I’ve got Toaf but can’t connect to the module. I have a sometimes working T4 (usually not), and hope in a few days to get an AK90. Can I read the EWS with the AK90 and transfer the programming to another EWS?

The poor owner bought the car in its present state and has despite lots of work, never seen it running …

Don`t hold your breath waiting for the AK...
You need the other Item I showed you to write on the EWS....
