So Its not as straight forward as swapping in 4.8iS cluster into LCI 4.4i (with high cluster) for me, and having gauges all working.
I swapped hardware and upon turning key on the RPM lights aren't working and neither is oil pressure (car was just turned off so engine was hot, and i eve started x5 to see iff gauge worked but sadly neither did).
Of course the tamper dot and mileage (less than my vehicle actually has) and VIN all need to be corrected through PASoft (i cant seem to find another software that will do it, and that sucks as i don't have a cable for PASoft, but I do for every other software on my bmw laptop (insert disappoitment here).
At least i could verrify every pixel and light bulb worked
so, I guess I have to buy the PASoft cable and then learn to use that software to install this cluster...but shouldnt the RPM leds work already?
this e46 post has a nice how to guide for using PASoft. first pst in thread.
