Because I did not understand the ability of this company to match the specifications of this item without requiring additional programming at the installer, I almost cancelled the order. However once I was able to provide the specific identity of the failed item, they provided a literal drop in replacement product with no loss of data. The ECU treats the replacement as if it is the original.
Thanks for this detailed tutorial! Can I use just a soldering iron to desolder the old FIS display? Or a hot air dryer is critical for doing this? Is it worth spending money buying one just for this task?
I have Audi A4 B5 1997. LCD displays (main and two small on the dials) are black after start-up. When I start, the displays light up for a second, but then go out. Can you advise me on this problem? Thank you for help
tried 2 times already and the display does not turn on after soldering the contacts. I bought another display from aliexpress to try again. I also checked the contacts with a multimemer in case I accidentally bridged two of the contacts, and I did so I cleaned them and will try again.
Thank you for the video! I am going to attempt this. Very little solder experience. How did you get an interface cable to power the instrument cluster? I tried finding online the name of the interface cable + how to power it; I couldn't find anything. Did you salvage a connector and wire up a power device? Thank you!
HI, i would recommend not to do it by yourself if you have got only little solder experience. The chance is very high to destroy your instrument completely. I have seen it very often.
Hello, can you tell me the characteristics of the tin you use or the reference, thank you very much, the video is well mounted.
Hallo, ich nehme an, dass Sie den Tacho an eine 12V Quelle zum testen angeschlossen haben. Welche pins sind GND und ACC?
Ich könnte das auch am Kabelbaum am Auto aussmessen, aber ich will mir den Aufwand ersparen :D
Die Pinbelegung ist im Video
Pin 1, 23 plus pin 24 GND. You can also connect The K lines and diagnose the counter on the table
@@eurynomos2763 Dankeschön 😊

hello, please I need diagram to connect the counter on table for A4/B6/B7, thank you

Hi, hard to say. you can try a soldering iron. it should work normally. Just be careful
@@pixelfehlerhamburg9956 thanks! 👍🏻

Hi, maybe the CPU is defective
Hallo,
Wie ist das mit der Wegfahrsperre? Würde diese Probleme machen beim Aus und Einbau des Tachos?
Normalerweise nicht.
Is it necessary to calibrate the dials after reinstallation in the car?
if you do it properly on the bench... no
Hello,
I have the same issue but in my Passat B5 there is no light at all.
Do you think it needs to be changed too?
No lights at all is not a common error. i don´t think that is an lcd problem

were you able to solve the problem?
@@tomasguerra4980 yes i just had to use leaded solder and press harder with the soldering iron.

@@pixelfehlerhamburg9956 You won't tell me how you interfaced it without a car though?
Such an interface ja easy to do 😃👍
@@BrandonKastning I went to a scrapyard and cut it from a car there.
Täuscht es oder hat das Display einen blauen Schimmer? Sieht das nicht im Fahrzeug komisch aus?
Hi, das täuscht. Blau ist da nichts
Pin 1,23 plus - ok pin 31 - GND? Are you sure? You probably meant pin 24 (terminal 31) GND
Yes you are right. We made month ago a pin setting update. in the right corner is a button normally
