If it does need it, does one just need to add the 1-wire load IC? If yes, are there instructions on how to do so?
Does one just need to add the 1-wire load IC? - at minimum, yes. But ...

* In the extremely unlikely case if the analog input protection on EC18/pin16 is solved with 5V1 zener towards ground, then remove the zener or the resistor (or use a higher value, min 47k resistor instead). Otherwise the 5V1 zener might load the trace too much and disturb the 1-wire bus (no damage, just might not operate properly).

* than solder the DS2480B 1-wire chip.

** check DS2480B pin1 and surrounding components on GenBoard/VerThree/Schematic

* Finally enable ButtonImmobilizer

* preferrably also install (and enable) the "HW mod - "1-wire keepalive" function (1 Mohm * 1 uF RC circuit)

** with this mod if the ECU reboots during operation (eg. overtaking) than it will continue to run without requiring touching on I-button. As always, understand the risks (and decide accordingly).

* test and learn how to use it.

* After a firmware upgrade don't touch on button until the config is uploaded (VemsTune does this automatically unless interrupted by the user), preferrably also press "Validate" and review config.

Some info would be great on this.
