Not sure. You'll have to try and let us know if it works.

Unsupported cluster: 5J0920810C KOMBIINSTR. V2823466

Not supported for now. If I can find a cheap one on eBay, maybe I can add support...

Hi, I’m using a blue KKL cable and can connect to the 1J5920826CX cluster without issues – I can read the PIN and EEPROM. But I’m having trouble connecting to the CCM 1C0959799B. For example, when I run:

kw1281test COM1 9600 46 ReadEeprom 04361

I always get the same error, regardless of the baud rate. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Controller did not wake up.
- Are you using a supported cable?
- Is the cable plugged in and any necessary drivers installed?
- Is the ignition on?
- Is the controller address correct?
- Is the baud rate correct (unexpected sync byte errors)? Try 10400, 9600, 4
800.
You can try other software (e.g. VCDS-Lite) to verify that the cable/drivers/add
ress are ok.

Download VCDS-Lite and see if it can connect to your CCM. If it can't then kw1281test won't be able to either.

In VCDS-Lite I can connect to the CCM, but the connection drops and disconnects, so maybe it's the cable's fault? Although I can connect to the instrument cluster. Strange. Would such a cable be suitable? https://de.aliexpress.com I have Windows 10 or 7.

I would recommend trying Windows 10. kw1281test is written using .NET 9, which isn't supported on Windows 7.

@Stoikoki Well, good news, bad news. The good news is that I found a cheap one on eBay and it only took about a week to get here (from Luxembourg!) and I've released a new version that supports it. The bad news is that you can only access the EEPROM if the cluster has less than 100km on the odometer or if the odometer value is corrupt (display shows "Error"). If you have an EEPROM programmer (e.g. EZP2019), I can explain how to change a few values in the EEPROM that will allow kw1281test to access the EEPROM (so you only need to open up the cluster once).

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get the SKC code on a New Beetle 1.6 Petrol 2007.
I got the dreaded "Unsupported Marelli cluster version." and then did the 2 suggested commands:
kw1281test COM4 9600 17 DumpMarelliMem 3072 1024
kw1281test COM4 9600 17 DumpMarelliMem 14336 2048
The second command returned timeout, but the first one had partial success. I saw the dashboard blink and it made a short sound.
Here is the log from the first command (the partial success):

Hope someone can help with advice.
I'm fine with technical stuff and willing to dig into the issue. If needed, I can take out the cluster, get to the board and do some soldering/desoldering and connecting to a programmer (if not too expensive to buy the programmer).
