Mine came with OBC. I noticed the part numbers can differ between 03 S clusters. I found one on Ebay with my exact part number but the seller was very proud of it, and so he remains. I found another 03 with a similar VDO and the part number ending in FHB as mine did so I picked that one up. I also picked up new green blue and grey connector cam locks as mine seemed to be made of hardened play dough.

A word to anyone removing the cluster, the cam lock covers on the 3 connectors might break, no biggie, they are available new or contact Woody who might have good ones, and his prices are embarrassingly reasonable.

Those cam lock covers are likely to be brittle as hell due to age. Mine were and practically crumbled when removing the connectors when doing the OBC hack. Put everything back together, and the cluster works, but I have it on my list to get new replacements.
