instrument cluster... again

I'll have to check my hawkeye and see if the same option is hidden in there somewhere. The nanocom is SO much easier to use and has many more features. You can sync the odometer to the bcu. You can even read the EKA code. It will sync keyless remotes with just the 6 digit code, etc.

Not sure. I'm at work and the nanocom and the disco are at home. If I remember, I'll try it tonight and see what it shows. If it works, you might be able to ship me one of your many clusters and maybe I can set it up? I'm not sure where the setting is saved... in the cluster or the BCU. Also I wonder if it will let me change the setting if there isn't an ACE computer to talk to.

So looking though the manual, it looks like the ACE computer provides ground. And there is a fuse that provides power. Might be worth checking if it hasn't been checked already.

On vehicles fitted with ACE an LED within the instrument pack is used to alert the driver that the ACE ECU has detected a fault in the system, providing the driver with a visible warning. The ACE warning lamp utilises an amber LED and a clear legend.
When the ignition is switched on the ACE ECU illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is no fault it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 13. The ACE ECU provides the earth path to illuminate the warning lamp.
The voltage on the earth path from the ACE ECU to the instrument pack has the following functions:
l < 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l > 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look. I did check all the fuses a couple days ago, but that's not to say that's not the case. Also, I would think if a fuse was blown causing that not to illuminate, it wouldn't work when I put my original cluster back in...

So it will change the settings. There are actually quite a few that are interesting. Some make sense like "gulf" to turn on the alarm for the over speed warning, I assume. There is one for "police" that I'm wondering what it does. Anyway, I'm not sure if these settings get stored in the cluster or the BCU, but they get stored somewhere.
I didn't actually change the settings in the video, I had already done that part.
