Default New Instrument cluster installed

follow up to a post last week...thanks for the advice...I went with a salvage i/c from Shokan...dealer installed it for 150 bucks so the total was about 500 bucks including the tow far less than the 2k and four week wait I originally got from the dealer; many thanks again.

How did the "amount of miles driven" from the old unit get transferred into the new ?

According to Bentley, adaptation is only possible for an IC showing "less than 100km"

Default To prevent people from altering their mileage. Makes perfect sense, but isn't very forgiving... ;-)

Let's say you entered the wrong mileage by accident on your first try?

No big deal. Just replace the cluster, it's only ~$1300!!!
