Mileage seems to be possible w the bench tool, few people can/have done it.

Big Q is what's the probability that dealer can remove CP and code the immobilizer w the new approval procedure? ~$300 of labor
As long as it's a mod friendly dealer. Immo and cp is easy for them. Google should help you find a mod friendly dealer close to you. And call and explain what you want before you go. Coding is a different story. Chances are they won't touch any coding. When I had mine done they just did the immo and cp. I was on my own for coding

What dealer ended up doing this for you, if you don’t mind me asking?

right - already called and got a couple onboard. Risk is related to rules related to cp and immobilizer with a USED cluster (see quote above), need case-by-case authorization from vw. If gets denied I'm $300 in the hole and have to flip the used cluster...

Yep. Any forum-based coding provider (except a couple who have legitimate relationship with VAG) no longer offers to do the CP/immo work for used clusters as a result.

No.

New rules came into force a few weeks ago. All used clusters looking to be programmed must now receive preauthorisation from VAG.

ODIS will prompt the user to fill out a form and send it via email to VAG head office. Once reviewed and approved by a human (can take a while - up to 48 hours) ODIS will permit the change like normal.

If VAG disagree with what you're doing and deny the request, IMMO cannot be programmed.

Only authorised repairers with legit ODIS access can now program used clusters. The new process stops all of the people using China accounts.

I’ve heard good things about them.
My two interactions with them were great. Its a smaller dealer, and the techs i dealt with were enthusiasts.

So what coding do I need to change to be able increase and decrease the zoom on the map in the cluster?
And would I need to change my steering wheel buttons?

There is no zoom control. You can just press OK on the wheel to switch between the normal and enlarged view, instead of going into that menu like in your last pic.

If you have navigation active the map will dynamically zoom sometimes, when you're coming up on an exit off of the highway for example. It does at some other times too but there's no manual control of it.

I finally found a video with it but at the 6:00 minute mark you can see him adjusting his map.

Care to post up how to zoom then instead of just saying that it can be done? The question has been asked here before and the collective knowledge (at the time) was that it couldn't be done. If not, we do appreciate your input :rolleyes:.
