Instrument cluster swap

login_user · 14-07-2008, 09:47 PM

Hi Guy's,
I have a w209 clk and i'm thinking of swapping the instrument cluster over to the white dialed AMG one. Is this just a straight swap or does it have to be programmed?

Thanks

If it's a complete cluster it needs to be programmed.

Can Alfie's lot (command) do this?

He should be able to as I guess it's SCN coding.

yep, should be straight forward, as said above, the cluster will need coding, anyone with STAR should be able to do this for you.

I seem to remember that sometimes cluster swaps cause a problem???? Maybe the mileage resets to zero??? Anyway I know that it isn't always plain sailing

if its a new cluster you should be ok, just dont drive around until without programming it as the cluster locks of you drive over 200K without having the milage set. if its a 2nd hand cluster, then you would have to get the milage ammended by one of those "Milage correction services" after programming the cluster to your car.
