Carrera Gauge Swap

[hemonu]

I do have a PST2 not the newer PIWIS as the dealers have today. It is true, that instrument cluster would nor be found during an automatic scan, but it still would be possible to manually select a 996 cluster, which is installed in a 986 and vice versa. In the coding section for the cluster there are option for OBC and cruise control, but I don't remember options for the voltmeter and oil pressure gauge. I think those are part of the basic firmware of the cluster. So the correct way would be to read the firmware of the 996 board, modify it with your VIN, mileage and car type and then flash it into the 986 board. So you may have to look for another EPROM programmer with can handle the eeprom on your 986 board or you may be stuck.
