no i did not, ill go out and reflash the file tonight and see what it says when i read the codes, ill check the codeing for the cluster as well. anyone happen to know the stock codeing on a 2003 S line?

sounds good. i have not reflashed it yet. but hope to after my meeting.

Reprogramming the EEPROM won't help. The immo in the car is still the same and the
data in the eeprom perfectly matches with the immo (as it did before).
The two images must be made for different immo versions. The original one matches with
the instrument clusters immo version, but the new image uses a different immo version and
therefore can't talk to the immo in the car. The immo data in the ME7's eeprom is stored
always at the same places, independent of the used immo version.
You can only disable the immo to run the new image. Or if you are a really good hacker, you
can replace all immo functions in the new image with the correct ones for your car  .

This has to be done in the eeprom, not in the flash. You need to dump the eeprom contents,
then program back with an update. The change would be specific for you, not useable in
general for other's. And your car will not be protected by the immo after this.

That would be a better way in my opinion, you never know what differences between
the two images are hidden and show up lateron only under certain operating conditions.
You can give most help to others if you have made all changes yourself (and can explain them).

Just in case anyone want to know, if found this info: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4756488-how-to-disable-turn-off-immo3.-make-your-ecu-swap-plug-and-play!&highlight=ecu+swap
I have read many times in other forums about immo 2 or 3 ECUs working with immo 3 clusters but not with old immo 2 clusters. I think that the case is by far more complicated with newer immo 4 or 5, according to my readings.
