The cluster must be coded 23232 instead of 07232
From Eric's original post
All of the functions for mesurement are based on the country code that you select when in your basic programming. There is a 5 digit code that sets the basic program of the cluster.
Example 07232
The first 2 digits tell the cluster what options you have. IE- brake pad inticator, Low coolant, Etc.
The 3rd Digit is the Country Code.
1 - ECE
2 - USA
3 - Canada
4 - UK
5 - Saudi Arabia
The 4th Digit is for Service Interval, we in the US don't have one so it is set to 3.
the 5th digit is for the pulse constant for the speedometer. This is set depending on what engine/Transmission combination you have.
The County Code's do the following.
1 - ECE: 24-Hour Time, Milage in KM, Fuel in Liters, Outside temparate in Cel. , No buzzer when door is and keys are in ignition, Default Language is German.
2 - USA: 12 Hour time, Milage in Miles, Fuel in US Gallons, Outside Temparature in F. , Open Door Buzzer, Default Language is English.
3 - Canada: 12 Hour Time, Milage in KM, Fuel in Liters, Outside temp in C Default Language is English.
4 - UK: 24 Hour Time, Milage in Miles. Fule in IMPERIAL Gallons, Outside temp in C. Language is English.
5 - SA: Not Idea... Didn't try it
Radio Coding
56- Radio: – KWP1281
VAG-COM appears to work fine.
Radio Recoding:
[Select]
[56 - Radio]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]
Look at the first two digits in the coding (sound field tuning):
00 - All models with Premium VI w/o Multifunction Steering Wheel
01 - Golf/GTI
02 - Jetta
03 - Jetta Wagon
04 - All models with Premium VI with Multifunction Steering Wheel
06 - New Beetle
Look at the third digit in the coding (radio/speaker system):
0 - Premium V or Premium VI (Monsoon)
4 - Premium IV, Premium V, or Premium VI (non-Monsoon)
Look at the fourth digit in the coding (sound correction):
0 - Premium IV, Premium V, or Premium VI (non-Monsoon)
3 - Premium V (Monsoon) 2-door or Premium VI (Monsoon)
4 - Premium V (Monsoon) 4-door
Look at the fifth digit in the coding (CD player/changer):
1 - Without CD Player/Changer
3 - With CD Player/Changer
So, if you have a 2-door GTI with Monsoon and a CD changer, 01,0,3,3 = 01033.
Brian, Eric hooked up his former Bora to the VW tool and went through the fault-finding procedure. It inserted the code 00027. That's what my car is also coded to since Chris and I both have NAVI with DSP.
