My Euro passat doesn't have fuse 11. And fuse 15 doesn't turn off the cluster (as in the fuel, temp, tachometer don't drop). Any specific other fuses? I've removed all the ones that look like cluster fuses on the fuse card, and nothing still. I'm probably going to have to wire up a second OBD port.
Any specific instructions for wiring up another OBD port? Like best place to join the wire from, etc?
You don't need another OBD port, just use the one you have. What you need to do it take the K-line from the ECU directly to the port and bypass everything else on the bus, like the cluster, to be able to log and flash with no issues.
Now I'm not saying what I did is correct, but the post below details how I tackled the problem. I was tired of pulling the fuse and messing around to log and flash and wanted a more permanent solution. I had the soldering iron out for another project and a few beers in me and this is what I came up with. It has worked flawlessly so far. I put the switch behind my fuse door in the trim panel for easy access. Want to log, switch to bypass. Want to scan something else on K-line, switch on normal. All you need is one double pole/double throw switch and some wire:
