Hello everyone,
I'm on a new weird project about replacing Grande Punto Instrument Cluster with the new Fiat Punto EVO ones. Both are almost the same thing, the connector is exactly the same, the controller/ inside are bit different (version is newer but it is recognized), sizes are lightly different (EVO ones is a bit bigger but almost fits, but you need to remove some plastic parts)... But incredibly, "IT WORKS!".
Yes, I said "IT WORKS!" because 99% works out of box, just replacing the instrument cluster (Full LCD display, Background Light, Errors, Blue&Me, Radio, Configuration Menu, turn signal indicators, Temperature, door indicators, light indicators,...) and the best: RPM Counter, Fuel meter and Temp Meter WORKS! but the other 1% percent are some stuff that really annoys, CITY MODE Indicator doesn't turns on, Speedometer does not work nor Kilometer counter (LCD with Kilometers blinks) I found that there is TWO Faults, one that says something like:
"NO BODY COMPUTER - MISSING MESSAGE - LAST TEST PASSED UNSUCCESSFULLY - ERROR PRESENT".
and other from engine that says:
"(NO ENGINE (MCU)* - MISSING MESSAGE - LAST TEST PASSED UNSUCCESSFULLY - ERROR PRESENT".
*I am not sure if it says "(MCU)", but if is not, it is something similar.
Manually, with AlfaOBD, I have checked if speedometer is damaged or not, but messages from OBDII with ELM327 works with no problem, so ALL instrument cluster works properly (as itself, not along with the car due to those faults) and it is not damaged.
I think that I need to make a Proxy aligment, get a new Fiat Code Card form Fiat dealer (in Spain 48€ + taxes, like +21% of the price), insert the code before make a new Proxy aligment, and then do it, am I right?
Thanks in advance!
