ecproductions143 is on a distinguished road
What they have done is taken the original cluster out and replaced with with a higher miles. The only way to get everything working correctly is to purchase a BRAND NEW ONE from the dealer . They will NOT recode a used cluster I dunno if they can and they just wont but THEY DONT. I dissasembled my cluster to fix the cluster pixel problem and I messed up my needles and really screwed up the cluster. I found a guy in Baltimore who is goin to use my main brain out of my cluster to keep my tamper light from comming on and so my miles will be correct he is useing the used clused i bought for parts to get me one working cluster its costing me $300 to have everythign fixed including pixels. but he is keeping the other cluster for parts which is a hellva deal verses BMW wanting about $1200


Just some advice DO NOT TRY TO FIX THIS YOURSELF. the part that needs to be repaired is the ribbon between the lcd and the motherboard And I can not find anyone to sell me the ribbon cable. This is a very teedius job and I would not recommend it as the ribbon cable is made of paper and cant be fixed and its the culprit of the problem
