Referral Request: Gauge Cluster Repair Service

I used Circuit Board Medics and would recommend them.

Another option is just swapping clusters. It's super easy to pull the EEPROM chip which holds the mileage/vin/programming off and hot-air solder the chip to another cluster. My daughter's e46 cluster stopped working and I was able to swap the chip to another cluster and popped it back into the car and everything worked perfectly as expected. No coding is needed.

Thank you, Maw - I'll do some research on them.

I should say, they’re also reasonable to talk to on the phone, will give you a sense of what goes wrong with them, what they end up replacing, etc. All classic and simple stuff as a general rule. It’s a computer board, what can go wrong? Solder, capacitors, what else? They know and don’t mind telling you what you’re paying for, may even be able to trouble shoot.

I sent mine off to Automotive Circuit Solutions to fix the ambient temp sensor problem. A bit pricey but I have a 100% cluster again and it seems they treated it with care.

Thank you! Appreciate the recommendation.

These folks are well known and used in Mercedes circles... https://www.programainc.com/item_lis...&idcategory=47

BMW M3 Instrument Clusters look like $270.

Hey Group - looking for a reputable company to send my cluster off to get the stepper motors replaced. Circuit Board Medics and Kassell Performance are the two I could find doing some researching on the forums. Anyone use a cluster repair company recently and have referral?

A business in Southern California that offers this service would be a huge bonus but I’m happy to ship it off. Quality work is my main objective.

Thanks in advance 🤝
