im not sure if that would work, because the milage must be within 150 or so of your cars milage else you will just get the dashes, this would have worked if you swapped the boards when originally changing the clusters over as the milage would have been the same as your cars.

So based on this information - is the following correct assumption? If you swap the PCB from the original e55 cluster it would be plug and play from a used cls63 cluster?

I am throwing a CLS63 cluster in my car. Just send the 63 cluster to Jerry and he can set it to 0. He did mine

So how does the new dash display the oil temp. (where is the dash getting the info) ? And what about TPMS monitoring each tire vs. just showing low ?

I would love to put this on the list of to dos

The oil temp data was probably already there, since it all gets streamed in together on a low speed CAN line. The old cluster just didn't show it but the temp was always accessible with a STAR or OBD2 device.

You have to change a adaptation in developer from Linear to non Linear, otherwise when you are doing 160 the speedo will show 200mph.

You will be accurate up to 80mph after that the error will increase as you go to full travel of the speedo

What other data is readily available and able to be displayed on the dash (all the time) ? Oil pressure, oil temp, and voltage (I miss having these three) ?

I recently updated my gauges with set from an E63. Sure enough, up to 120mph its spot on (checked with a GPS), but from 120 up, its off as I expected. The old E55 160mph gauges go up by 10mph increments every labeled tick from 120mph, where as the E63 gauges go up by 20mph increments from 120mph. So I assume you use a Star programmer to make this "linear" to "non-linear" change? Do you need the developers version to do this and which menu item is it under within Star DAS to make the change?

Has anyone reset theirs with the digiprog 3? The problem with swapping the boards is you lose all the cool new features.
