Title: VW mk4 immo3 cluster swap Channel 50 System Not Ok
Post by: beaver2424 on September 16, 2022, 07:14:35 PM
Hello! I'm trying to do a cluster swap in my 2003 VW mk4 GTI 1.8t. I have both SKCS from old cluster and new (used) cluster which were obtained from vagtacho.
I have VCDS 22.3 and I am following this immo3 cluster swap guide https://www.uk-mkivs.net/threads/cluster-swap-immo3-to-immo3.61287/ 

Old Cluster p/n: 1J0920906J
New (Used) Cluster p/n: 1J5920906J

Everything goes well until I get to channel 50 and enter Old SKC from old cluster in "New Value" and hit test I get: System, Not Ok, N/A, N/A
My new (used) cluster wont take the old cluster vin and immobilizer information. Is the new (used) cluster bad?

I have installed vag eeprom programmer. If I get the eeprom dump from the new(Used) cluster and edit in a hex editor and change vin, immod id, skc and immo key and write to eeprom will that work?

I figured it out. I used vag eeprom programmer and pulled both old cluster eeprom dump and new cluster eeprom dump. Then I compared and used ZeGecko's post:
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=14294.0title=

and edited in the new (used) cluster eeprom dump (Saved original backup first):
Vin
Immo ID
SKC
Immo Key

Edited those 4 values in hxd editor saved and opened in vag eeprom programmer and wrote to the new(used) cluster. Also I adjusted the mileage in vag eeprom programmer. Then I proceeded to use VCDS and logged into new cluster with old skc, 17 instruments, login 11 (old skc), Adaptation 10, Channel 21 and reprogrammed all three keys. Worked like a charm!

Big thanks to  ZeGecko for making that detailed post on what to edit when you pull the cluster eeprom dump.

should of just used Dashdump edit that would have swapped matching data and you wouldnt of need vcds either

if I had done it, the car would have just started as if the numerator was from this car

Where do I get dashdump edit program? Sounds a lot easier than manually editing the dump file like I did.
