WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- The "Adaptation" function must be performed for operating and display modules, Climatronic Control Module J255 as of hardware/software version "0711" for which the malfunction "Control module incorrect Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)" is displayed.
- New replacement operating and display modules, Climatronic Control Module J255 are supplied without VIN coding. The first time the ignition is switched on following installation, the VIN transmitted via the CAN-Bus comfort system is read into the operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255 (as of hardware/software version "0711") and stored (anti-theft protection).
- If an operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255 (as of hardware/software version "0711") is installed in a different vehicle (e.g. swapped over), the transmitted and stored VINs no longer coincide and the malfunction "Control module incorrect Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)" is stored in the operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255. Entering the PIN in the adaptation function erases the VIN stored in the operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255.
- The operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255 can only be adapted by entering the specified PIN.
