Next project Andy : find a way to have the M light turned on without the 500 HP
With the DTC on, for example, that will disappear (the M5 custer doesn't have it)

I mean this Alex:

D --> DS--> shift 1 up/down: --> M mode

so in this mode on my normal cluster it indicates M1, M2, M3 and so on...on the M5 cluster just big numbers 1,2,3 and so on.

No, it shows M1, M2, M3 like the OEM cluster as it is coded as being an OEM cluster.

The M5 cluster has a light for the P500 mode, green if I well remember .
But it doesn't have the DTC light because the M5 doesn't have the DTC mode (because it has the LSD) .
Would be fantastic see on the clusterr the M mode on when you activate the DTC mode

Does the M5 have the DTC mode ?
Or maybe they made the cluster similar to reduce costs .

I guess that all the clusters have the same lights but they lit differently from model to model.

This is what can lit on my car.

What happens on the cluster when do you press the DTC button ? Does that MDM turn on ?
Edit : and what when you remove completely the DSC ?
