Well, it kinda worked and enabled smartlink but a moment later the component protection kicked in and disabled it. Any idea how to disable the component protection in a reasonable way?

The clamp won't read it otherwise - trust me, I tried

I had MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P7381L with MU 8740. I updated to a newer version MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0080L with MU8755 before i tried with eeprom. Do you think it affected the process? Should i do a factor reset on a radio to restore previous version, then dump eeprom and patch it?

I desoldered the chip, patched with python script and wrote to the chip, then soldered it back but the radio wouldn't turn on. I went back to the original .bin and now it works. I don't know if I'm supposed to try once more as soldering and desoldering is quite a nuisance.

Hello, any idea how to remove the radio from the car? I tried with removal keys on the bottom and plastic cards on top as in the picture below. Still doesn't want to come out - any solutions?
