The purpose of this page is to provide documentation for the automotive locksmith who uses an Andromeda Research Locksmith Kit, the AR32A or BlueChip Pro. There are two sections; the locksmith librarian and microcontroller connection procedures. As most users are aware, the AR system supports in-circuit reading and programming of nearly all 8 pin eeprom based modules. What is not know is the support for microcontroller based immobilizers and ECUs. This documentation provides that information. Each microcontroller based immobilizer or ECU is illustrated with a series of annotated photos (see below) which show how
to connect the system to the target module processor and then which steps to perform to read the eeprom data and save the file. As is standard with an AR package, all parts are supported in-circuit (no unsoldering of 52 or 64 pin parts) with connections made using the proper probe set. Each documentation set is a single zip file which contains the procedure photos. All files can be downloaded, unzipped and viewed or saved on a local machine for reference. (Procedures are here)
EEPROM BACK DOORS AND MORE - A back door is a set of connections on the circuit assembly which allow you to read/program a "difficult to access" eeprom part without physically connecting to the part pins. This area of the documentation page also contains information for connecting to modules (TOYOTA SEQUOIA) using the STANDARD PROBE SET. (BACK DOORS AND MORE are here)
