Here are my recollections from 2 years ago when I did this mod. As a reminder, I had a perfectly working 986 cluster and purchased a 996 cluster with a bad LCD. I kept my 986 motherboard, so my mileage, VIN, and fuel gauge calibration stayed. There were two bits that I needed to change in order to enable the voltmeter and oil pressure gauges.
I tried to buy a less-expensive programmer, but in the end couldn't get it to work and bought the GQ.
I seem to remember the warning light layout had some differences between the two clusters. I'd have to dig through my pile to find the Carrera version and see what is different. I ended up putting the Boxster warning light template on the Carrera cluster.
Everything seems to work perfectly for me. I like to tinker and I don't like to pay dealers, so I saved money and learned a lot.
