I *think* gauge cluster has to get coded to ecu and immobiliser. otherwise immobiliser won't let ecu start engine. that's a job for someone with Porsche computer (piwis or pst2).

You have a lot of variables going on. To see if it is the new dash, you might put the old one in to see if it starts, and who knows, if it was a poor connection the old dash may work again.

Question

Particlewave,

What do you mean by eprom? Is it a software program?
Where can it be purchased?
