    The ECU and a digital cluster operate independantly and should not effect each other. The digital cluster odometer reading is written into an eeprom and is not changed if the power is removed, the only way it will change is if it's rewritten by the digital cluster as your kms go up.

    A speedo bloke can adjust the kms ...some will need proof of the kms you want it to change to ...others dont care ....I bought a second cluster off a bloke on ebay who had done it and he had the system down pat and I had plans to get the one in my car changed too but he dissapeared overnight ....reckon he was from dodgy bros inc....lucky the cluster I bought was ok.

    If you have changed a L3 dash with a L3 dash and now have high K's - you can swap the trip computer over to get your k's back. Just be gental with the plastic.
