LOL spend $3k to jack a $2800 Dodge Journey.
I bet you cannot even say "Dodge Journey" without cracking up. Try it. It sounds like something Richard Gere does with hamsters.

@svtfocus2cobra and @Junior00
If I wanted to change the cluster in my 08 z06 and have the mileage be legit is it something that needs to be done by a dealer or is it possible to do it myself
Yea I don’t want to change the pcm I just want to change the cluster and marry it to the car if that’s even still possibleFrom my experience, you can swap out clusters and at the most you need a scanner that can marry it to the vehicle which isn't all that hard except I don't know which of the cheaper scanners can do it. The shop scanners are usually $3-4k and have a lot of functions in them so at the most you may have to take it to a shop that can program it and marry it to the vehicle.
I was going to give @Junior00 the benefit of the doubt and concede that maybe it was something I have never come across, but there is something that contradicts what he is claiming. Scanners are for the most part read-only devices. They can initiate tests and activate various parts of the vehicle, but the one thing they can't do is rewrite an PCM so no, it won't actually work. The scanners will require you to put in the vin and mileage but that does not mean you're changing the vin or mileage on the car, and if you do so you will likely run into major issues and get locked out of performing any further functions because the scanner won't recognize the PCM if you give it the wrong vin. Yeah, there may be a video and people saying it is possible, but once I remembered the simple fact that scanners are basically read only means it isn't possible. To reprogram you will need a laptop with the manufacturer programming software and a Pass Thru Pro or similar J2534 device to connect from the laptop to the car.
The guy in the video is not demonstrating how to change the vin on the car to the one that is on the PCM. When you install a used or new PCM there is typically a range of vin numbers with the same part number for a PCM so you have to match your vehicle's vin to the correct part number, and so the vin number from the previous car is not their to trick the car into thinking it now has a new vin but to confirm, or for the scanner to confirm (because they likely have the information built in for ease of use), that the PCM will match the one you just took off your own car.
Swapping a PCM and guage cluster are two entirely different functions when it comes to reprogramming, and the actions are not interchangeable between the two if that makes sense. They require two different devices, but it is possible that this Autel device carries a limited reprogramming ability because that is what these companies are trying to do with each new device. They're trying to make it all in one, but as of right now there are some functions that simply can't be done without the actual software or even the dealer's software depending on brand.
Changing a cluster on a newer car is a simple function that can usually be married to the car with a scanner, but changing a PCM on most cars requires manufacturer software on a real computer and a J2534 device like I stated before.

Na I know. Information is knowledge so it’s all good. I also have a Canadian car with a metric cluster and I bought an American cluster but to be honest after driving the car with he HUD and speedo in standard read out it’s honestly not terrible. The speedo gets recalibrated by the car to display correct mph on the analog cluster. I just have to get used to the oil pressure being in kPa and not psiIt certainly is, but to do it yourself you will need a scanner that has the function because not all of them have that function, or you will just need a shop or dealer to marry it for you.
Sorry, that long reply wasn't directed fully at you but just about the conversation that was going on.
@Fjohnny^^^^^^Missed the non disclosure in his ad about the interior?
Maybe u should familiarize yourself with the whole story before making assumptions.
OK, so maybe he could've trailered it to Carlisle and taking 600 miles off the total mileage of the car leaves him 300 + miles off what the car should have for mileage.
Would u buy a car with more miles on it than what is shown in the cluster and taking the seller's word on what it has for an interior?

Guy is like a crazy ex that can't let go.This is insane.
No one gives/will give a **** about a 300 mile discrepancy on a car with 25K miles on it.
For $100k asking price they mightThis is insane.

It's stated in the first post, did u read it?
Min. 300+ most likely 1100+ depending on the Carlisle factor.
Again.... Why go through the trouble for 1100 miles? If you going to turn back the miles, turn them back to something that would actually make a difference. Just my opinion
