Is this for the earlier white screen DIS clusters? Or non S/RS models etc?
Just wondering why it is kept secret? Are people making money from selling the info or something?
What tool (software) did you use to extract and flash the EEPROM?
I ordered the programmer hardware, just not sure how to extract and flash the software.
Lap Timer
Address 00000060 and bit 5 should be on
Needle Sweep
Address 00000061 and bit 2 should be on
So perhaps it's address 00000062 that is for the boost/oil, or it could be a different bit on address 00000060.
I believe we have the same cluster, I have the 8P0 920 931 T
I don't understand this secrecy regarding automotive on forums tbh.
Edit:
Here is another thread with some more information.
No offense, but that thread isn't clear either. Oswald says it's address 60, 61, and 62, but he doesn't mention which bits you have to flip.
Looking at this post, it seems like 2010+ clusters can do boost/oil pressure, but it's again unclear. My cluster is from 2008. To be honest, don't expect that year numbers are accurate, part numbers should be (although, an example where year numbers should be accurate are the interface box for the Bluetooth addon).
Regarding 'secrecy', I see tons of forums that have this toxic behavior of "like and rep for password". I don't see the point why people aren't willing to help others and hide the knowledge behind internet reputation points (gladly not a paywall). I am glad that this is one of the better forums out there.
So far I only found S3 EEPROM dumps. Odd thing is that the "staging on" version isn't different in addresses 60, 61 and 62. I believe they mean needle sweep with staging.You can use a VCDS cable in dumb mode and Vag EEPROM Programmer 1.19 to read and write the cluster eeprom. VCDS software wont let you and I need to check VCP but I dont think that will either.
Im going to read mine again and have a good look around. I agree, that link isnt much use and its the most useful one I have found so far. It must be around 62 because thats where most of the settings are.
Maybe if I could get an RS3 eeprom dump i could do some comparisons. I dont see any need for the secrecy cus people are happy to hand out needle sweep and lap timer bits.

Ok I get you now.Pointer test / pointer rash / activate staging
Aka needle sweep
Yes I have one of those but id rather go through obd, a lot less risk. Especially when connecting directly onto a chip.A couple of days ago I ordered the EEPROM programmer to use the method shown here, but I'll try tonight with my HEX-V2 cable and VAG EEPROM programmer v1.19.
Go into settings in vcds and uncheck boot in intelligent mode or check forced dumb mode. Close vcds, reopen it, check settings and close againMine is a clone, not an original. It's also not the STM version of the HEX-V2 (wasn't manufactured at the time. I have the ATMega162 version). The STM version supports the new extended UDS protocols (but that's not an issue for our generation).
How do you boot it into dump mode?
Be very careful using the clip because if you do not put pin1 on clip onto pin1 on the board, youll fry the chip.I ordered the same clip-type programmer but from AliExpress (color: 1 set).
Paying nearly 20 euros is insane (and add the import fees because the UK left the EU. I already paid 10 euros for the interface box to get Bluetooth support).
Guess I'll wait. In the meantime, scout the web for more information. It is a shame that all those YouTube videos showing the features don't show how it's done (in the description) and the comment section is as useful as asking the dealer, or you see an answer as "You have to read the EEPROM".
no vcp will not read the cluster eeprom, even though it is perfectly capableIs this possible with vcp?

I have come up with a working method but it only displays a temperature when its over 60°c. Im seeing if i can work a fix up for it.I'd love to be able to do this on my 2012 S3, if you guys work out how to do it please share, I check my oil temps by going into the menu check option but this would be miles better.
I think that's because the sensor can't read below 60 deg. It's the same on the 8v models.I have come up with a working method but it only displays a temperature when its over 60°c. Im seeing if i can work a fix up for it.

Hi FPS sorry for the ultra late reply.Hey @IPG
Would you be so kind to share the steps you took and share your EEPROM data and micronas dump?
Which cluster model number do you have and does it have the silver accents on the needles or are the central caps black?
