Interior / Instrument cluster coding plug question

« on: November 17, 2009, 09:16:25 AM »

So I finally got some time to pull the cluster out of the car to swap the coding plugs and found out that they are not compatible.  The newer clusters have a circuit board at the back of the cluster where the older coding plugs go in.  So I guess now its time to buy a new coding plug.

Can either of you (or someone) hook me up with the part number off of the coding plug on the front of the cluster.  I'm thinking that the cluster may have been replaced previously and that may be an M10 plug.  I know I've seen that plug for the M10 clusters.

Edit - I pulled the part number 62111394321 off of realoem.com.  Can anyone tell me if this is the correct number?  They showing it going in the front for a 91 318i.

Interior / Instrument cluster coding plug question

I just put an instrument cluster from a 325i in to my 91 318i and am unsure what to do with the coding plugs.  

The 318 cluster has this coding plug:


And the 325 cluster has this plug:


And the 325 cluster has this over where the 318 plug would go:


So I'm guessing that I knock out the cover on the 325 cluster and put in my 318 plug.  My question is do I take out the 325 coding plug or leave it in the cluster.  Thanks in advance.
