So the instrument cluster on my 2000 decided to just stop working. 67K miles.

Indy says dealer must replace. $2700 for a new one plus 3 hrs to put in. Dealer says no used clusters.

I say DRAT !!! First of all, how the heck does an Instrument cluster fail on a premium automobile anyway? Second of all, why does it cost as much as a used VW (okay never mind - I think I know why) third of all... well I can't think of a third, the first two still have me too upset.

So whats the real word? Can a used cluster be installed and keyed into the computer? Any tips where to find one? Anyone else have this happen?

Very dissapointing !
