[QUOTE="huskar3399, post: 667656, member: 25472"] How i reprogrammed newly installed cluster on my e39 the other night i replaced my on board cluster with a used one bought from ebay. the cluster i understand was taken out from a manual 99 e39 523i which different from my auto 525i version. the part numbers are different between the two clusters but the sockets & pins look similar so i tried my luck. the reason why i replaced my obc was mainly because the coolant temperature needle went bad.
