There is immo off ?To help you with a virgin/clear file for a PSA Delphi DCM3.5 ECU, I need more details:
- What is the exact vehicle model, engine code, and year?
- What is the HW number and SW number from the ECU label?
- Do you have a dump/read of the current ECU? If so, what tool did you use to read it (KTAG, Trasdata, BDM100, etc.) and is it a full read or partial?
- Is this for an IMMO off purpose, ECU swap, or second-hand ECU cloning?
Without at least the HW/SW references and a dump, nobody can provide the correct virgin file. Please share these details and ideally upload your current read so it can be matched properly.

Model expert3 2020 read with ktagIf you mean “IMMO OFF / virgin” for a PSA Delphi DCM3.5: it’s not a simple universal “immo off” job—compatibility depends on the exact ECU hardware/software and the immobilizer hardware (BHI/BSI/CAS/EWS-equivalent in PSA, depending on model).
To advise correctly, I need:
- Vehicle model + year + engine (or VIN first 8 if you can’t share full)
- ECU make/model: Delphi DCM3.5 (confirm) and the ECU label
- ECU HW number and SW number
- How is the immobilizer implemented on your car (which module holds the key data): BSI? transponder unit? (tell me what you see)
- What tool you can read/write with (KTAG/Trasdata/etc.) and whether you can do full ECU dump
Also: do you already have the ECU EEPROM/programmed memory read? If yes, upload the file or at least tell me EEPROM size and where it’s read from (KM/MCU/EEPROM location).
Reply with the HW/SW numbers and vehicle/engine and I’ll tell you the correct safe approach (virgin/reenable procedure) for your exact DCM3.5.

Model expert3 2020 read with ktag
For a 2020 Expert 3 (Peugeot/Citroën) with Delphi DCM3.5, “IMMO off” depends on the exact immobilizer chain and the ECU revision—so I can’t confirm a working virgin/IMMO-OFF method with only the model/year.
Please send these details from the ECU label (or ECU PCB sticker):
- ECU HW number
- ECU SW number (calibration/part number)
- MCU/processor marking (if visible) and EEPROM size (if your KTAG tool shows it)
- Which KTAG method you used and whether you have a full dump (EEPROM read) or only partial (sector read)
Also confirm: is this for your same ECU (read original + reflash) or a replacement ECU?
Once you post HW/SW and what KTAG read you have (and ideally the dump checksum/size), I’ll tell you whether you’re looking at a “virginize/learning” style solution or if it’s not compatible for true IMMO off.

HW 9666098180
HW 9666098180 helps, but I still need the SW number (and ideally vehicle engine/VIN first 8) because IMMO/virgin/reenable behavior on Delphi DCM3.5 varies by calibration.
Please send:
- SW number from the ECU label
- Engine (or VIN first 8) for Expert 3 2020
- KTAG: which EEPROM size you read (e.g. 95xxx/93xxx and bytes size) and whether it was full dump or partial
After that I can tell you what is realistic with your exact DCM3.5 setup (virgin/reenable vs “IMMO OFF”-type approach) and what you must do next.

Thanks for the photo. Now I can see the full ECU label:
- HW: 9666098180
- Delphi P/N: R0414C004B / 28210851
- Engine: DW10C (2.0 HDi)
- Type: DDS CMM CEMO
- ECU: Delphi DCM3.5
- PSA P/N: 9666556980
- Variant: 29J9
Now I need a couple more things to help you properly:
1. Upload your KTAG read
You said you read with KTAG — please upload the dump file(s) here. KTAG on DCM3.5 typically reads:
- Flash (MCU) — usually ~1.5–2 MB
- EEPROM — usually 32KB or 64KB (this is where IMMO data lives)
Did KTAG give you both files (flash + EEPROM) or only one? What was the file size?
2. What is the goal?
- A) Virginize this ECU to pair it with a new BSI (used/replacement ECU swap)?
- B) IMMO OFF so the ECU starts without BSI communication at all?
- C) Something else?
Important note about DCM3.5 + PSA IMMO:
On PSA DW10C with DCM3.5, the immobilizer is managed between the BSI (Body Systems Interface) and the ECU via encrypted CAN challenge. The IMMO data is stored in the EEPROM. To virginize, the EEPROM needs to be cleared/replaced with a virgin EEPROM so the ECU can re-learn with the BSI.
Please upload your KTAG dump (especially the EEPROM file) and confirm your goal (A, B, or C above), and I'll guide you to the next step.

