Immobilizer II Immobilizer Swapping (Instrument Cluster)

From Ross-Tech Wiki

This procedure details how to change the instrument cluster on VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda vehicles with Immobilizer II, where the immobilizer control module is integrated in instrument cluster.


Determining IMMO-ID (ECU)

[Select]
[01 - Engine]
Look at the first "Extra" field. The 14-digit string is the Immo-ID.
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]
Note: If the 17 Digit VIN is shown the vehicle does not use Immo II and the procedure here does not apply.

[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]

Note: If the 17 Digit VIN is shown the vehicle does not use Immo II and the procedure here does not apply.

Instrument Cluster Swapping

Prerequisites:

  • The Coding from the OLD (ORIGINAL) cluster has been saved.
  • The REPLACEMENT (NEW or USED) cluster is installed in the car.
  • Battery voltage at least 12.0 V.
  • All relevant coding and adaptation values have been transferred from the OLD (ORIGINAL) cluster to the REPLACEMENT (NEW or USED) cluster.
  • Make sure to have the PIN for the REPLACEMENT (NEW or USED) instrument cluster.
  • Make sure to have the Radio Code (for factory radios only).

Coding

[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Recode - 07]
Enter the coding from the OLD (ORIGINAL) cluster
[Do It!]


Additional Volkswagen Step Including models with an Integral Address 19 - CAN Gateway in the Cluster

[Select]
[19 - CAN Gateway]
[Coding - 07]
Enter the coding from the OLD (ORIGINAL) cluster
[Do It!]


Additional Audi Step Including vehicles that Do Not use an Integral Address 19 - CAN Gateway in the Cluster
Additional Adaptation Channels may be needed for SRI and the Internal Installation List of installed modules.

  • The Internal Installation List channels are generally 060, 061 and 062 when applicable.
  • The SRI channels vary by cluster. The automated SRI Reset feature of VCDS can be used to check the settings.


Matching the Cluster to the Engine ECU

[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Adaption - 10]
Leave channel at "00"
[Read]
[Save]
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]
Switch ignition Off and then back On within one minute, but do not start vehicle.

Notes: On some Euro Audi models with Immobilizer II, a PIN will be required.


Proceed with Key Matching (through Instrument Cluster) now.
