Instrument Cluster Swapping (Used Cluster)
Prerequisites:
- The Coding from the OLD (original) cluster has been saved.
- The NEW (USED) cluster is installed in the car.
- Battery voltage at least 12.0 V.
- All relevant coding and adaptation values have been transferred from the OLD (ORIGINAL) cluster to the NEW (USED) cluster.
- Make sure to have the PIN for the NEW (USED) instrument cluster.
- Make sure to have the Radio Code (for factory radios only).
