I just bought the cable from Amazon, $13. I am swapping my 2003 ALH Tdi into my 1990 Suzuki Samurai and have already narrowed down the harness, just need to turn off the immobilizer sinceI won't be running the cluster or keys. The cable comes with a little disc that I believe has the software on it. I will update this comment if it ends up working for me. Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks for another great video Josh. I have 2 x EDC16U31 ECU's out of a Touareg V10 on the bench. I don't have the Touareg. Is it possible to identify Master and Slave without connecting to diagnostics? One is noticeably more corroded than the other suggesting a more exposed mounting location if that is any help. Thanks again.
Wonder how hard it is to remove the led diode from inside the cluster to get rid of the flashing light. I got a busted cluster I might try to play around with to see what's up before I tamper with mine lol.
Hey, yeah immo defeat/immo off same thing. Disabling the immo in the file for engine swaps, ecu/clusters swap or in my case a lost key without the rfid chip.
My car audi a3 2002. year was stolen. I found and returned the car, but now the immobilizer light flashes constantly. The car can start with any key. The immo light flashes all the time while the engine is running. How do I fix this?
The immo will flash when the key doesn’t match the cluster, so I assume when you found it that it didn’t have the original key? I’m not familiar with the Audi line up but I know there is some programs where you can edit eeprom data and can get it to shut that light off among other cool options. Other options are turn immo back on and pair the key properly or just disassemble the cluster and put tape over the led.
Man, thank you for making this great video and explaining it in simple terms. I sent you an email for the software. Do you know what software would work on the 05 VW Beetles for IMMO Defeat? VCDS says theirs can't do IMMO delete. Thanks
Hi! I appreciate your time and skill, but should you do a checksum correction in EDC15Calc before you write the eep content to the ecu? I think you should. Maybe the VAG commander do the checksum correction by default when changes made in the eep or it will calculate the chks. during the writing... However, nice video.
@@edfriend7233 I’m not real familiar with the gas ecu’s but I believe they have to be removed and split as well as requiring a more expensive cable to read the eeprom
Hey this works on edc15 ecu’s which were found in 99-03 North American TDI’s. Gas cars and newer diesels use different ecus which this wouldn’t work with
Thanks for the info man! I work on a lot of vw’s and have for years but never had to do anything with the immobilizer and I have one coming in this week. I ordered the cable so hopefully it works looks super simple. Will this program work on a bunch of other years? And what else can you do with this software? Can you re write millage?
Send me an email (my address is somewhere in the comments on this video) and I can send some programs over. It says it’ll work on some gasser ecus but I’ve found it doesn’t, I just use it strictly for alh ecus. I’ve got a program that uses the same blue cable for cluster read/edit/write/cloning as well as another program that can do cool edits to the cluster eeprom. I haven’t done videos on these programs but they are fairly simple to use.

Hey Josh. What software are you running? Is it compatible with windows 10? I have a 2001 VW beetle and it is having issues with the immo. I want to turn it off. I found the cable on eBay and it comes with a disc. Does the disc comes with the software or with the cable drivers?
It really depends on what the cables advertised as, most come with just the required drivers but some are “vag-com” cables which are knock off vcds programs. Send my an email to joshthring21@live.ca and I can send the program, I use it on my windows 10 laptop
@@JoshsJettas real ones do work if they are the older models and you have vcp drivers from rosstech thats what i use just have to make sure in vcds setup boot in smart mode is off
Everything downloaded well? First time trying the shared google drive links. My paypal is joshthring21@outlook.com but don’t feel like you have to, the main reason for making these videos is trying to help keep these TDI’s on the road on a budget.
They’re LED so you have to desolder it or just put some tape over the inside. There’s also a program to edit the eeprom of the cluster that should work as well.
Why don’t you buy a inmo chip , programmed to the car and drill the screwdriver in the plastic a hole and put the chip inside with glue and not inmo light flashing 🤷♂️
This was mainly for demonstration purposes to use the ecu stand-alone in a swap. That’s an option but then you require another rfid chip, this program to pull the skc and vcds to program it. You can also edit the cluster eeprom in about 5 minutes to disable the flashing immo light and add a few other goodies.
Send me an email (its in the comment somewhere), If you have a legit vcds your going to need a blue cable yet and i dont think itll work with the rosstech one.
