I have a 2005 MK4 Jetta 2.0 and am trying to install an MFA gauge cluster out of a 2005 GLI. So they're both imm3. I have the SKC off of both clusters. I got everything for the MFA wired properly, but it's just the programming I'm having issues with. We're using a registered version of VCDS-lite with an ebay cable.

When the new cluster is installed and I go to 17 - Instruments, it let's me log in just fine with the new cluster SKC (0xxxx). But it won't let me do anything past that. The immobilizer light will continue blinking after I log into the cluster, then I go to Channel 50 and everything seems normal and I can enter the old SKC to try to adapt the cluster to it. But when I click "Do It!" it just comes back with an error "SYSTEM NOT OK". It won't let me program the soft coding from the old cluster either. The old clusters soft coding was 15232 and the new one is 15230. Any time I try to recode to 15232 it seems to go through with no errors but when the Instrument page reloads it still shows the old soft coding. Nothing seems to go through on the cluster and I can't understand why.

I read on one guide to check the cluster for fault codes, and to clear them, but a immobilizer code should always come back. I remember an immobilizer code when I first checked codes but it never came back and it still hasn't come back...

This is what it looks like when I check measuring blocks 23 & 24. As well as the error I get when trying to program the SKC. Notice the immobilizer status is at 6. I was told it should be at 4. Looking at (http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/car...ng-blocks.html) they say 6 means it's operating as normal and the immobilizer has been adapted? It's always at 6 whether I'm logged into the cluster or not.





I have the EEPROM dumps off of both clusters, I saw somewhere that someone was able to transfer his key/immo/skc/vin from the old eeprom to the new one? Is that easily do able?


I need some insight so someone please help cause I have no idea why this isn't working lol, sorry for the long post but I tried to be as descriptive as possible lol. I'm wondering if it's because I'm trying to program a 1.8t cluster to a 2.0 car?

No it isn't everything is as is from the factory on the ECU. When I put the new cluster in and turn the key to the on position the "Immo. Activated" message comes up on the MFA screen. I thought recoding the SKC on the cluster followed by adapting my keys to the cluster would take care of that? Obviously if my immobilizer was defeated on the ECU I wouldn't be having this problem, but I'm trying not to do that for now, haha.

Go into the CANBUS module.

put in the coding from the original cluster. If its the same you still have to re-do it. Don't just leave it. Actually re type it in and press do it.
Then do the adaptation.
recoding the canbus always allows me to adapt a GLI/GTI cluster to a lesser model car.

Post both files.

Let me know.
Did this while going out the door.

Your welcome

It's easy, just compare old and new fixed bin. He has moved Car Key Codes, Immo ID, Immo Code, Vin, SKC, Mileage
