Hi,
Hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post this.
I get a fair bit of having to replace an instrument cluster or ECU, most of these I can do by OBD but these have been older immo versions. Lately I have had a run of cars that I had the SKC from the car and the replacement parts but have been unable to adapt and I think this may be beyond VCDS as I don't have scans from these cars so this is just a general question for now.
First was a 3C Passat, so comfort module and Simos 1.2 ECU -
I can read the SKC and Component protection data from both ECU's using another tool. When I use VCDS the CCM accepts the SKC but when I do to adaption channel 50 remains unavaliable, I tried waiting 5 minutes as from memory this is what is needed when adapting other immo related parts like the steering lock. Either way it remained unavaliable.
The other was a Audi A4 8E 2008, RB8 cluster and EDC16U31 ECU -
Again using a different tool I am able to read the SKC and CS from old and new ECU. When I enter the SKC in immobiliser it is accepted, channel 50 shows as available but will not accept the new SKC.
In both cases I made sure that all relevant coding was first changed. I know that I have done cars before with CS but from memory these were MK5 Golfs and Jetta's, I vaguely recall something about the diesel not needing CS but the petrol did, so this might be why I have been able to do some before ( I can't recall what engines they I did though). I am thinking that the reason that I have been unable to adapt these parts is because of the CS and in both cars it can not be changed by adaption. Does this sound correct?
I have heard that this can be done with ODIS and access to GeKo or a couple of other tools which support immo adaption.
Does it sound like I am on the right track?
Thanks,
Brendan
