I'm going to investigate the EEPROM stuff to see if there are some options. I'm pretty limited on knowledge when it comes to that stuff though. I did not have a change to test with the original W8 EEPROM.
Good news though, I did get the FIS Control to work by unplugging the radio and then forcing the can bus controller to re-scan for modules via vag-com. Restarting the cluster then allowed the FIS control to start working. I guess this didn't work the first time because I did not re-scan the can bus with the radio uninstalled. Unfortunately reconnecting the radio immediately disables the FIS Control.
Now I have another question... I want to eventually install a factory VW MFD Nav unit. Will I still be able to use the FIS control with that installed or will I have to remove that device from the can bus system as well?
Thanks again!
Interesting... do you know what clusters do not give higher priority to the can bus? Specific models?
I'm currently swapping over a cluster that was reprogrammed from W8 Passat to a MKIV with a new EEPROM flash. I'm wondering if there is something in the EEPROM that could be changed to prevent the 3 wire bus from being turned off.
Anyways, I'll disconnect the radio from the car and test again.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have been attempting to get FIS control to work on my 2003 MKIV GTI for the last few hours on my new cluster (not IMMO adapted yet) No matter what I try, or what coding I have placed in the cluster I cannot get the FIS control to display on the FIS screen. Current coding is 16234. I have no Nav installed but the factory Monsoon radio sends station info to the cluster and is displayed at the top.
The Up/Down/Reset buttons on the wiper stalk work when the cluster is directly connected to the car. However, once I install the FIS control adapters and plug in the FIS control, I cannot cycle through the screens anymore. The buttons are completely dead. I have checked the wiring adapters with a multi-meter and all connections are OK.
The FIS is available by bluetooth so I know it is getting power. I attempted to update to the most recent version with the android update app but all it does is connect to the FIS control. I waited over 15 minutes and the status did not change.
At this point I am out of ideas. Nothing works and it looks like I was shipped a bad FIS control box. 
Suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
