Re: coding ducato

You code injectors to cylinders (1,2,3,4) and not by firing order.

Re: No vin or year?

Don't forget todo the Engine ECU Oil Change Reset if you have a DPF fitted. This is separate / additional to the normal Service Reset.

Re: Custom proxy Alfa Romeo 159 and 5 digits code

Generally you only need the 5 digit security code when:

1) Key / Remote Programming
2) Alarm changes - e.g. country, how lights flash, etc.

Re: No vin or year?

So a Ducato 2014+

Probably a 290 or 295. Can't be sure.

Did you check the Vehicles Supported List I advised you to do. MES support the 290 versions so select Ducato 290 and your engine and see where you get with a Scan and actually trying to connect to once of the vehicles ECUs/Nodes.

Re: No vin or year?

VIN reading is not supported on all vehicles. Only later ones. If you have your VIN code then the first 3 digits tell you what your model is. See: https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Fiat/DUCATO You can then work from there by using the Vehicles Supported List here on MES site or you can select your Duca...

Unfortunately that is what I thought, it seems a bit poor that my Alfa Stelvio has it fitted for everyone to see and yet the 500X has no option at all for a home DIYer!!
Not sure I understand what you are saying? Please expand.

Re: 500x sgw brake service

If you have an SGW then basically ALL write/command modes are filtered out / blocked. However you can manually release the parking brake and then disconnect the battery to ensure it can not be engaged again.

Re: Re install

Is the Hardware Key actually the same? Did you note it down when you installed MES originally?

Whilst MES mentions "Hardware Key" this may be affected by OS removals/installs.

Suggest you contact MES Support your license key, current harware key and any purchare proof you have.

Re: Where from and how to : MultiEcuScan read mileage

Re: Where from and how to : MultiEcuScan read mileage

The only mileage of significance is that from the Instrument Cluster Odometer. This is the one unit which has to be legally compliant / homologated etc. Other units like engine ECU, ABS also have mileage figures but as has been shown / commented on in the past these figures may not match the vehicle...
