I have tried to find an option for changing the avatar. I have apparently missed the solution. I have found the "top-right corner drop-down-->profile-->cover photo" But how to change the avatar? Please help! Thank you. Patryk

Hi Folks! An update on my solution of how to boot-up the ECU for AEE engine. I might have been wrong regarding the black immo box, so please read on about how to set it up: The operational setup of immo set contains: - the key chip [1], - the immo box [2], - the Engine Control Unit (ECU) [3], and all three of them could not be swapped for a replacement from a different car. I have four of such kits and no interchangibility has worked. It has turned out that the immo black-box is also closely related to the other two devices. The black-box is not just "a physical layer of communication" thing as I had thought. I have needed all three devices paired together with each other in order for this to work (run the engine). SUMMARY. In all four sets that I have tested, all three devices need to match each other. Unless some hacking-magic is done, no piece of the three can be replaced from a different car. References: [1] key chip: PCF7931, looks like: https://www.google.com/search?&q=pcf7931 [2] immo black box by siemens, code: 5wk4678, looks like: https://www.google.com/search?&q=5wk4+678 [3] ECU, looks like: https://www.google.com/search?&q=skoda+felicia+aee+ecu

please, refrain from prejudging your fellows at the forum - you really don't know people's background. please throw anything you got at me regarding the subject - we want a meaningful discussion. in the worst case, the changes are required on ECU end, not the immo box. the black immo box handles the physical layer of the communication with the RFID tag and exposes the immo-PIN to the ECU. but there may be a simplier way too: so in fact, there are two approaches: 1) simplier may be obtaining the PIN number via the OBD interface, and since AEE engine is made by VW, the VAG-COM software may (or may not 😉) be appropriate; example: 2) more complicated, but yielding a cleaner result would be to bypass the check in the ECU. I'm looking forward to some public or private communication, if you have anything to add to the subject. I have got 1998-April ECU box for MPI petrol engine AEE. I am looking forward to your message, wise men! I promise to announce the success once it arrives. SAFETY / SECURITY: these technologies are almost 2 decades old and are nearly disused nowadays; there seems little chance anyone could use them to do harm - right?

Hi Everybody, I would like to join you with a sincere intention to share my knowledge (empirically obtained) about Skoda Felicia. I would like to learn a few new things too, because there is a lot of hints-and-tricks that I am not aware of. I like discussions and will happily share some thoughts. I have three Skoda Felicias: - Pickup 1.9 (AEF), - Kombi 1.6 (AEE) - Hatchback 1.6 (AEE). They require quite a lot of work to get them to prime technical condition, but I put a lot of efforts in it. For the last 10 years I have learned quite a lot about those engines (esp. 1.6 - AEE), maintenance and repairs. I hope I can be of help to those who need to repair those units. All the best in the approaching year of 2020. - Patryk

Dear All, Dear mannyo, There was a message: "You can bypass the immobiliser on the Felicia (...) If anyone would like to help here, then please PM the guide to the members in this thread" - and so, please, help! I have three Skoda Felicias, they are my spare-time time-eaters :) I love them. Would like to restore them to the prime technical condition. One of them has an engine bought from car-scrap-yard, and the ECU cuts off a second after it starts. This is immo-related, because if I swap ECU and the key, it starts fine. How to disable immo in this ECU that won't start?
