Audi A4 B5 instrument cluster does not start at cold

[Naheem]

you will need adaptors cables to go with vag commander or vag tacho or VVDI2

I'm still struggling to get the login code of my old Magneti Marelli Jaeger K73 cluster.
The new VDO cluster was no problem by using VAG EEPROM programmer 1.9 but the SW does not work for Magneti Marelli unit.
I also found VAG commander 1.4 and extracted the EEPROMs of both clusters into bin files.
For VDO cluster there is also a way to get the login by using a HEX editor, the login pattern is repeated two or three times, but for Magneti Marelli the pattern location is somewhere else.
Does somebody know how to find the appropriate login from the EEPROM dump?
I will attach the extracted EEPROM.bin file. Extension. pdf to be deleted.
Thank you.

Could you tell me dashboard counter xxxx. miles / km

 

[Andy4]

Mileage when I did the EEPROM dump was 269356 or 269358km.

AWSOME!!!
I tried it today and it works.
My new cluster is installed and engine starts
Thanks so much!
Can you tell me how to get the login from the binary file?

There is no program which can extract pin from your file.
Your file is with size 64 KB.
What I did?
After play with HEX editor I exctracted part with size 2 KB.
With help from friend I gave you PIN

Do you have any recommendations or specs for which adapter cables work best? Thanks.

You can also try VAG EEPROM programmer for login pins.
