I want to install an instrument cluster from an S4 into my Audi A4 (built in December 1999) because I don't have a FIS (Factory Information System) yet.
Unfortunately, the engine is not starting, even after adjusting the key (the WFS light has gone out), or it turns off again after 2 seconds.

The error log indicates: Engine control unit locked.

Is the combination device faulty, or is something else that needs to be adjusted?
I coded the combination meter to 00062 (6-cylinder gasoline engine). Originally, it was set to 00064.

'My station wagon has a production date of 11/1999, while the S4 has a production date of 02/2000, so it should theoretically match. Could it be due to wiring issues or a missing CAN bus? Perhaps the engine control unit isn't receiving information from the WFS (whatever that is)?'
I certainly don't know what to do next icon_sad.gif.
I hope someone can help me here!


Best regards,
Karsten.

You forgot to introduce the engine control unit and the instrument cluster to each other.

I think so too icon_smile.gif. Can you tell me how to do that?
I followed the instructions from audi4ever.at, and there was nothing further mentioned about that topic there.

Best regards,
Karsten.

How do I get the login code?

Simply ask the dealer.
Is he allowed to release that?

It is calculated based on the dealer number and the date.

My dealer won't give them to me!
And also, he says that it wouldn't work with used items at all!
I have to buy a brand new device because the old one was already permanently attached to a car!

Huh????

Du meinst den schritt nr 10 ? Correct?
Do I also need the 7-digit PIN for this, or can it be done without it?
Because I left a key configured for the new device!


'PS: ...within one minute...' Does this mean to restart the ignition within one minute, or wait for a minute before restarting it?

I just read and saved channel 00, as described in section 10.
However, it didn't change anything. Of course, I don't have a login code, but it didn't give me any message saying that it required one. Or do I need to log in using the first button on the right side before anything will happen with the other buttons? (VAG-Com)

Here are a few more screenshots:

Please help me!
