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.

Instrument Cluster Swapping (Used Cluster)

Prerequisites:
The Coding from the OLD (original) cluster has been saved.
The NEW (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 NEW (USED) cluster.
Make sure to have the PIN for the NEW (USED) instrument cluster.
Make sure to have the Radio Code (for factory radios only).

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.

There are 2 possibilities how to enter a PIN, choose the one that applies for you.
4-digit PIN
Enter zero followed by the 4-digit PIN. For example, if your PIN is 1234, enter 01234.
7-digit PIN
[Use 7-digit PIN/SKC]
Enter the 7-digit PIN, Date on which the PIN was generated by the dealer, along with the Workshop Code (WSC) and the Importer number of the dealer that generated the code.
[OK]
VCDS will validate the data you have entered and return you to the Login screen, where the Login Code will show as "XXXXX".

[Do it!]


[Adaptation - 10]
Enter 21 in "Channel Number".
[Read]
The "Stored Value" is the number of keys currently matched.
Enter a "new value" corresponding to the total number of keys to be matched, including any existing keys.
The old keys are automatically being cleared.
[Save]
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]
Repeat the following steps until all Keys have been matched:
Switch Ignition OFF and remove Key.
Insert the next Key and switch Ignition ON.
The Immobilizer Warning Light will light up for ~2 seconds, wait until it goes out.

Note: The above steps after saving the adaptation, should not exceed 60 seconds!

Instrument Cluster Swapping (Used Cluster)

Prerequisites:
The NEW (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 NEW (USED) cluster.
Immo 3 Audi vehicles typically use adaptation channels 060, 06 1and 062 for the internal installation list since they do not have address 19-CAN Gateway. If in question, run a complete Adaptation Control Module Map with the old module installed.
Make sure to have BOTH PIN's, from the OLD (ORIGINAL) and the NEW (USED) instrument cluster.
Make sure to have the Radio Code (for factory radios only).

For the following procedure, use the PIN of the NEW (USED) instrument cluster.
There are 2 possibilities how to enter a PIN, choose the one that applies for you.
4-digit PIN
Enter zero followed by the 4-digit PIN directly in the Login field. For example, if your PIN is 1234, enter 01234.
If you have a 4-digit PIN then you would NOT use the 7-digit PIN/SKC button at all
