W203 Cluster upgrade

Can I swap out the cluster from the faclifted w203 into my 04 C240, do they use the same plug?

I found a used one on ebay for 250 from a 2006. would I have to remove the entire dash or is there a simpler way of removing it?

Topic been visited and discuss and attempted. Can be done and someone actually did it, but the cost in making it work is way too much to consider.

As a matter of fact, I had that thought before too. Didn't go very far with that though, other than selling it in the end and get the facelift version car. Then your needs will be resolved.

The cluster has to have less than 1k miles or something like that to be able to be reprogrammed for another car ... otherwise you have to buy a new one
