The combination of is most famous—or infamous—for odometer correction. In many VAG clusters from the early 2000s (like the VDO generation), the mileage is stored in multiple locations within the 24C128 in a checksum-protected format. A generic OBD tool cannot alter this data. However, an advanced user can download the EEPROM dump, edit the hex values using software like VAG EEPROM Programmer 1.20 (a specific software version), recalculate the checksum, and write the modified data back to the chip. This same process is used legitimately to replace a damaged cluster, reset a “crash data” flag in an airbag module, or disable an immobilizer after an ECU swap.
