OK, I've been searching the forums and I have a question on Cluster replacement. I have the dreaded dead pixel problem in the display and can't read the messages and part of the odometer mileage. I'm not sure I want to tackle the display, ribbon cable replacement, so I'm thinking of buying a cheapo cluster for about $75 and sending out my original cluster for repair.

We can't go without the car for even one day, so hence the temporary cluster replacement until the original is returned.

I know the tamper dot will appear on the temporary cluster but my question is what will happen when I replace the temp cluster with my original cluster after it's returned after repair? Since the VIN number will again be the same, will the mileage be replaced by the LCM or do I need to re-code due to avoid the tamper dot? Will the tamper dot even appear after I put the original cluster back? Any/all help is certainly appreciated!
