When You and Stacy talked Jim people listened. Just saying. 🙃

Just Cars was the highlight of my year.  I always looked forward to catching up with the great people that were the attendees, the Hetchler's  and the whole crew.
I am also reminded of those we have lost during the years since 2013.

SIK 6 cut kit is one of the best tools ever.  We made a set to use on normal 6 cut keyways besides b62av vats. Used it so many times over the years I have lost count.  

Feel free to call. It's been several years and that was the only VW cluster I've ever dealt with but I can try working through the cob webs in my brain. I'd say first compare my cluster pics to yours. They may be the same or completely different. Happy to help however I can.

Years ago, I had one on a 2000 VW Jetta I worked on.  Blown capacitor and burned up trace.  I used eeprom equipment to pull a .bin dump from the bad cluster and saved it to the eeprom on a donor cluster off ebay.  I'd imagine the process could be the same if you wanted to give it a go.  Otherwise, follow James' advice.  Touch up the solder joints and see if anything looks bad / wrong.
On mine, I shipped it to some place in Massachusetts but they declined and sent it back.  Full write up here if it helps any: 
 

I am interested in a group buy, depending on price.

With my manager/main tech away since December, full load everyday. Mid April will have them back and can spare time for this video.
Hyped up everybody here but will be worth it!!!

Keypro Team,
Hope all doing well.
Who all interested in stepping into the ECU/TCU Cloning/Virginizing/Reading/Writing Business?
I am looking to create a support group for those looking to buy the Flex tool and offer tips/hints/videos through me as I am the official distributor of their tools.
If you have local business who do transmission swaps for euro cars, or ecu swaps, the flex is a low investment high return tool to own.
You can also allow mail in service for these types of jobs and this is where it becomes lucrative once your name is out.
You have 2 versions of the Flex, Flex Master and Flex Slave. Flex Master is more expensive but gives you the raw data read, this is helpful when you want to modify data yourself, requires experience. Flex Slave on the other hand is a reasonable priced tool which reads the data and encrypts it, you would send the file to me to unlock, which then allows you to write back into a used module.
Flex Slave FULL version (ECU/TCU/OBD/BENCH/BOOT) - $3000
Flex Slave ECU OBD/BENCH - $2000
File unlock service $50/file
I'm planning to do an introduction video for the product and give an example on how to clone let's say a BMW N20 or N55 ECU which have common failures.

Here is one video on using the device.

If you need to shut the alarm off to program the key you can use this to find the door pad code and disarm it.

Look before you leap..
2019 Dodge Challenger Look in glove box.avi

FYI on these, 2 experiences both identical with Fleet trucks.
Both vehicles F350, NON transponder.
 
Customer ordered a re manufactured dash from Local ford dealer.
Dash shows up, they install will not start. Blinking theft light. Mileage, VIN etc are all already set and on a sticker on the side of the refurb clusters
 
What does NOT work to get these running
Programmable module installation - Copies data from old to new (I think?) acts exactly the same
Parameter reset - nope
Attempting to program transponder keys and just making it a transp car - nope
 
What does work -
Take out the APP, mileage adjustment, and just set the mileage right back to what it already had. Fired right up with the non transponder keys.
 
Not sure if the parameter reset was required or not - did them anyways prior on the second one.
 
 
Hopefully that saves someone some time.... the dash's ford is sending must all have the PATS enabled and for what ever reason setting the mileage while plugged into the vehicle seems to be turning it off.

Did you push the 'total system reset' button in the glove box?

OK so I was told DMax could not edit Vin in PCM so without trying I borrowed a friend's Maxisis 908 Pro and did it rather quickly cleared codes and Jeep started right up.
