Instrument cluster swap - immobilizer adaption error

[Dakota558]

I´m trying to replace the instrument cluster in my Octavia 2 with a new (used) one with maxi dot display. I managed to get the pin for both clusters, and I´m following a guide a found on another site (quite similar to what is described on Ross-tech: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer#Immobilizer_Generation_4).

 

On the adaption menu (10) under immobilzer menu (25), I´m supposed to wait until "immobilizer adaption active" changes to "immobilizer active", the go to channel 50 and enter the pin of the old cluster. When I press test, ERROR comes up under Test value and a message comes up saying "No response from controller".

 

I´m using version 14.10.2 of VCDS, and both pin codes are tested.

 

Any suggestions?

Any reason why you are using old software? (the latest release is 15.7.0)

No particular reason, it was the version available when I bought it from Ross Tech. I can try with the new version, but most likely that won't make any difference?

Using the latest version will probably get you more help, as the forum kinda works that way ;)

There is a related thread here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/110349-my-experience-of-pairing-new-keys-on-octavia2-with-vcds/

 

Otherwise, I'd be very tempted to put a post on the rosstech forum as I'm sure someone there will be able to help.

I've now tried with the newest version of VCDS with the same result. I've posted on the rosstech forums as well, hopefully someone will be able to tell whats going on. I'll post any results here when I get them.
