I clean remove the cable's driver files that it came with for VCDS KKL409. I need to decide on, and order another cable I think, something that will utilise Vag Commander 2.5. I'm expecting the donor cluster hopefully over the next 3 days - then it's bank holiday here, so if it doesn't arrive I may not get it until midweek 7th May. Even if I don't post for a week or so at a time. Have been busy! Going to posting on this one as it could be of use to someone. I picked up a cheap Vag-Tacho cable, but it doesn't appear to work.
I myself am trying to figure out how I can get the SKC code from a donor cluster. Then follow Ross-Tech's directions on swapping clusters. My mileage is more than double that of the donor!Like Caldy mentioned, with an ebay cable you need Vag commander 2.5. I've been given the SKC code for the cluster I'm buying ģ) set mileage correct on the donor cluster. There may be a slight difference in my cable and a Vag commander cable? (even as cheap ebay versions go that is) ?ġ) get my SKC from either the cluster(if poss) or from my ECU. But basically, I seem to have some connection with Commander 1.4 although it hasn't produced the goods yet. V1.4 at least seems to connect! It gets a little bit confusing with.is my B6 A4 'K-line' or CAN, etc. With Vag Commander, newer versions than V1.4 are available, I believe I tried V4.5 but got "target unit not responding". All I need Vag Commander to do is get the SKC for my cluster OR failing that hopefully get it off my ECU (if my cluster's memory, or chip is too damaged). I've got the SKC from the guy sending me th donor cluster. I'm assuming my cable may be set up slightly wrong? but I don't even know if it is hex can compatible or whatever?Īny ideas? Any pointers? Should Vag commander be able to get the SKC off the ECU do you think? Vag commander goes as far as allows me to select the cluster tab, but It doesn't retrieve any data, for any module in fact. I've only partially had some connection with Vag Commander 1.4. I've also downloaded Vag K commander, vag tacho. Works with the VCDS Vag com 409 it came with on a CD. I bought a USB OBDII 409.1 Cable VAG-COM 409 cable from ebay. I've got a matching donor cluster on the way via ebay, as I type, and the seller has given me the SKC code for this which will save me some hassle. If he or the nearest Audi dealerships do it, it's too much ££ for me. Garages won't touch the job, in fact all but 1 VW/Audi garage, and he only said he'd fit Brand new. all along I've wanted to change my cluster for a matching cluster. I wasn't given much to go on except told it was beyond repair, and that they couldn't pull info off the processor or something to that effect.
Earlier this year I sent it to 2 of the 'best' cluster repair centres in the UK without any luck.
My instrument cluster somehow suffered electrical damage. I only joined Audizine recently but I really need some pointers.
