I read this whole thread, is there an end all answer for this?
I'm reading "discon the battery first and it'll work" then "that doesn't work" then "the dealer can do it" then "the dealer can't do it"

What's the actual answer here??
I'd sure love to have a tach, on the cluster on my 08 manual...

The final and definite answer is it can only be done by someone with specialized equipment to reflash the EEPROM on the module. It can't be done by disconnecting the battery and it can't be done by the dealer. I have the equipment and offer the service, if you track one down.

CT, I'm thinking about doing the swap to the type S to get the tach. If I did this what would flashing the mileage include? I.e. do I need to send it to you with my old cluster or something and how much would you want?

You would just have to send me the new one (and shoot me a pic of your current one with its current mileage). I charge $40 + return shipping to reprogram them.
