On my 2006 Audi A6, the center display starts slow when cold outside(it takes 1-2-3 minutes, depending how cold it is here in South Florida ). I noticed it happens in the morning only. In summer (or over 80F) it comes on normal. Is it hard to replace or fix? What is the part number?

Before you start throwing parts at the problem take a look at getting a full diagnostic log via a vcds Ross-Tech cable and that should give you additional insight.
I found a new console at a U pull it yard for 30 bucks. Not sure if it works as is or needs to be reprogrammed.
I finally found some time to replace the the instrument cluster with the one I got from an accidented A6. The car starts but the digital display shows SAFE now. I also noticed the mileage is 165k, and not 80k I currently have. I assume the instrument cluster stored the car mileage. Can it be reset to the current mileage?
also, how do I get rid of the SAFE and other various lights which are ON on the new display?
I put back my old display until I figure it out, but any help is really appreciated.

I put back the old one and now it seems to work fine.
I switched the display between the 2 units and both displays work fine. I noticed one display (older one 2006) has 3 pins and the newer one (2008) only 2. Most likely the issue is not the display but the computer / capacitor that controls the display.
after I installed all parts back I have no air from the center vents. Initially there was no air from the driver vent as well, but it came back once I activated the Econ mode. Center vents still don’t work. I double checked if I connected all wires. this worked fine before I removed it.
how can I reset the AC without a VAGCOM? Do you thing this might help?
You have this problem: link
It's a cheap fix when you have to two components, and if you're able to get the soldering done yourself or by someone else.
Thanks. I tried to replace the bad one from my board with another one from another board, but unfortunately i broke one of the pins while removing the good one. I got a new board junk yard and I'll try again. Hopefully i make it this time.
