Nope, kw1281test only works with cars that use K-line diagnostics and the A3 8P uses CAN bus: https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/canbus.php
I'm in the US so I don't have easy access to Seat and Skoda clusters. I've bought a few foreign clusters on eBay and that's helped me add support for those, but yours is one that I don't have. There's a "Sponsor this project" link on the kw1281test project page. Donations help me afford more clusters. I've been able to add support for all the ones I own (except for one pesky Audi TT cluster), but there's no way to tell whether I can add support for a cluster until I have at least one.

New release: https://github.com/gmenounos/kw1281test/releases/tag/v0.96-beta
kw1281test won't work with your car because it doesn't use a K-line for diagnostics. From the first page of this discussion:
) and I was hoping to do the same now. Unfortunately I spent the last 2 days trying to get the SKC without any success...Is this car Immo2 or Immo3? If it's Immo2 then the SKC isn't in the cluster - only in the ECU.I have a problem of my own trying to get the SKC for a cluster from my sisters Audi TT. Her old cluster is broken and I ordered a replacement cluster with the exact part number as the original. I did this trick before with a Passat B5 cluster (15 years ago
The details of the cluster are:
Part number: 8N1 919 880 E
Make: Magneti Marelli M73 D26
Year: 03 2000 (March 2000)
Is the odometer about 230048km? If so, try 02251 for the SKC and post whether it works or not.
The odometer is 230072 KM.
I just tried to log in using VCDS and this code is working! After I put in the code the key-immobilizer led stopt blinking on the dashboard. Assuming I can program the existing keys now. Thank you so much!
There's some software floating around called NYO4 that knows where the SKC and odometer live in a huge variety of clusters. You won't be able to use kw1281test to update your odometer even if you knew where it was in the dump because it doesn't support writing to Marelli (i.e. TT/Beetle) clusters.
Can you try this new release and see if the GetSKC command works?I just tried to log in using VCDS and this code is working! After I put in the code the key-immobilizer led stopt blinking on the dashboard. Assuming I can program the existing keys now. Thank you so much!
. I may be wrong but that’s how I’ve took it. And I’ve also seen the VAG KKL, which I have access to a laptop or computer whatever you want too call it. My questions are…) I’m no computer scientist by no means and quite frankly I don’t even know how too download the software for the VCDS
The knockoff ones don't work the same as the real vcds. They only work with cracked old versions of vcds or vcds-lite. The real vcds they do free updates and have support.I’ve been looking for a VCDS, I know Ross tech sells them but I can’t see paying 200$ for it (call me a cheap a** all you want) I seen them on Ali express and I’ve seen the threads about them have a “virus”. And I’ve also seen the obd eleven, I would like that because I wouldn’t need a laptop and I could just use my phone for it, but you have then pay for the description and in my time of reading about it all I can gather is you pretty much have to pay everytime you click on something
has anyone bought the hex v2 off of Ali express and used it and got any viruses from it and or does it work fine like if you were to buy it off of Ross tech.
What is the difference between the hex v2 and the VAG KKL, do they do the same thing?
even with my young age (16
Sorry for any misunderstandings this is way out of my brains reach and I can’t even wrap my head around how too use any of this stuff
Thank you in advance
There are two ways to get VCDS - buy it or steal it.
Works like charm! Gets the correct SKC now.
You will want the real full vcds for any coding. You cannot use vcds to delete the immobilizer, but can use it to program the immobilizer after pulling the skc with this software.
