Well I've done it! My car now has the high series
digital dash. There's still some wires to re-connect ( temp sensor/SI reset/rear foglights/brake lining wear/diagnostic Txd/Rxd) but I'll do them tomorrow afternoon. The dash + coding plug I have installed was taken from a 535, so now I have speedo/ odometer/econometer issues. Will the coding plug from a 525 give me the correct readings, and will it fit the cluster? The dash is a 160mph type, with the coding plug in the back, not the "brown plug" type.

Here's a pic of the dash powered up (in my kitchen!),
before being installed in the car. I'll post a pic of the dash inside the car when it's daylight. www.geocities.com/stereowizard2004/Digidash.JPG If anyone can give me the HTML code so I can post a pic here, that would be GREAT!! Cheers, Shaun |
