Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm new to this forum, so I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this.

I am a car enthusiast who collects instrument clusters and makes them function using my computer. I recently acquired a "2006 AUDI A8 D3 4E 3.0 TDI 4E0920950P" instrument cluster with the goal of getting it working. I have experience with CAN bus, K-bus, and LIN bus communication protocols, as I've worked on similar projects in recent years.

However, I'm not a magician or anything like that, so without any information, I can't make it work.

I would like to request your assistance with some wiring diagrams, and possibly CAN codes, if anyone among you (or someone you know) possesses that expertise.

Thank you for reading my first post on CANhack.de.

Zoltan K.

Hello Rainer!

Thank you for the quick information. icon_smile_thumb_up.gif

"Are there any available resources that list the CAN IDs and explain what each one represents?"

The search function is your friend. icon_smile.gif

Certain CAN IDs are also shared with other Audi models.
