Default Instrument cluster change

Still new at to this forum but have been to site many times and enjoy reading the posts and learning from you guys.

Anyway do any of you know if you can change the low series intrument cluster for the high series one without any hassle?

Would all the gauges work or would it need wiring up?

I have a S1 I6 by the way.

Thanks for your help

if you do a search you will find that it can be done but you also have to change the BEM module as the low series one is different than medium and high series which share the same module with some features disabled on med series.

High series cluster also uses an extra plug for odometer, R/H indicator & guage illumination. You will need to get a plug & tap into the cluster loom.

You don't need to change your BEM.

Because you have a Series 1, you need to find a Series 1 High Series Cluster.

Do a search on my posts. I've discussed all about this.
