well...instrument cluster...issues...slk32
have alook at the latest posts of this thread....
need to know if the cluster needs repgorgaming to the VIN and/or car ECU or is it just a drop in and the ECU tells it all it needs to know (incl. total mileage)...etc...

Use advanced search 'JHM2K' and 'Cluster'.

Re: well...instrument cluster...issues...slk32
yes - thanks guys - I'll check with my indie mech. He may be able to do it ....for a small fee of course...
Regardless - I'm also counting on the mph cluster being configurable to the kph cluster....It should be - they wouldnt make these that different and drive their own costs up. The SLK32/SRT6 - different story.
At least the mph range (0-160mph) for the two vehicles is the same - I say this because one of the links refered to respanning the cluster to allow a180mph one....
Since - whilst the silk screened face is interchangeable as its only glued onto a clear plastic backing plate (it would be difficult to remove the silk screen film without wrecking it) the mph gauge would read wrong if you put a 180mph screen on in place of a 160mph screen unless you also had the span changed in the speed servo controller of the cluster - that's the main PCB bit. I suspect this might be a Star/DAS thingy.
So I'll have a go at the solder job - even if it means sitting down for a couple of hours with a soldering iron and using some shunt computer ribbon cable.
Otherwise - 32Krazy - I might have to PM you for a spare (0-160mph?) if I give up on trying to solder these ribbons back on. Whatever possesed me to tear them off...I dont know.
Least I know how to pull the entire cluster from an R170 apart (without breaking anything)...I'm sure that's a life skill I will cherrish....NOT!
