I know you had a new one installed which is how I knew it was possible and they were feeding me BS. I don't know whether they are simply ignorant or know enough to get themselves in trouble by telling me I would have to have it coded to my VIN and that they could not do it. They said they could not even order the cluster without a vin, so I would have to have a 'dummy' 1M VIN but they could not code it because my VIN would be different from the VIN they used to order it.
