EDC15 Immobilizer Delete

v0.91-beta release supports writing to the EDC15 EEPROM using the WriteEdc15Eeprom command:

WriteEdc15Eeprom ADDRESS1 VALUE1 [ADDRESS2 VALUE2 ... ADDRESSn VALUEn]
                 ADDRESS = EEPROM address in decimal (0-511) or hex ($00-$1FF)
                 VALUE = Value to be stored at address in decimal (0-255) or hex ($00-$FF)

For example (EDC15 Immobilizer Off):

kw1281test.exe com1 9600 1 WriteEdc15Eeprom 0x1B0 0x60 0x1DE 0x60

(I have no idea why this works. I found the addresses/values by searching around on the Internet).

If anything goes wrong during the writing process, you'll probably need to disconnect your battery for a minute to reset the ECU. A backup copy of the entire EEPROM will be created just before writing the new values.

Keep in mind this is the EEPROM, not the flash, so you can't upload a tune this way. Also, know that this could brick your ECU if something goes wrong.
