ATTENTION!!! When installing a color MFD, there are 3 most important points.1. You need to configure the power supply to 5.5v.The MFD operates at a voltage of 5.5v. When you connect the power supply to the MFDyou should make sure that the output of the contacts is 5.5v, otherwise it will damage the processor! Paragraph 182. It is necessary to cut the power paths going to the pins 23 24 25,then check that they are not voltage-free, you need to supply power to the clusterand check with a tester, one probe into the ground of the second to each pin 23 24 25. Should be 0v . Paragraph 103. You need to rinse all the soldering points. Install very carefully.After soldering the wires, it is essential to rinse the soldering points with special flushing agentsor isopropyl alcohol. During washing, do not allow alcohol to enter the display or under the display and its board! |
Bend all the latches neatly remove the front of the case with glass

1.2 Remove the needles.
There are 2 ways to do it:
-
scroll counter-clockwise and simultaneously pull it to yurself or
-
using using non sharp butter knives or spatula, shoot the arrows from their shafts.
Its better to put paper between the knives and the base of the device to avoid damaging it.
Pull the arrows up to yourself.
Then remove the substrate.
1.3 Cut the jumpers, we work carefully, so as not to damage the board.
It should look like this:
1.4 Remove the excess.
It is necessary to remove the display by gently heating the loop with which it is soldered to the board,
do not tear off the display as you can damage the dashboard board.
1.5 With the help of pliers, we bend the metal clamps restraining fullFIS display.
1.6 Remove the white diffuser.
There are visible white plastic latches, on the back of the board,
bend them with your fingers and take out the white plastic.
It was the basis of the old display.
1.7 Solder the plume of the standard display and remove it.
On some instrument panels, the plastic base of the OEM FIS is soldered to the board pretty hard,
to dismantle it — remove the tin, using a soldering iron and a special vacuum.
There is a temperature sensor in a fullFIS clusters. It can be removed with a soldering iron
or simply cut off the sensor tape in any convenient place, so that it does not interfere later.
1.8. Then you need to remove all the LEDs that are were under the standard display
FullFIS
We make sure that there are no jumpers made of tin.
After removing the LEDs, clean the board from tin residues and rinse with alcohol.
1.9 VERY IMPORTANT:
For instruments with a halfFIS or fullFIS installed, it is necessary to find and cut
tracks from the pins of the control of the standard FIS
on the board of the instrument panel (from the pins 23, 24, 25 of the green connector)
After need to check that the 23, 24, 25 pins were 0v
Below are photos from some instruments.
On your device, the tracks may be located elsewhere
For dash have noFIS, you just need to check that the 23, 24, 25 pins were 0v
OR
1.10. We start to build wires according to the table. Wires are cleaned of
Isolation and twisting, ludim and cut off excess.
1.11. Through the holes in the board of the device, we extend the wires to the blue
And green connectors.
2.3 Take the multimeter, set it to Diode (Ring) mode. Using multimeter and wiring diagram, find the wires you need and solder them to the connector pins. |

13. Using the tester, we find the wires we need and solder them to the feet connector according to the table.
2.4 Be sure to twist in a spiral the wires, which you will be connecting to CAN bus. Comfort CAN bus — 8 and 9 pins of Green connector;
|
![]() |
There are 2 ways to connect CAN bus wires. Choose what is convenient for you.
1-st way: solder the wires to to the pins of the green connector | 2-nd way: solder the wires to the points, indicated in the photo | ||

2.5 Lay the wires in such a way that they do not interfere with the installation of white Light diffuser.
Important!
You need to remove 3kOhm (302 or 3001) resistor from 36 pin of MFD board.
Or, after installation, you need to connect MFD to the Shell program and configure the low oil warning for the FullFIS cluster.

