Resetting it to 15000/365 days can be done via the MFD menu in my case as well. I have to set it to a particular value which was as per the reminder from the stock cluster. Can this be done via VCDS?

Ideally it should work, it works in my car from the steering and the side stick as well, I am unsure why his is not working.

From the controls on the left spoke?

Oh I thought you have the R-line steering, apologies for the confusion.

I haven't done it myself yet but have read somewhere that it is possible through VCDS. Will have to look deeper to find out how it is done, or else you can contact Sugesh. He should be able to guide you if any problems.

I bought the new VW Polo, 2014 facelift model. I am planning to upgrade the cluster to Maxidot.
I have access to VCDS but i don't have Immobiliser pin reader/writer.
I don't want to spend a lot on the tool but want something that i can use in future.
Please suggest me some good and inexpensive tool to read and write the Immo pin.

[Gannu_1]

Forgot to mention.

I had released the parking brake but that last bit was still not released and the car was gradually accelerating. Noticed that in addition to the red warning light on the cluster, the MFD throws a message: Release parking brake!

Neat touch.

I really have no idea about this anarchy_99. Really sorry about that. I was exactly in the same boat when I chose to do the upgrade. I could have sourced the GTI cluster from abroad but there was no way the immobiliser pin could be read from the old cluster and written into the new one. Thus, Vagtune was the only go. I am sure there may be other VAG based FNGs who can do this but do check out in your locality if there's any.

My cluster is on its way. How much do you think Sugesh will charge for just reading and writing the new immobilizer pin? I can send both clusters to him once I get my new one.
Also, have spoken in VW. They said they might be able to help if it's an easy fit.

No clue Frank. Best to have a word with him regarding this.

VW service centers can adapt the new clusters with the immobiliser and the keys. That's what they do when the stock clusters go bad and they need to install a new one in the car.

[frankmehta]

I'm just hoping my cluster can be fitted by VW itself.

Meanwhile.....

Frank,
Did you manage to get this done?
I've ordered maxidot cluster in UK and will be picking it up shortly for installing in my Vento. Please share your experiences with VW service on this.

Actually they did try to fit it for me. But my cluster was a used one
Also, the no of miles on it couldn't be reset.
NEVER buy a used cluster. The current option is only vagtune.

Thanks for the swift response.
I thought SRI reset option was available as shown here.

[frankmehta]

Nope. That's not the one to reset the ODO. Even vw dealers don't have options to "clock" the newer cars.

Just picked up a Polo GT TSI and was wondering that if the coolant sensor is now there since 2014, does that mean that the GTI cluster would be a straight swap for my car then? No extra wires to turn off the coolant level sensor?
