Hi all I have the basic speedometer that comes with the small lcd screen, I was thinking of upgrade to the 6WB cluster. What are the issues someone came across doing this and what’s the complexity. How difficult is the coding?

I attached an image of the cluster that I have.

Ah, I see. Easy upgrade, I installed it myself and coded in 10 minutes. Just make sure you get a new (virgin) unit and watch you tube videos on install and coding.

It's pretty much the same. There are MANY videos online if you want to find an F31 specifically.
