or illuminates only when you change coding plugs from the original.

It only lights up when the odometer reading is reprogrammed, like when someone uses one of those U.K. laptop-based interfaces to reset the mileage to anything they want.

Swapping the coding plug or instrument cluster will not cause the dot to illuminate as there's nothing to notify the coding plug that it's in a different vehicle.

Cheers,

David
