Why is the PSA MD1CS003 MCU ID Missing in Foxflash

Image
  Question: I have a Peugeot Bosch MD1CS003 ECU. It’s a nonencrypted ecu. I can read and write. ECU year is 2019. Reading works well with foxflash , but I don’t get the Mcu Id. I want to do immo off. Any suggestions on how to get the MCU ID or how to do immo off? Solution: Immo off is on the flash, not eeprom! immo off is done on the intflash and you need MCU ID. Unfortunately, foxflash cannot read MCU ID. You need a better tool for the ECU ID, flex , autotuner , kess3 , AMT BST etc. They will give you MCU ID.