If you are the lucky owner of Passat B5, released for USA market, you have to add a few SMD resistors to the dashboard.
In clusters for the American market, there are no open hood and
oil level control resistors, and there are no oil level and temperature sensors in the engine sump.
2.7 The wires should be pulled from the back or as shown above.
Wires should not interfere with the assembly of the cluster.
So it’s not right!
2.8 Power connection
There are two types of power supplies

Attention!
Before installing the power supply, you need to solder the wires to its contacts IN+, IN- and OUT+, OUT- ,
then apply a current of 12V to IN+, IN- , and connect the OUT+, OUT- wires to the multimeter.
Now we need to tune the output current. Using a small flat screwdriver, you should rotate tuning resistor
clockwise, until you have 5.5V output voltage on the multimeter.
Next, we place the power supply on the cluster`s back board and bring wires from the blue connector to its contacts.
How to do this, look at the connection diagram specifically for your car model.
Choose the installation location of the power supply so that it does not interfere later in the assembly. For example:
Attention!
After wiring, lay it so that they do not interfere with further assembly.
Need to call all contacts and check on the table to avoid confusion anywhere.
2.9 Before assembly, check the functionality of the module in your car.
3. Assembly
After wiring, lay it so that they do not interfere with further assembly. Check wiring with multimeter, in Diode mode.
On the display, at the back, there is a piece of double-sided tape (if yours doesn`t have it, attach one). Don`t remove the protective film from it! We use it only as a support for the display!
Do not solder these wires! Pins 6 and 7 are spare. | ![]() |
3.1 Cut off Red USB wire, we don`t need it. | 3.2 USB cable should be fixed with glue. | ||
![]() |
![]() |
3.3 We take double-sided adhesive tape on a foamy basis, cut the squares 1cm X 1cm.
|
3.4 Collect these squares in 3 floors.
|
||
3.5 Place them so that nothing prevents you from mounting the module on the board.
|
3.6 Place the module so that it fits in the cluster`s window.
|
3.7 Cut off the main beam guide part. On the red line. Leave the semicircle. |
3.8 Cut off the protruding part! |
3.9 Install a white diffuser and cut off the excess (as shown in the picture).
Then place the display and align it so that it clearly fits into the cluster window.
3.10 IMPORTANT! For greater stability, after you have tried and calibrated it, fix its position with hot-melt adhesive.
3.11 Next, you need to glue the matte protective film so that the display does not glare in the sun.
Attention!
Be sure to stick the film!
Otherwise, the display may be damaged!
4. IMMO 2 If you have a 1J0 comfort unit installed. Or your car is Seat Leon 1M.

4.1 IMMO3 Cluster Installation in a vehicle with IMMO2
If you are installing IMMO 3 cluster in a car with 1J0 CCMS (comfort unit) — you shoul remove 2 resistors from the cluster board.
These resistors are coming from 8 and 9 pins of the green connector.
|
![]() |
4.2 If you are Installating IMMO3 cluster in a vehicle with IMMO2,
you should activate the ambient temperature sensor in the cluster`s EEprom.
Passat B5 You need to change 1ef from 08 to 01 line 0001E0 column F
|
Golf 4 Cluster 1J0920806G no fis no show temp in dispay You need to change 1e5 from 2B to 2F line 0001E0 column 5
|
Change 2B in 2F and work
I changed that one 1E0 column 6 from 2B to 2F and it works
5. BOOST
To connect the boost pressure control, You need to add pin 15 to the green connector.
The other end of the wire must be connected to the engine ECU.
According to the table below, you should find the signal wire of the boost sensor.
When the engine is idling, the voltage on the wire should be between 1.6 and 1.9 volts.
With an increase in RPM (engine speed), the voltage on this wire should increase.
Most often,
On diesel engines (AVB and others):
— 71st pint of ECU, green — red Wire (green with a red stripe);
On petrol (AWM and others):
— 101 pin of ECU, gray — blue wire (gray with a blue stripe).
In general, as I know, in all B5 diesel 1.9Turbo, supercharging is connected to the 71st pin,
And the gasoline 1.8T is connected to the 101 pin. The color of the wire can vary depending on the year / engine.
