T4 cluster (instrument panel) programing

218VVC · 19th March 2011, 06:44

Got myself a new instrument panel and stalk to fit to my zt. I have a mate who owns a Jag garage in Derby and is willing to have a go at programming my new unit. He has what is called a Dec superscan machine and has never performed this operation before.
Plugged it into his machine last night and a whole raft of options came up.
The question are what do you actually have to programe or re programe for the unit to work? Will the mileage need programming or will it appear on it's own ( I want it to show original mileage not 000000.
Thanks in advance.

Not heard that it can be done on anything other than a T4 which will keep your current mileage

Sworks or anyone else do you no what elements you actually have to programe ?

I believe the mileage is kept on the light switch so would be unable to reset to zero anyway.

Take care on fitting as I have just recently had a new one fitted and was advised that if you drove 60 miles without it being programme then the computer in the car will think it is a used unit and not give you full functions.

Mine was fitted and then had to taken to X-parts for the T4 to programme it correctly. Now working and all is fine.

The unit has to be changed then all ecu's configured.
Not an awful lot of machines will perform all the functions what T4 does so your best bet is proper installation with a T4.

T4 links the unit to the car and codes it to all the other systems - not even sure if it can be done with anything other than T4
