I thought I'd give this patch it's own thread, and organize it nicely. Thank you acamus and mrfred for your work on this.
Disclaimer: This patch is for educational and testing purposes only, and not meant for use on public roads. Be aware that applying this patch on a vehicle that is intended to be inspected by the DMV could be illegal and/or arouse suspicision, especially since this patch can allow you to set the heated catalyst, secondary air monitor or a/c moniter to available/pass even though the car doesn't have it.
This is the patch that will set all inspection tests to "Pass". Acamus has dedicated this patch to Tephra, who could use your donation support. If you enjoy the educational benefit of this patch, please donate.
Great work Christian, thanks for making it public and spending time sharing the videos ;).

Amazing work everyone that was involved. Will this be something I can add on even after changing the bits to remove my EGR/EVAP/FPR?

Will this work for an VIII? Also I have the rear O2 delete mod and of course with an VIII it wont let me pass emissions. Do I need to remove that?

I've been using this for quite a while now on 96530006 and can verify that it passes OBD-II emmissions testing.
Actually, it was pretty funny to see the OBD readiness monitors as passed for items not even on my car. :)

just use regular notepad, and make sure you have the patch entered properly. Also ecu flash should be closed.
