S instrument cluster on base 986?

Any good company will transfer the VIN, also. If you do/did it yourself, then the VIN is included in the file transfer.

It's not a must, but if it is checked and the stored VIN doesn't match your car, it could throw up some red flags. If you had someone else do it and you just told them what mileage you want it set to and you are even a mile off, it will not match the mileage stored on other units (conflicting info on whether the mileage is stored elsewhere vs operating hours, but it surely is)...more red flags and possibly worse. Misrepresentation of vehicle mileage is a felony. If they didn't ask for the old and new cluster to transfer your files, then they did it wrong.

If it were me, I'd just copy and transfer the entire file. This is standard procedure for the DIY.

I wasn't aware that the VIN was stored in the cluster much less that it could be transferred. I was very diligent in documenting the cluster swap with photos and documentation from ODO-Pro showing the requested change. With a low mileage car that has had the cluster upgraded (replaced) there are red flags all over the place. With my efforts, CarFax and some other sources I think I am covered.
