Ever since I got my M3 cluster I haven’t been able to set the time on it. Additionally, I can’t toggle between the display screens. The only thing I’ve been able to find is the below link:

Is there any other way to fix this or better yet, is it possible to manually switch the display so that it is changed to show the outside temp? If I could get that to display I wouldn’t care about fixing the knobs as I never really used that function to see what time it was

Yes, I took mine apart, understood the mechanism, fixed the broken tab that rotates to change time with crazy glue. Still works. In my case, I found the broken part in the cluster. But I thought the piece was white, not black, like in your ebay link. Good luck. Get your smallest pliers out.
