Programming the Instrument Cluster
Good morning Mustang drivers,
my name is Daniel and I am from Germany. I'm driving a 2005 Mustang V6 and I am the first owner since beginning 2006 here in Germany. The car came as "new" with 154 miles from the U.S.. Carfax can confirm this. At the moment the car has 36Tmls on it (good weather car) and that can also be confirmed by all of my inspections and our official technical tests all 2 years here in Germany.
I have a problem with my speedometer and looked for a new one, but this is very expesive like gold. So I bought an used instrument cluster with the 6 gauges and a mycolor option from a 2006 Mustang. The only problem is, that this cluster has 56Tmls on it. So I would like to correct this. A fried of mine is an engineer at a FORD repairshop and he has the IDS/VDI (or so) and we used the "built in a programmable unit --> Instrument cluster". The programm read out the data from the original cluster, gave us a note to plug in now the new cluster and confirmed that the data has been assumed. But after switching off and on the ignition, the Odometer still shows 56Tmls. So I disconnected the batterie for a day and reconnected it. But no difference.
So you can see that I wouldn't do anything "illegal" and my original milage with 36 Tmls should be in other units in this car too, or?
My question is how can I get the correct miles to the odometer?
Best regards from Hamburg...Daniel
