Highline cluster coding

[krisbutler02]

Is there anyone around the Gloucester area who can code in my new clocks?

Currently have the small mfd one but have bought a second hand large mfd one

How hard a job is it to but the large MFD clocks in? I also have the small ( under the temp&fuel gauge ) screen & have wondered about doing the upgrade...how does it work with your mileage on your current clocks? Do you need new car keys ( is there an immobiliser in the clock set ) which would require either new keys or recoding im guessing?

Sorry for all the questions. ...

 

[krisbutler02]

He it has an immobiliser this is my problem I need that coding in . Mileage also needs coding back in

I just do t know how to lol

The immobilizer lives within the cluster. if you intend to fit an mfd cluster it needs to be compatible with your vehicle i.e around the same year of manufacture with the same immo.

once you have the correct cluster you will need either both pin codes for the clusters or software capable of reading and writing the immo data into the new cluster.

if you use the pins and vcds then you'll also need both keys present, the old cluster is then unusable.

if you use the immo dump then both the new and old clusters will be plug and play as you've effectively just cloned them and you can swap them around as you see fit.

the milage can be adjusted using the same software for pin code reading or the immo dumps.

I see ( or more to the point that sounds complicated & above my car modding skill set ) I would like to do it thou..

 

[krisbutler02]

So mj can you do this for me?

My car is 2008 clocks are 2006 can you see an issue?

 

[James_R]

I don't get involved pal, only offer advice.

Regarding the clocks they might be too far apart but I'm not 100% sure

 

[krisbutler02]

Well bought vag commander and it only read two difits from the SKC code now im baffled

Is there any one who does this for a charge?

 

[James_R]

Save the immo dumps of both clocks the write the original dump to the new ones. Then turn the ignition off for 5 minutes.

 

[krisbutler02]

That worked a treat

Now i have to stop all the dam lights and change my milage back to miles

And the chiming that does not stop haha

Ill have to this with vag com?

 

[James_R]

The cluster is in KMs?

 

[krisbutler02]

Yeah my own fault i pressed coding by accident looooops

 

[J400uk]

I had 2006 clocks fitted to my 2008 Leon so can confirm that swap should work. Eddie-NL did the coding for me, I don't think he's on this forum but he frequents Briskoda and quite a few of the VW boards.

 

[James_R]

Yeah he frequents mk5 golf gti forum. Only problem is he's based in Norwich.

 

[krisbutler02]

Sorted the km to mikes but ill have to play with vag com tomoz as i have errors due to coding and an annoying constant beeping

 

[James_R]

What faults are stored?

 

[krisbutler02]

Ill be honest ill have to check with vag com tomoz as the vag commander is poo

I have abs light on steering wheel and a red exclamation mark

 

[James_R]

Oh, just needs the angle sensor re-calibrating. They'll all go out and the beeping stop once this is done.
It'll have to be a forced calibration. Turning the wheel lock to lock won't usually do it.

 

[krisbutler02]

Well tried to code it

Not a clue how to do this BTW

it wont do the adation and the abs is the one beeping.



there are fault codes saying incorrect coding. im in need of some desperate help

 

[James_R]

Post the codes up
