Known working VW Audi platforms

---

Whether or not kw1281test works with your modules will depend on which protocol they communicate inside your vehicle.

Best support is for instrument clusters made by VDO. There is support for some Bosch and Magneti Marelli instrument clusters as well.

Nota Bene:

• This is not an exhaustive list, and is a work in progress.
• Year ranges will have a NAR (North America Region) bias. Year ranges for other markets, if known, will be stated.
• Years mentioned aren't definitive, the part numbers with the same 2-character platform codes are a better indicator
• Different modules may use different protocols inside the same vehicle, thus only a subset of the modules in a given vehicle may work or available features may differ between modules. For example, the central electric module may use KW1281 while the radio uses KW2000.
• Protocols may vary based on vehicle configuration, thus communicating with a specific module may work in one vehicle but not in another of the same model (or available features may differ). For example, while the Audi concert II radio uses KW1281, the RNS-E infotainment system uses KW2000, yet both were available in the same models.

Terms:

• NAR - North America(n) Market -- US & Canada
• RoW - Rest of World -- some to all markets than Europe, and NAR
