Title: Re: this is all a bit confusing Post by: ratherb1 on September 14, 2014, 03:42:03 PM so i get the nessacary ecu and cluster info from the old cluster and write it down and plug the new cluster in and transfer? seems easy enough , i think i have immo 2, same procedure as the link?

If both clusters are the same year you can simply use vag k+commander to write the old eeprom into the new one.

Title: Re: this is all a bit confusing Post by: ratherb1 on September 14, 2014, 06:01:54 PM so doing more digging it seems like vag commander is a program , so ill look into downloading that and hopefully its easy to use.....
Title: Re: this is all a bit confusing Post by: ddillenger on September 14, 2014, 10:48:43 PM It's very easy to use, and contained in the "B5 S4 cluster bench flashing sticky" in the cluster and immobilizer section. Just make sure to select k-line under connection, and you're good to go.
