DEVICE FOR READING INFORMATION FROM ELECTRONIC IGNITION SWITCH VIA POGO SWITCH IN MOTOR VEHICLES

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device used to read information from the Porsche BCM modules with 1N35H, 1L15Y or 5M48H mask. The device is an adapter (interface), installed detachable to the rear of the BCM module, that reads information from the module of Porsche motor vehicles, using a pogo pin (a device used in electronics to establish connection between two printed circuit boards), and transfers the obtained information to devices like MBprog, SMOK, UPA programmer or XEP 100 programmer.

Claims

1. A device for reading information from Porsche BCM module with 1N35H, 1L15Y or 5M48H mask via a pogo pin in motor vehicles, comprising a non-nonconductive plate (4), a pogo pin (2), a printed circuit board (5), and connectors (3).

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is an adapter or an interface, installed detachable to the rear of BCM module, that reads information from the module, using the pogo pin, and transfers the obtained information to external devices.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the printed circuit board, made of non-conductive material covered with a layer of brass, allows the read information to be transferred from the pogo pin (2) to the connectors (3) located on the top surface of the adapter.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the connectors (3) allows various external devices like MBprog, SMOK, UPA programmer, XEP 100 programmer, EWS Keymaker, UPA, and X Prog-M, to be plugged, one at a time, into the adapter to obtain information received by the connectors (3) from the BCM module (1) via the pogo pin (2).

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the non-conductive plate is made of transparent plastic, so it can be visible at the back of the module (1), and wherein the plate contains holes which allow the plate to be positioned/mounted on the rear side of the BCM module (1) by inserting elements of the module into the holes of the plate of the adapter.

6. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the pogo pin (2) is made of a conductive material, like brass.

7. The device according to claim 1, wherein a number of pogo pins in the adapter varies within the range of 1 to 6.

8. The device according to claim 1, wherein a number of connectors located on a top surface of the adapter varies within the range of 1 to 6.

9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the adapter is connected to MB Proga memory programmer of EEPROM/FLASH/processors.

10. The device according to claim 1, wherein the adapter is connected to MB Key Proga car key programmer.

11. The device according to claim 1, wherein the adapter is connected to X Prog-Ma memory programmer of EEPROM/FLASH/processors.

12. The device according to claim 1, wherein the adapter is connected to EWS Keymakera car key programmer.

13. The device according to claim 1, wherein the adapter is connected to UPAa memory programmer of EEPROM/FLASH/processors.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] FIG. 1 shows a top view of the device for reading information from electronic ignition switch via pogo pin.

[0011] In the alternative embodiment of the invention (not displayed in the drawings) a number of elements of the adapter may vary. For example the number of pogo pins, in different versions of this element, varies within the range of 1 to 6. Similarly, number of connectors located on the top surface of the adapter, varies within the range of 1 to 6. Also, the following devices can be connected to the adapter, in the alternative applications of the adapter: MB Prog (a memory programmer of EEPROM/FLASH/processors), MB Key Prog (a car key programmer), X Prog-M (a memory programmer of EEPROM/FLASH/processors), EWS Keymaker (a car key programmer), UPA (a memory programmer of EEPROM/FLASH/processors). EEPROM (also written E2PROM and pronounced e-e-prom, double-e-prom or e-squared-prom) stands for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory and is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices to store relatively small amounts of data but allowing individual bytes to be erased and reprogrammed.

[0012] FLASHFlash memory is an electronic (solid-state) non-volatile computer storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.

[0013] The above list of elements of the adapter, a list of devices which can be connected to the adapter, and a list of uses of the adapter is not exhausted and only represents certain preferred solutions and samples which do not limit other solutions/embodiments according to the present invention.
