Hi,

I'm interested in taking an EEPROM dump of my instrument cluster as a backup. I have vag+k can commander 2.5 and also vagdashcom.

I also have a dumb FTDI cable that I use with nef flasher, I'm assuming I should be able to use this cable with either of the two above mentioned bits of software?

Is there anything I should be aware of before I take a copy of the data safety wise so I don't muck anything up.

TIA

Use EEPROM Programmer 1.19 with your FTDI cable and it'll work fine.

Or can commander with the FTDI cable, make sure its set to k-line.  Choose appropriate cluster and read.

I find 1.19 to be more reliable.

Awesome cheers Adam Smiley

I was worried as I heard the VDO clocks can be a pain. I was also told the dump would be encrypted? Not sure how true that is though

To add to my thread, i tried to get a read from the instrument cluster but was unable to get a complete read. the data would stop reading mid way through. Ive used VAG K+Can 2.5, VAG eeprom programmer 1.19 and VAG k pin reader. Is there any reason why i may not have been able to get a full read. Using a normal ftdi kkl cable.

here is the read i managed to get.

I tried to read my valleo immo 3 eeprom 24c04 with the vag eeprom programmer v1.19g but I can't seem to connect to anything with it...
I have a rosstech 12.12 Hex+can clone usb cable. The cable works without any problems for VCDS 12.12.3. But any other software I try doesn't work even with boot in intelligent mode unchecked...
I have the rosstech vcp drivers installed and loaded.
I tried in the eeprom programmer set on usb connection and com 1.
