Info needed on replacing instrument cluster for a tiptronic Boxster

[cintoboxster]

Hi there,

I'm replacing the instrument cluster out of my Boxster because according to my mechanic, the original one got fried for whatever reason. He plugged in another cluster and everything worked, except the Speedometer, he told me that it didn't work becasue his instrument cluster would need to be programmed to my car. Is that true? He told me I could buy a used one and use it. I found one with 60,000 miles for a $400. Is that a good deal? My car has 19,500 oroginal miles on the old ODO. I found this place called Palo Alto Speedway that will reprogram the miles, so that is not a problem. My question is, is there anything else that needs to be done to it besides reprogramming the miles? Does the VIN # of the new instrument cluster need to match the VIN # stored in my DME, immobilizer, etc?
Thanks! Any help appreciated!!!

Your local Porsche dealer should be able to reprogram everything for you at no cost with the PSM2.
