M3 cluster, remove DSC light, change VIN, increase mileage?

[nextelbuddy]

So no tamper dot but it shows a higher mileage than you actually have?

My car has 165k miles and so did my LCM.my m3 cluster was from a 2002 car and has 137k miles. It was no way for me to get the cluster to read up and change to get 165k miles. So to get rid of the tamper dot. I had to change the miles in the LCM down to 137,000 to match the cluster

Unless Terra knows about something special or specific requiring the use of a certain type of cluster I don't think it really matters I mean in my car I was able to code out all the lights and everything works DSC light is out and it works properly. I have no warning lights everything seems to be good.

There is a way to VERY quickly increase your mileage iot get it right. I'll see if I can find it and PM you.

That would be awesome!

I got my car inspected last year with 165k and in August of this year have to go back and it's not going to be good if my cluster has less mileage.

I was under the impression the Motorola M35080 chip needed to be programmed to 0 miles or swapped out with original chip? But then again, I'm still learning...

Not many enthusiasts have the capability of doing this. I only know of Terra that can do it... don't know who else.

Theres an 02 M3 Cluster near me for 100. Higher mileage than me. Should I pick it up?

i havent heard from ELCID86 on this method of getting the Mileage to go UP and i dont eve know if that applies to going down.. im gonna say probably not.

how much higher? i would look for something slightly less than yours but not much if possible.

if you get it, keep in mind that the 2002 clusters aka 22H code need one thing to get illumination to work properly.. the 23H clusters illuminate via the Can bus system where as the 22H clusters need power via a wire.

i have that info in this thread.

Just trying to narrow down my search criteria. So higher than 2002 and less miles than mine.

do you care about having to run a separate wire for illumination like I did? if not then 22H is fine and run the wire like in my post.

if you do care then yes you need to find a 23 H cluster which are usually 2003+

Not necessarily. I wonder if theres anything to do about a cluster with higher miles. If necessary, I would be capable of desoldering the EEPROM.
