does instrument cluster need to be virginized if mileage is LESS than car?
hi:
I'm looking to upgrade my basic kombi IC for the more full featured one. My question here is simple: If the mileage on the (used) upgrade cluster is lower than the cluster in my car, do I still need to virginize it? I THINK the answer is yes, because the VIN is also stored and it will cause issues - can anyone confirm? Thanks, Dave |

I think what'll happen is you'll get the "tamper dot" in the LCD. The car's mileage is stored in the key fob and in the lighting control unit (LKM). If there's a mismatch the tamper dot gets illuminated.
