Default True but I can't do that...how bout recoding mine as an L box?

Would it read the chip correctly if I recoded mine as an L box which IS the equiv of the M box

This msg would lead me to believe that a chip meant for an M box would read the same on an L box:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2325298.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2325298.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I don't *think* that a recode via vagcom would do it. it would have to be a program change, but

i've obviously never tried it

what does a program change consist of? What exactly do you think that'd do?

Default um, consists of taking it to dealer if stock or tuner if chipped and having them flash it

with the proper programming.

How about just buying an L-box ECU with programming?

Default I may take you up on this if I can find out whether or not the M box chip will work in it

I don't wanna buy another chip because if I was gonna do that I wouldn't need to change my ecu or programing at all, I'd just buy one to work on my J box.
