Hi,last weekend I replaced my Cluster (miniDot / Non-FIS) to an used maxiDot / FIS Cluster. Te process of cluster matching ended OK, but first attempt on matching keys failed.

First Time Instrument Cluster:

grp1 YES

grp3 0 0 0 0

Later times (now):

grp1 YES

grp3 0 0 0 3

I have no errors on Autoscan, car works, but the immo yellow led light is blinking

Please can you help me?

I believe you'll need a lot more than VCDS to retro-fit Maxidot clusters due to the immobiliser needing coding to the car (or something like that).

Eddie_NL on this forum is the man to ask.

If you're anywhere near Great Yarmouth it'll be worth going to see him.

I'm from spain, not easy to meet Eddie-NL, but maybe he can help me:

- I need to match keys from zero? Austoscan says no error, and car starts and immo works...

Or

- I need to start from unplug clister and repeat all cluster + key matching

My car is a pre-facelift, according to ross-tech I need only VCDS and newer cluster pin. I have vag commander 5.1 but I don't know how to match keyswith It.

NOTE: I oppened another post asking for an facelift immo, It's not for me, It'sfor a friend who also bought an used cluster and is trying to setup. Both are worried because It's not as easy as other VCDS tricks.

Wow!

I thought it was much more than VCDS that was needed. Obviously not with certain equipment & conditions.

Afraid I can't help. But I'm very interested in the outcome and how you solve the issues.

Good luck.

Either PM Ed or wait with crossed fingers that he'll spot this and respond.

Solved !!!!

The problem was about key matching process:

- I had diferent messages on FIS when key was turned on (seatbelt warning and service remainder)

- During key matching, led didn't switch off indicating that it was all ok, due to this annoying messages on FIS (I hope)

Then:

1. Fastened seatbealt

2. Set Service Remainder to 0 on vcds

---> no messages on FIS (only immo not adapted)

3. Started key matching as described on rosstech

And finally solved !

If someone is interested, I discovered something about measuring blocks screen on Immo module (see previous picture). The screen showed a "3" only when key was turned on, but changes to 0-no error, when key was removed ---> great thing, because VCDS continues retrieving data without key turned on
