namely me. :embarassed:
I'm just after some basic instructions on what I have to do to code my cluster in when I fit it. I have VAG TACHO and VAG COM ready to do everything (SKC pull, mileage correction, key coding) but I'm just not 100% on how to code the new cluster in.
I know there is a step by step guide on the Ross-Tech site but it seems a bit long winded and I'm rubbish at following instructions lol
Any help is much appreciated
-
Old_no7 Neil is the man to speak to though he says the ross tech is the best guide to use
http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/356613.aspx :smiley:
-
Yeah I've dropped Neil an email but no reply yet. I'm just worried about using that guide as it says it's for immo3 cars whereas mine is originally immo2 :undecided:
-
any vids on you tube?
-
not for coding the clusters but there is one on there for doing the keys which is now saved in my favourites :wink:
-
One thing I'd be weary of is the ability of VAG TACHO to actually pull the SKC code from your clocks.
I tried coding in Jamie's spare set the other week and it came up with a code which I entered but it was having none of it :undecided:
-
I'll bear that in mind mate. At least I've got my old clocks to fall back on if it all goes wrong. What version were you using?
EDIT - I'll try VAG TACHO on my clocks later and see if they pull the right code :wink:
-
Urm think its 2.1 or 2.2 :undecided: It's a few years old but the couple of times Iv'e tried coding it NEVER seems to have pulled the SKC code :undecided:
Must be user error :laugh: :laugh:
-
Did you add the 0 in front?
Neil has come through for me, what is worrying is that his email looks to be stuff he's pulled straight out of his head, think he's got the process etched in his brain :laugh:
Anyways I'll give it a go later, still can't find an outside temp sensor but I'll just run some cable out under the scuttle panel and leave it there for when I pick one up or just test out this Passat one I've got
-
Yep I added the 0 and it made no difference :sad:
-
strange. I'll see what happens later then
-
Its my strange car haha
Iv covered my current clocks in a Forge sticker as I cant see MPG etc anyways. (the red screen fades away :grin:)
My spare clocks are now broke I tried stripping them to swap the red cluster part but heavy hands ruined them lol

Here is a link to a PDF guide (http://www.gwdale.co.uk/other/immo2_to_immo3_install.pdf) that I've written, memorise it as it will self destruct in 90 seconds :laugh:
-
Extracted the SKC from my old cluster today to see if I could get the hang of VAG Tacho and it worked a treat :afro:
So tomorrow the steering wheel is coming out so I can fit the new wiper stalk and additional wires then hopefully the clocks :wink:

You coded the new clocks in then?? Or have you pulled what you 'hope' is the SKC..........
-
no I pulled the SKC from my old clocks then logged in via VAG COM as a test :afro:
-
The old skc code is not needed to code in the new clocks I thought?
You need the new code for the new clocks, the only info you need from the old clocks is the mileage isnt it?

Not according to Neils and Ross Techs guide :undecided:

Which is what Neil linked to :tongue:
Slightly off topic but what do you need to code an immob2 set to an immob2 car :undecided:
-
Not sure myself mate but it's probably the same as immo2 to immo3, just the SKC for the new and the soft codings and mileage from the old cluster
-
Yes just the SKC as all you need to do is code the keys to the cluster :afro:

Do you need new glasses :tongue: it says at the top "the SKC from the old cluster isn't needed" :grin:

Doh i meant no you dont need the skc code. I was answering the first question..... :grin:
Equally it doesnt matter as the codes i pulled from the new cluster didnt work.......
-
Is this Wazzers cluster or another one you are talking about Rhyso?

Jamie's cluster mate :smiley: i tried coding in an immob2 but he didnt have the SKC code. We put the new clocks in, connected vag tacho and pulled a 4 digit code. Then followed the guide (added a 0 before the 4 digit code) but it wouldnt have any of it :undecided:
-
Must be my car Rhyso :grin:
Hates being potched with lol
-

That immo icon has gone now mate, dunno why it popped up like that
-
VT doesn't like some of the older clusters, you can try selecting VDO old from the cluster type but if that doesn't work you can get the SKC with Vag K+.
Did you check the lock out timers in the cluster Rhyso? if they are active then you can't do anything until they have timed out, you just have to wait even if you have the correct SKC :afro:
Although if you have a the correct virgin code dump to hand you can flash the cluster with this then retry the coding but you will need to extract the skc again as it will be different after flashing with another code file.
-
well I'm stumped...
VAG COM will only let me code in one key!!
-
scratch that, they're in :cool:
-
job done, I feckin love them :drool: :drool:
Car just needs a good wash and polish and it's ready for V-dub Island :cool:
Will get some pics in a bit, gotta go and pick the missus and kids up :wink:
-
yeahhhhhhh :cool:
-
don't have outside temp yet though Daz :wink:
-
nom nom nom

Rubbish phone pics, will get some better ones with a proper camera tomrrow
-
They look awsome :cool:
-
thanks mate, no more sleepy blue in there!
-
Look great Wez :cool: :cool: :cool:
What are they modded standard clocks?
-
Yeah all blue SMDs removed, clock and mileage
replaced with red, gauges replaced with white :cool:

RayArd never fails to amaze me. Well at least I'm guessing it was him as he's a bloody genious :nerd:
-
yep they're his handy work :wink:
-
look great they do wez :cool:
-
Ive seen that colour scheme before somewhere :undecided:
Oh yeah, in my Aldi :laugh:

Top work as always Wes :afro:
-
Where do you think I got the idea from :wink:
I did want the inverted displays like you've got but Ray said it was a nightmare to do so I held off on that one
I've just changed the lit needles so the gauges come on at the same time now as you can see the LEDs in the daytime :afro:
-
Looking good Wes, those white LED's are bright you'll need sun glasses in the dark :laugh:
Glad you sorted the coding out, not too hard to do is it :wink:
-
I was surprised how easy it was mate :wink:
Thanks for your help, wouldn't have been able to do it without your guidance :afro:
I've even been at the v-dub festival flashing eeproms for MTE and illuminated needles :grin:
-
Just make sure you keep a backup of the standard eprom just in case, it saved my bacon when I flashed Tabs' Bora and it wouldn't start after :laugh:
-
Yep I do that as a matter of course, no harm in having a backup :afro:

How did you get it to display miles left in tank instead of the more common MPG ive been wanting to get that done on mine for ages..

That looks technical looks like I wont be getting that :grin:
-
it's an absolute piece of piss mate. Bit scary first time round but all is well
-
I think I have the right clocks as mine are the full fis display and the cars a 02 , I havent got the lead and software etc. I have just sent the info to a friend who has got all the kit see if its something he can do as I would really like it done and love your clocks they look sweet...
-
cheers mate :wink:
-
No worries Ive read through your build thread some very nice work :wink:
-
Cheers buddy, at least it looks good from the outside...

your dad asked me about that aaaages ago. If your mate can't sort it give me a shout
