    another coding plug question

    So I purchased a 325i gauge cluster, figuring the coding plug would be attached to it, where exactly is the coding plug, any pictures?? Would it work if i just swapped over clusters? or is there a chance the coding plug is external, and could have been removed from the cluster i got?

    thanks,

    -Abe.

          My coding plug was white and located in the lower right hand side of the cluster.

            What's the PN or date of the cluster you got? is the cluster's rear side white or blue?

                  Goto realoem.com, pick the right year/model and drill down to instrument cluster. it will show you the pn for the coding plug, compare it with the ones you got.
