This makes logging my mileage difficult.

Is it better to send in or repair myself? If I send it in, is it possible to drive the car without the MID?
MID (multi-Function Information Display) is the unit in the center of the car, where "radio" station, CD Player etc. information appears.

This is the MID...



The text display under the speedometer and tachometer are part of the main cluster.



It's possible to drive with no MID unit.

It's not really possible to drive (much or far) with no cluster!

If you are having pixel issues with the main cluster, I'd send it out. I've fixed a MID display and it was bloody tough.
