Now I've got a fully working cluster that seems to have programmed itself to the rest of the car automatically. I'll try programming with NCS a bit later but suspect I'll get the same error as above.

Currently loading files needed for winkfp to program the correct VIN and VO to the cluster. Once that's complete, a tweak in production date within NCS (cluster was mfg. 5 years after my original cluster lol) and I should be able to program all features. Will update 1st post with a step-by-step guide if I do get it programmable.

Now to open it up and get that nasty '335is' lettering off...new faces and needles look cool though
I've been wanting to swap out my KOMBI (cluster) to a 335 one that has oil temp instead of instant MPG, who the heck cares about instant MPG? Very nice job!
