MKIV Cluster Mods (Software Based)

[balkanac]

Bit confused by some of the comments here?
Did the NZ R32's not come with cruise?
And why does the cruise light not light up when you activate your cruise control? is that something common with the GTIs and other Mk4 Golfs because I get a light on the dash when I enable my cruise control.
For me the only real useful feature is the enable distance to empty in the trip computer.

Same as mine. i already have the USB cable, i wonder if i can get the S/W somewhere else something to do when i get home

Nice find! Ill have to look into this i rection. I bought the auto window up/sunroof close on lock module from ebay a few months back. Cost me $40 with delivery. Its a use once only module and plugs straight into your Vagcom plug. Takes about a minute to complete. Best wank option ive ever bought!

hey Nashan, where off ebay did you get this? what did you search for? Im having trouble finding it. All got is a wiring kit for cars that dont have an auto option

DTE Changes

To enable DTE I assume you use the cable and the software on a laptop to make the changes. Are the changes enabled via a menu or are there instructions on what values to program into the Prom, or do you need to know assembler? BTW, where is the port located to plug the USB cable into, under the dash?

Thanks for posting this!

[chris.]

hopefully one day i can upgrade to the instrument cluster with the Fullsized red display!

where can you get those clusters from ive been looking around and cant find them??

[Nafen]

Any further info on this?
Wouldnt mind switching on the DTE if possible.

Can someone tell me what MKIVs did and didn't come with the small red section at the bottom of the cluster? [The part with petrol/ambient temp etc] Mine's a 2000 GTI and doesn't have it - it'd be nice if it was just a dead globe but I don't have the buttons on the end of my wiper stalk to scroll through the options

Mate that means you dont have a trip computer.
They come out in 2001.5 Golfs.

holey crap this is funny sorry

but Glidns old alias was Dubbed

and im reading your message going wtf are you on about dude.. i fitted in a Immo3 MFA in the weekend and enabled distance to empty and **** like that!

sorry lol

you can upgrade your car easy as

just need to do a little bit of wiring there are guides to it on the tex

just get the VAG TACHO software and get a second hand immo3 cluster

(they are way better more feature ritch but are a little harder to get working initially!)

Distance to empty is only available on Immobiliser3 clusters

ie

Glidns car had an imobiliser 2 cluster

1J0 902 821 A

so i got him a immobiliser 3 cluster which was

1J0 902 826 A

If the number in red is a 2 it means it has a half height display if the number in red is a 4 it means its is a full height display if it is a 0? or a 1 i think its no display

and the number 6 at the end means its immo3 if it was 1 or 5 it is immo2

make sense?

you need vag tacho to do the EEProm dump from the cluster

then you go to address $416 and replace the byte "C1" to "E1" save it and then re flash it

you can also do the needle light up mods etc

now i have changed mine so that the needles are always lit and then the cluster lights right up when the headlights are on
