    The algo will not be stored anywhere in the bin file or the cpu. It is just a number put there by the manufacturer, but you need the algo to find out what number they put there.

    I guess I don't full understand. So the Bin will have a number, the number is sent to the software which calculates a response based on the algorithm, and then sends it back to the ecu to gain access? Can't I get that seed number off of a stock unlocked ECU if I know the hex offset and transfer that to my locked ecu?

    So in the BIN are a matched set seed&key. The software calculates a key from the seed, which matches the key in the bIN? If I grab a ecu from picknpull for 25 bucks I should be able to get a matching pair from reading the BIN?

    Still wondering if this is possible. Can someone shoot me a PM with a valid seed/key combo for a GM v8?

    I can put in a fail safe, but I think EFILive doesn't like it. If I remember correctly HPT doesn't mind. If I put this pair in then you will be able to read and write and all should be happy.
