Adaptation/replacement of the instrument cluster

Enable online mode. When replacing the instrument cluster, connect the Tester before removing the old instrument cluster and select the "Control unit replacement" function in the Guided functions. In this case, the required values are copied from the old instrument cluster to the diagnostic system.

After installing the new instrument cluster, all keys must be adapted.
