Replacing new climate control unit on audi a5 how do i re code a new one

[MG STICKLAND]

morning i have an audi a5. the climate instrument panel has missing pixiles so i bought a second hand unit. but it dose not work. how do i code it to the car???

do i have to get it virginised??

or do i have to get the long code off the part im trying to replace it with?

or can this not be done at all?

thank you

do you have any codings/adaptations from the previous unit? scan of the current/old car?

OP hadn't registered yet when he joined the forum. I just got him Verified. Moving this to Car Repair Support.

I suspect that the Climate Control panel in an A5 is part of the Component Protection constellation. But in any case, Auto-Scans with both the old and the new one installed in the car would be appropriate here.

ONCE I PLUG THE SECOND HAND UNIT IN, AND ENTER THE CODE FROM THE ORIGINAL CODE IT JUST GETS EXCEPTED BUT NOTHING HAPPENS

PLEASE HELP ME WITH WHAT I NEED TO DO

HOW DO I RETRIEVE THE LONG CODE OFF THE SECOND HAND UNIT

 

[MG STICKLAND]

I ONLY HAVE THE CODINGS OFF MY CAR [PREVIOUS UNIT]

I DO NOT HAVE THE CODE OFF THE REPLAEMENT UNIT AS THIS CAME FROM THE SCRAP YARD

An incorrectly coded module will still "talk".

Remove component protection and then code it

 

[stefdds]

MG, I have a Audi S5,2009 and Yes (as noted above in post #8) that item is component protected: you will need to go to the dealer or someone with Abrites , etc. Unfortunately, you are "stuck". CP is "programed in" many Audi components (to prevent theft, so says Audi) so they can not just be exchanged and installed into other similar models. Consult a dealer (unfortunately).

I suspect that the Climate Control panel in an A5 is part of the Component Protection constellation (per post #3, Uwe).

how do i remove it

 

[PetrolDave]

how do i remove it (component protection)

You have to take the car to either an Audi dealer or a VAG specialist with a Fazit online connection to the corporate servers - CP cannot be removed by a stand-alone diagnostic tool.

how do i remove it

Like was mention above you need to go to Audi Dealer or find VW-Audi specialist who has right tool to do this.
Component protection is one more Security on car like immobilizer , Audi has it since 2005 , and VW stared I believe in 2016 .

 

[Uwe]

VW stared I believe in 2016

In Europe, probably earlier, with the MQB cars around 2013/2014?
