Immobilizer Question
How do I know if my car has the immobilzer feature?
I bought a used 2000 180QC from the dealership.
When I requested a second remote/key for the car
they said they had to program the key for the immobilzer. The manual says nothing about it and
there is no dash symbol.
$200 plus for a key???
I finally made them pay for it.

Re: Immobilizer Question ( Cluster)
Now that I know the car does not have the immobilizer installed, can I install an instrument
cluster without going to AUDI?
Heat guage is whacky...new sensor install didn't
help

you still need to get the odometer set and I think only the dealer's computer can do that.
You could always take it to an independent shop as well but as far as I know the tools that are available to us (VAG-Com and Prodiag) do not have access to this.

That would be nice to keep around...
I don't have an immobilizer either so it might prove useful. A friend of mine had a cluster swap done under warranty and they punched the mileage in wrong so he had to go back and get another one installed. It is definitely a one shot deal.
