I installed a reconditioned 4b920981P cluster in my 01 A6 2.7t (Immo III).  Had it running with no problems until I decided to correct some of the speedometer error between the donor Allroad and my sedan.

Attached is the origina bin file and my modified file.  Neither wants to load DEF free at this point.  There is always the possibility that I've somehow corrupted the original.

Any help would be appreciated.

That was my first reaction.

I took a couple of days off to go skiing so I'm not home right now, but will try again when I get back on Saturday.  There are some other symptons that are a bit confusing.
 
When I try to read the cluster with VAG K+CAN 2.5, I just get garbage.  But I know the cluster isn't completely corrupted because everything seems to work as expected except:
  -DEF in trip odometer
  -erratic speedo behavior...reads 170 at rest and then bounces around as i drive.

Odometer reads correct mileage.

When I try to rewrite the cluster, I know that something is working because the cluster has to be adapted again afterwards.
The software shows the last read at 0x715.  I'm not sure if that is normal or not. I do see a full listing through 0x7FF.

 Smiley Great idea.  I was thinking the same thing.  Not sure how people feel about mentioning other fourms here, but I didn't see a copy of 1.19 here, so I tried to download a copy off the DK forum.  For some reason it just logged me off with each attempt.  I'll try again today but if anyone has a copy they can leave for me it would be appreciated.

I really appreciate all the help.

Okay, I tried to upload the original dump and correct the odometer.  Didn't solve problem.  This was using still using VAG Commander.

I was able to get EEPROM Programmer running on Com 1 in Win XP compatibility mode, but whatever I tried to do I just got back a message that it couldn't find an ECU (even when I tried to read the "Dash").

I think port settings are okay because both VCDS-Lite and VAG Commander work without problem.

Just out of curiosity, I thought 1.19 had an option to read/write either encrypted or unencrypted.  I didn't see anything on the menus to indicate that.  Did I miss something or was I just mistaken on the capability?

you setup USB not com1/com2

the a6 C5 clusters can be read only decrypted thru OBD so you just use DASH and READ

Sort of.  My KKL cable is USB.  I couldn't get it to recognize the cable using the USB Menu option, so I configured a USB port to run as a serial port (com 1).  It's the same thing I do with VCDS-Lite.  Then the menu option for Com 1 worked and it tried to read the cluster.  Spun for a while and then said no ECU.  Same thing happened if I just tried to read the ECU.

One of my problems was that I didn't realize the cluster was encrypted.  My '01 wasn't and I didn't even think about the possibility that the new one was, so I don't have an encrypted bin file to fall back to.

What kind of a bench setup do you have to build to read/write encrypted?  Do you have to pull the chip from the cluster?

Reinstalled my old cluster today.  EPROM Programmer read it with no problem and updated mileage.  So now, I'll just figure out how to work on the new one that I DEFed one out of the car.

As far as being able to read/write  ecrypted, it looks like all I need is a 93c capable writer and an 8 pin clip for the chip.

I'll look around to see what people are using for bench testing.  I guessing that some connectors from a wrecking yard donor and a 12v power source will do the trick.  The cables may take a little work to find.

I'm a little baffled over how I messed up the cluster in the first place.  It may have just been an issue the VAG Commander software.  Tomorrow I'll post my before and after coding for the speedo map and see if anyone can see a problem with it.

You wont read IT with a clip , only desoldered can be read.

What do you want to with the Speedo? In the files you upload earlier its done completly wrong

And how to power up the cluster on bench you can find on this forum

Thanks.   I realized I'd screwed it up after i posted the files.  I think I had the right idea, but I copied my changes into the wrong part of the speedo map.  I'd calculated my check sum incorrectly also.

Here is what I was trying to do...just raise the speedo readings at the same set points.  I only meant to change 0xD4 through 0xE3.  Does this look better (or does the Audi speedo have a "k factor" to scale up the tranny pulses?

Original bin:

0xB0    FC   86   07   D0   07   23   10   3A   10   23   10   3A   10   F6   0E   22
0xC0    0F   01   01   08   18   00   80   00   04   03   0B   07   F9   09   CD   0D
0xD0    9A   10   11   11   03   00   78   00   C1   02   68   06   26   09   CD   0C
0xE0    8A   0F   00   10   08   00   00   20   03   40   06   60   09   80   0C   A0

Modified bin:

0xB0    48   86   07   D0   07   23   10   3A   10   23   10   3A   10   F6   0E   22
0xC0    0F   01   01   08   18   00   80   00   04   03   0B   07   F9   09   CD   0D
0xD0    9A   10   11   11   0D   00   78   00   EB   03   F2   07   DB   09   94   0D
0xE0    4B   11   B3   11   08   00   00   20   03   40   06   60   09   80   0C   A0
   
The checksum only appears to be one byte. I don't know whats in 0xB1 through 0xC3.  So anything anyone can add about these would be  appreciated.  Also are there any other checksums that need to be updated?

Sorry for all the questions.  First time through this.
