Yes, used cluster.

I got your pm and the hint to convert the SMG to AUTO transmission is to change the HEX code: 86 86 (SMG) => 4E 4E (Auto) in the block memory 3003 of the kombi

Picx coming soon.
Could i ship this to you for a charge pm me back thanks

I think that this is great, and I really wish that I had paid more attention to computer science while I was at college.

The real test is whether or not your car's software can be updated at the dealership. Other people who have successfully changed clusters have indicated that they need to changeout the M5 cluster for updating. Since most of us won't be doing our own instrument cluster coding this will be something to be aware of prior to converting.

cool!, Thank you! I need to convert them into BIN language and try to write and find the block for that. I mean to have the real speed as standard when you start the car not thru OBC. I hope I can make it.

No, search for: FSW_PSW where you know.
