AndyHolmes Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I recently bought an instrument cluster off e-bay due to mine having a fading DIS display, and all seemed ok until I tried to start the car. The immobiliser light flashes and the car will not start. Does anyone know if I can reprogramme the immobiliser (or key) as the display on this new cluster is perfect. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I think the dash needs to be coded to the ECU. Do a search on TSN http://www.tyresmoke.net/ubbthreads/search.php for this as I'm sure someone else did this with their polo. Welcome to TSN too!

AndyHolmes Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Thanks Sparky, Audi have quoted £160 + vat!! I think I'll maybe just re-advertise it, as it's just not worth that much to repair a fading display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I bet there is a simple way to rectify this! Have you tried to reprogramme your key? Do not know if that would help but it is worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Have you tried both keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyHolmes Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I only have one key unfortunately, so can't try reprogramming. I asked Audi this question but was told that it must be reprogrammed in the car by them (although they would say that). I'll try another dealer to get a second opinion and take it from there, thanks.

UBM Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 You really should INSIST on having two keys or I believe you can reject the car? There as a thread on here on Monday about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
