Hello again, I got my instrument cluster, I already changed my steering wheel for the 12 button set . But whene I connected the new instrument cluster, the rpm didn't work , the fuel gauge also and I got a tempomat error.
The speed and everything work fine ( beside the mileage.)
the cluster is from a 2014 E classe. Can anyone help me solve it ?

Done , I manager to switch from the ugly classic cluster to the color one.

To that


I hade to recod the the cluster with the help of a freind to do km correction. You have to get the upper side of the old cluster fitted on the new one. But be carreful as you may need to cut off the small cover at the bottom as It will block the speed needle.
The steering wheel didn't need any coding. Backlight and all button fully working exept paddle.
if you need any help pm me. The mercedes community is not very helpful ! some will ask for money in exchange of informations or ask to buy the cluster from theme.
the cluster cost me 60euro and a bottle of whisky for the coding . Steering wheel 230 euro with airbag.

Unfortunately no, but whene you take off the housing of the old one and put it on the new one. You will notice that it bloque the circulate gear of the speed teller. So you need to cut some plastique from it so the circle can spine.

Bump! What coding needs to be done in order for the fuel gauge to communicate with the rear SAM? Also backlights don’t work on the radio when new cluster is plugged in...thinking it’s also rear SAM coding related.

HI , how did you retrofit the Memory switch to the driver door? How did you get the memory function to work because one of connecters to the control module under driver seat is different than the non memory power seat.

Was any modification needed to make the Comand headunit from W212 fit the W204? I wonder if these are also less prone to peeling?

Correct coding have to be done in the ic204 not the rear SAM.
Got my issue fix with coding using Vediamo.

[QUOTE=Adamkn;7495013]Gata, am gestionat să trec de la clusterul clasic urât la cel color.



a trebuit să recod clusterul cu ajutorul unui prieten pentru a face corectarea km. Trebuie să montați partea superioară a grupului vechi pe cel nou. Dar fiți atenți, deoarece poate fi necesar să tăiați capacul mic din partea de jos, deoarece va bloca acul de viteză.
Volanul nu avea nevoie de codare. Iluminare de fundal și toate butoanele care funcționează complet, cu excepția paletei.
daca ai nevoie de ajutor da-mi un pm. Comunitatea Mercedes nu este de mare ajutor! unii vor cere bani în schimbul de informații sau vor cere să cumpere clusterul de la temă.
clusterul m-a costat 60euro si o sticla de whisky pentru codare . Volan 230 euro cu airbag

Cool !! I need help ! Can you help me with thats?? I want to make the same !