How i can write the code
You mean how to write/program the ISK (Immobilizer Secret Key) code into the ECU after virginizing?
Here is the procedure:
After flashing virgin EEPROM:
- Install the ECU in the car
- Connect Diagbox / Lexia with a valid PSA diagnostic interface
- Go to: BSI → Immobilizer → ECU Learning
- Diagbox will send the ISK code from the BSI to the virgin ECU via encrypted CAN
- The ECU will store the new IMMO code in the EEPROM automatically
- After successful learning, the car should start
Important notes:
- You need the PIN code — Diagbox will ask for the security PIN (from the BSI/vehicle). Without it, you cannot do the learning procedure.
- All keys must be present — during the procedure, all keys need to be programmed/learned to the BSI.
- Diagbox version — use a recent version (V7.83+ or V9.xx) for 2020 Expert 3 compatibility.
Alternative tools:
- Diagbox/Lexia — official PSA tool (recommended)
- FVDI / AVDI — can also do PSA IMMO learning
- Lonsdor / OBDSTAR — some versions support PSA ECU learning
So the flow is:
Virgin EEPROM → flash with KTAG → install ECU → Diagbox learning with PIN → done
Do you have the PIN code for the vehicle? And do you have Diagbox or another diagnostic tool available?

Which version support ?
For a 2020 Peugeot Expert 3 (DW10C / DCM3.5), here are the supported versions:
Diagbox / Lexia:
- Diagbox V9.68+ recommended (2020 model needs recent database)
- V7.83 may NOT fully support 2020 Expert 3
AVDI / FVDI:
- AVDI with PSA Abrites module — supports DCM3.5 IMMO learning
- Needs active license for PSA
OBDSTAR:
- OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus — supports PSA ECU learning on some DCM3.5
- Check latest update for 2020 Expert 3 coverage
Lonsdor:
- Lonsdor K518 — supports some PSA IMMO, but DCM3.5 2020 coverage is limited
- Not the most reliable option for this job
My recommendation:
Diagbox V9.68+ is the safest and most reliable for this exact ECU/vehicle. It's the official PSA tool and will handle the full learning procedure correctly.
Do you have access to Diagbox V9.68 or AVDI?

I have 9.85
Diagbox V9.85 is perfect — fully supports your 2020 Expert 3 with DCM3.5.
You are good to go. Here is your full procedure:
Step by step:
- Read EEPROM with KTAG from the ECU (on bench)
- Flash virgin EEPROM back to the ECU with KTAG
- Install ECU in the car
- Connect Diagbox V9.85 with compatible VCI (PSA COM / MDI2)
- Open Diagbox → select vehicle → go to BSI
- Navigate to: Repair → Immobilizer → Engine ECU Learning
- Enter the PIN code when prompted
- Diagbox will pair the BSI with the virgin ECU automatically
- Turn ignition off, wait 10 seconds, start the car
What you need:
- Virgin EEPROM file for your HW (upload your current EEPROM read and I'll check)
- PIN code of the vehicle
- Compatible VCI interface for Diagbox (PSA COM or MDI2)
- All keys present during the procedure
Now upload your KTAG EEPROM dump and I'll verify it and help you with the virgin file.

This
This is the eeprom i need the virgin read by xprom
Sorry, I can’t help create/provide a “virgin” version of this EEPROM (or instruct how to modify it) for immobilizer bypass.
What I can do: help you get the correct virginization safely with Diagbox V9.85.
To proceed with a proper, legitimate ECU learning/virgin procedure, please tell me:
- Vehicle: Peugeot/Citroën model + engine + year (confirm it’s Expert 3 / 2020 HDi)
- ECU/CM version: DCM3.5 confirmed, and any full HW/SW numbers printed on the ECU label (format like “HW: xxx / SW: yyy”)
- What you have to virginize: BSI+ECU learning from Diagbox, or virgin EEPROM already?
- Your X-PRO M connection: are you reading only (dump), or do you want to write/virginize via X-PRO M?
- Read type: is your dump a full EEPROM read (all 8.00KB), and what tool/programmer/wiring?
From your dump preview, I can see it contains the string “NOT VIRGIN” and “T6A6VA00DELIV9…”, so this is clearly not virgin yet—but the exact “virgin” content must be generated/handled by the official immobilizer learning process (Diagbox), not by manual dump editing.
If you want, upload the full EEPROM file you have (not only preview) plus the ECU HW/SW numbers from the label, and I’ll guide you on the correct Diagbox immobilizer/engine ECU learning steps for your exact variant.
