2001 Audi Allroad Immobilizer trouble
Two weeks ago I replaced my 2002 Passat Wagon 4motion GLX with a 2001
Audi Allroad 2.7 Twin Turbo 6 speed. The only flaw the Audi has is the pixels in the center of the cluster. So I ventured out, found and bought a used Allroad cluster on ebay. Of course you know what comes next. I installed it (I own a Mercedes Shop) and the car wouldn't stay running. I googled the issue and found out that I have the immobilizer generation 3 and that only the Audi dealer can program these clusters. I called Checkered Flag in Virginia Beach, dead end, they refuse to install a "used cluster." Mad as hell I called the direct Audi of North America phone number in my paperwork. They told me installing a used cluster is at the discretion of each dealer and that they can't warranty parts I bring in myself. They finally gave me phone number to the nest dealer in my area which is Audi in Richmond VA (over an hour away) I called them and they are happy to assist me with the installation of the used one. Unreal, any thoughts on this ? --Martin Bartloff www.MartinBartloff.com |

2001 Audi Allroad Immobilizer trouble
Send me the cluster and I'll get the PIN from it. This is the problem, you need both PIN codes. The original to login, the one from the used cluster to "unmarry" the original. Both clusters have encrypted data that requires de-encryption to acquire the PIN codes. The ECM also holds the came PIN from the original cluster. The cluster that you got from eBay may have had the data corrupted and a defective LCD is at times a sign of that. Have a look at this: http://tinyurl.com/cmo4ta Since you're so adventurous, read and post the data from the 93C86 IC that's on the board. A simple programmer will read the SOIC chip and save the data in a file name of your choice. That's one way out of it. -- Ecmbuster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ecmbuster's Profile: http://www.audiforum.ca/member.php?userid=8686 View this thread: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=43021 |
