My blinkers, courtesy lights, and windows currently do not work but my headlights stay on when my car is in the ignition stage. I need my headights to work at a minimum. I figure that if I save the current EEPROM, I can at least flash that back (at least until I receive my coding cable) if the new dump doesn't work well.
You are correct. Just select a close match dump from my archive and write it to your bricked frm3. Once you have your dcan cable you can find a correct flash file in winkfp and flash the module with your own vin again. Then recode to default with ncsexpert.
