zimzimmer46 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Im gonna need a new cluster :-( just slighty cracked the led glass thingy for the part where u c "D" "SD" so I have pixels missing. Great if I can just find that part but very much doubt it :-( If I get a new cluster then the tamper will show unless I find 1 with a little more mileage. So is anyone on here can code a new 1 ??? Or could I just buy a crapy 1 and take the part off I need which is just that little screen What u thinks guy cheers pp4811 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 You could be tempted to buy PA soft and do it but you can't unless your car is a really early E46 (pre 2000 I think). Most of the clusters have a M35080 memory chip in them which you can't program with PA soft. I'm not sure if you can do it with NCS Expert but if you can, it will probably be really difficult. My advice would be to find another cluster and use the display from that to solder to your current damaged one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 You can do it with NCS if you know what your doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 You can do it with NCS if you know what your doing! I'm not so sure tbh. I think the only way you can do it is by desoldering your original M35080 eeprom and soldering it to the new cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimzimmer46 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'm probably just better off finding a cheap cluster and taking the screen off of it tbh :-) I should imagine the screen works the same as man & auto ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the bit where it says P/R/N/D etc, the clusters for manual cars don't have that screen at all?

zimzimmer46 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 The reason I broke it is I was bored today so decided to colour my needles red lol But not even sure I like it pmsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 tamper dot can be set to not active in NCS AUSTAUSCHPUNKT USED PART INDICATION (MILEAGE TAMPER DOT) from aktiv to nicht_aktiv although this just masks the issue, and does not code the cluster to the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 IIRC Miniimperial can do it as Im sure he had thread up about it and he has done it. Can't do it on post 2000 cars with the M35080 eeprom.
