Are you asking for help with NCS or help with coding a used cluster? Did you get one with less miles than your car had? If you can get it coded and have your VIN written to it, the odometer should roll forward to the last stored reading in the LKM. The issue is going to be writing your VIN. You should be able to at least code it with NCS, which may turn the DSC errors off, but used clusters cannot have their VIN or odometer changed using those tools. Also, you will get a manipulation dot next to the trip meter for installing a used cluster. New and coded by the dealer is the easiest way to get everything working again.

It is a used cluster which displays far more miles than what my car actually has but i dont care. I just want the car to work normal again. So all i have to so is change the vin on the cluster?

Changing the VIN is pretty involved. Here is some information I found. E53 cluster is identical.

The correct chassis should be coming from the EWS. What happens when you select it and proceed?
