while radio respond with update.

cluster enable signal delay/timing

cluster enable signal

SOYO-BT24G03 kicad lib and module

finaly I have time to make package module for kicad of SOYO bluetooth module SOYO-BT24G03:

lib files:
SOYO-BT24G03.dcm SOYO-BT24G03.lib

and module:
SOYO-BT24G03.kicad_mod

also one new smt jack PJ320B (stereo, 3.5mm) I found in my pile of scrap parts:

new kicad libraries and modules

on project of bluetooth support for old vw group head units I have to try more bt modules, so I made kicad files needed to make breadbord adapter , SOYO-BT24G03 is in queue also...

MB-CM15113.kicad_mod - old module which has no uart, I made Fritzing file for this module, I try this module one more time
(library files: MB-CM15113.lib, MB-CM15113.dcm)

BLK-MD-SPK-B.kicad_mod - module mentioned on this blog, no call posible with this module or I'm lame :)
(library files: BLK-MD-SPK-B.lib, BLK-MD-SPK-B.dcm)

XS3868.kicad_mod - new module I will try, breadbord adapter files here
(library files: XS3860.dcm, XS3860.lib


am1d.kicad_mod - DC - DC convertor 5V->+-12V i have planes to use it for galvanic insulation audio part for low noise in amlifier, which is realy needed....
(library files: aimtec.dcm, aimtec.lib)

also I made some kicad modules for 3.5mm jack from ebay ....
