I dont know if this would help or not....i know my stock cluster (adjusted) the miles/kilos i drove testing out the RS cluster. You could try to see after driving a bit, that if the RS cluster adjusts the miles it just did right after starting up your car again....?
It's only incrementing 1/10 km every once in a while (like one or two per hour). I am thinking that the extra bytes are some form of security in the packet to make it difficult to modify the odo data.

That auto update is interesting. The ECM separately receives and stores the mileage, so the cluster must grab a delta from the ECM on powerup. So far I have identified one message from the ECM to the cluster and four from the cluster to the ECM (which send the ECM the indicator status).

Those extra bytes can be override somehow when the odo gets reflashed though....

Is there any companies in your area that do odo reflashing? I was thinking of paying you to get it reflashed by a company and do a trial run to see if the odo is functioning correct kilos/miles traveled.....

I can do it here through Speedo, but just in case there is any adjustments that need to be made to the cluster itself, it'd be easier and in your hands already to take a look at and do.... (just a thought)

The extra byte issue has to do with making it function correctly on a daily basis. The reflashing is completely different.
