Can someone...

It looks like you want IMMO off on a SID 208 from a Ford Transit, but there's not enough information to help yet.

Please provide the following:

  • ECU hardware number and software number (from the label or read from the ECU)
  • Vehicle model, engine code, and year
  • What tool did you use (or plan to use) to read the ECU? (e.g., BDM100, Galletto, MPPS, KTag, etc.)
  • Is it a full read or partial read?
  • Can you attach the dump/bin file so it can be checked?

With the dump and these details, someone can look into disabling the IMMO for you.
 

Thanks for uploading the file. Unfortunately I can't extract the RAR archive on my end to inspect the dump.

Could you help with the following:

  1. Re-upload the bin/dump file as a .bin or .zip instead of .rar so it can be examined.
  2. Confirm the ECU hardware and software number (from the ECU label).
  3. What tool did you use to read it? (KTag, MPPS, Galletto, BDM, etc.)
  4. Is it a full read (including internal flash + external EEPROM) or just one of them?
  5. What is the exact vehicle? (Transit year, 2.2 TDCi — but which variant? FWD/RWD? Power output?)

Important: For SID 208 (Delphi) IMMO off, typically you need both the flash and the EEPROM dump. The IMMO data is usually stored in the external EEPROM (93C86 or similar). If you only have one of the two, IMMO off may not be possible or complete.

Please re-upload and confirm the details above so someone can properly assist you.
 
is not posibile immo off this model of ecu (sid208) only online tools ...

That's a fair point — SID 208 (Delphi) from the Ford Transit 2.2 TDCi is indeed one of the trickier ECUs for IMMO off.

Here's the situation:

  • The IMMO on SID 208 is tightly integrated — the immobilizer routine is embedded in the internal flash microcontroller, not just in the external EEPROM.
  • Simply patching the EEPROM or zeroing out key bytes is usually not enough to fully disable IMMO on this ECU.
  • Some online services (like remote tuning/IMMO specialists) can do it because they have the full calibration knowledge and patched driver sets for the internal micro.

Options for the original poster:

  1. Online IMMO off service — Send your full read (flash + EEPROM, both read via KTag) to a reputable IMMO off service. They can раtсh it remotely and send the modified files back. Several well-known services handle SID 208.
  2. Emulator — Use a IMMO emulator (like Julie or similar) that simulates the correct IMMO response to the ECU. This avoids modifying the ECU at all.
  3. Virgin ECU — If you can get a virgin (unprogrammed) SID 208, it can be paired to the vehicle with Ford IDS/FDRS and new keys programmed.

So to summarize: DIY IMMO off on SID 208 via simple hex editing is not reliably possible. You'll need either an online specialist service or an emulator approach.

Hope that helps clarify things for you. Good luck! 👍
