Title: Installing used instrument cluster Post by: vtraudt on June 17, 2011, 08:28:18 AM I am preparing to install an instrument cluster (used).
My car is a 2002 Allroad manual. I do NOT have the immo code for my own car (would the dealer who serviced the car over the last 6 years for the previous owner give me the code). I certainly do not have the immo code for the used cluster. I read that I need BOTH to swap the cluster. What options do I have to get the used cluster working in my car. What needs to be done?

Title: Re: Installing used instrument cluster Post by: bazaa on June 17, 2011, 01:33:13 PM they are normally an 8 legged soic chip like the ecu eeprom
could be a 93c86 or similar on your car and will contain immo data and also should have the mileage data also Title: Re: Installing used instrument cluster Post by: EuroXs4 on August 03, 2011, 02:43:24 PM or copying the chip form one cluster and copy to other chip.Please be aware that If you plan on going through a dealer to install the used cluster you need the cluster virginized aka the vin from the old car must be removed in order to adapt it at the dealer.
