how do you access the hidden menu?? Sorry still new to these cars, still trying to figure out the phone. Thanks

Mr C

I think I should email it to a mod and have it in the "how-to's"
Guy, sorry I forgot to send the email. I was having a little too much fun with my Z32TT.

Please let us know when its posted...I would be interested in this DIY

The Cluster test does not help improve the pixel problems ...as far as my experience goes. At this point I have good and bad days...sometimes u can read something, while other times nothing.

However...If the car has been sitting in the driveway for 3 days...when I go start it all pixels work fine 100% ... but in a few hours they go back to 'normal' lmao

I also want to see this how to for a $50 fix.

Here is the PDF. Good Luck!

Those ribbons from eBay do work and iron helps. I fixed radio pixels in my E39. Tedious but works great. Nice couple hours project. If you somewhat familiar with working with electronics and have solder iron - it's easy DIY

I chose to complete the repiars to my cluster on my own with great results. I purchased a new ribbon cable online from a seller in Hungary. The cable was about $50 shipped and although the instrument cluster dissabsembly and repair was tedious, it was definitely worth it and a good project for a snowy day!

There is seller in US this days and it was like $20 for ribbon. Tedious but nice project for the evening

Please tell us which seller you purchased it from?
