Maybe the coding do something more to solve the problem

Bonjour,
Can you please get in touch via DM? I have a question re: 6WB virginisation and would appreciate if you could share how you did that. Thanks

I only need to change vin so really rather not desolder eeprom as I heard I can’t eerase mileage anyway with this eeprom and r270.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm able to read when desoldering but would prefer to use the clip. These clusters take so much heat to get the eeprom desoldered.

I fixed this. I had my test clip pins soldered in upside down. Now, I'm able to read and write successfully but the mileage always reads 0 which is unfortunate. On the bright side, I can still change the VIN for cars that have higher mileage than the replacement cluster and don't need to desolder the EEPROM.
