You were absolutely right about "Apfel", that's apple. "Fichte" means spruce.

@GregM 21 күн бұрын

Due to the lack of audio, I wanted to summarize as I see it. I assume that the Fichte/Apfel chips contain the configuration information for the particular vehicle. You removed the Fichte chip from the donor board kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r92kZsVqrqnRYnU.html and did not use it since it was for a different car. You removed the Apfel chip from the customer's fob kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r92kZsVqrqnRYnU.html, fixed the torn pad, and soldered it back to the donor board. Correct?

lol - weed? Oh! No: WEIDE - pasture or meadow, pronounced: /vaɪ̯də/ - ə like the o-u in could /kəd/ As a general rule though for German vs. English => i = e and e = i Thanks anyway. Everything else till now was satisfactory 😂😉

Insane the amount of money these car manufacturers charge for a new fob. Absolute con. And crazy that they're now making something that gets dropped and knocked around a lot with BGA chips now. I suspect you're going to get a LOT more of these in future.
