the KIT comes with full fitting instructions - a printed 10 pages long manual plus a very detailed video (much more detailed than this one) that shows every single detail, including disassembly, needle removal, and so on.
Hey man, I need to get one fix and would rather pay you to do it. It is untested, I do not have the equipment like you do. I also have Jag's Hyundai, Toyota and GM for you to inspect or repair. Can you do it? You still around?

Dear Eedomer, tell me please if it is (254-001) original part number or duplicate? If not, tell me if it is possible to find real original ribbon cable from Siemens or VDO, or Blaupunkt?
@Eedomer I have this problem with my e38 under the radio where it shows your petrol consumption and radio channels etc,is it possible to get the silver cable thing for that area
How can you get the temperature gauge on the far right of cluster to reset? I put another cluster in and all gauges work except for that one going straight to HOT.
Usually I see this when the thermostat has failed. You can get it to return to normal by clearing the codes. And then when it happens again fix the issue by replacing the failed part.
