Hi, firstly I'm certainly no electronics expert but I thought an eeprom was a read only device not an I/O chip. To me the BCU is an I/O device where the inputs are stored for outputs on driving styles.

TIP: IMHO image all the ECU's, BCU, SLABS, EAT ECU, etc as you'll lose a lot of data should they flunk out at anytime later.

I don't have an answer to your question but I can tell you that I replaced my BCU with a used one a while back and it had to be paired using a hawkeye diagnostics tool. Took all of 2 minutes to do and it worked great.
