is there away to put the vin number back to the org vin that should be in the cluster. odis adpt the vin number the wrong way taking the vin from used ecu and putting in to cluster. i am trying to get the vin back to what it should be. is avid the only tool that can do this?

Hi,


The immo data (which includes VIN) is stored encrypted in eeprom (24C64) for these clusters.
So you need proper tools to be able to read/write immo, and it can only be done by canbus/OBD.

Don't forget changing only VIN itself is not sufficient depending on what you're trying to achieve.
If this is a donor cluster then you need to read full immo (VIN, PIN, CS, MAC, PC) from orig cluster and write to this one.

If you have a VCDS (clone) cable based on FTDI driver then I might be able to help you remotely, but first it's best to explain what you really want to accomplish.

Car does not run. And only the vin changed in the cluster but the key will not program as well now for some reason
