I'm pretty sure that my guage cluster is toast, so i went out to the junkyard and bought a used one, from a '92 525iA. It is a new board design but all my connectors plugged in. I have two questions about my new guage cluster...

how exactly do i put my original miles on the odometer?

and

i get TRANS PROGRAM error on the display and the gear selection screen is a no show. it doesnt light up. So i drove my car around the block and i didnt feel that the gear selection has failed, it shifts as normal.
