Tested tested and functional but, but, but ...
But I will explain this in detail tomorrow I have a lot of work to do ...
I have been cloning Convers + firmware for about a year, but using a UCDS cable.
This is because of the software purchased where this type of connection is primarily selected. By a small modification I could copy this software for free into multiple convers+.
But it also has its shortcomings, which both bother someone and not someone.
I tested it for a long time and came to concrete things.
The Motral software is protected by the VIN number and serial number of the instrument panel and also by a time trigger.

** To change the serial number, it is necessary to change the serial number of the unit in eeprom. It goes well ...
*** And to change the VIN number:
- if I update the IPC in my car, ie the car to which the VIN is tied, there is no need to change anything.
- if I update the IPC in another car, it is necessary to change the Vin number in Bcm in order for the purchased software to load at all and continue.
What is achieved by changing Vin numbers?
So there it is:
With a permanent Vin change, there are several errors in the diagnosis, written as DTCs.
These are just "U" errors that don't matter.
However, the user has full support of all functions as in the purchased software.
If Vin changes back to the original, the following will not work:
- Display of battery voltage and coolant temperature.
- Visual display of parking sensors on Convers +.
All other things in the modified software will work and these are:
- Translation of a language mutation (East of Paradise)
- Display digital speed
- Show black theme (before facelift)
- Display PTC heating, duplicate even Webasto, if it was purchased.
- Turn off the door opening message
- Full view of the light package (resolution of lights on, beam including fog lights and turn signals)
So far, I have done all this through UCDS, but to make it easier and to access other software I didn't have, I needed an IPC uploader ...
For me it's software that has the title of software of the year !!!
Everything is now possible.
However, the author is probably afraid and does not continue. I wrote him a pity!
But it does not matter, thanks to this great forum, things have moved forward ...
If I could program, I would also remove the protection, unfortunately it is not possible and so it is at least partially functional.
P.S:
I use Convers, which is after the facelift in the car before the facelift, so in the year 2007. And so the clone works reliably and does not illuminate the airbag.
So the modified software is functional also on another bus HS can ...
Tomorrow I give if I pursue a specific procedure ...
Serial is just the loaders protection if you have a switch on the canbus wire switch off start the mod soon as it starts switch back on that bypasses the serial check you can bypass the vin this way also but as same as you say when fitted to a car with different vin from the mod it will either boot loop or none of the conversmod features will be there
