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

.
I hope someone can help me here!
Best regards,
Karsten.
