Mercedes w203 cluster problem-shows -----

[kiszony11]

Hi,
I sold the cluster to the Mercedes w203 sport coupe.
Buyer wants to set the mileage 128000.
But he has got problem, because when he mounted the cluster, it's shows only ------.
I'm not a specialist in cluster adaptation procedures.
When I powered up the dash before sending it shows 128000 and after few seconds ------. It's normal without car.
How to help him?
I know that the cluster must be adopted to the car by star diagnose. Or maybe by another tool?
And I have second question- is it better to set 0 km in mercedes cluster's (not only in w203) or set mileage which buyer want (which method is easier to adopt cluster to the car?)

Just flash cluster with new miles will be fine

Set 0 km and adapt with star

That means that the better way is always set mileage in 0 km and the adopt by star. Than the cluster is like in new mode with 0 km and is easier to adopt.

Yes.
Or if you know SSID of EZS and where is located in dash file , then you can put SSID and km , and it will work.
It does not work on his car because the SSID is not same as EZS.

What chip that dash has?

I haven't got this cluster but I have from UK version. I will check it. It's probably 93c86.
All is hard to do, because I sent this dash to another country.
I have idea to sent to him chip with old eeprom but corrected to 0 km and he must to solder this chip. But this is the last option which I want to do.
Probably he don't know the value of SSID.
To do this he must set the mileage in 0 km and then adopt the cluster.
