Simply speaking if I buy a second hand set of clocks to replace my existing tempromental set will the mileage remain the same or reflect the mileage on the replacement set

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All
Hello everyone. I am a new member and would like your advice please
I would like to change my clock binnacle on my 2.7 986 boxster to a 3.2 s binnacle
I note that the 3.2 s has a max speed of 175mph and my 2.7 has a max speed of 150mph.
If I change would it show the correct speed I am traveling at and what about the digital speed display?
Has anyone done this, are there any other issues
Thanks for any advise on this
I've never heard of anyone doing this, nor do I believe it to be possible. There is a project for adding the Carrera Gauge cluster so if you found a whole boxster s cluster I'm sure you could swap that in without issue.
I believe he's actually writing about changing the whole cluster.
Some folks would call a speedometer a clock and maybe even a tachometer a clock.
In all the articles I've read about installing a 996 cluster, there hasn't been mention of a problem and surely they read to a higher speed than the 150 mph boxster.
It's surely the same digital input from wherever the speed sensor is and the cluster computes what it needs from that. It's not a mechanical cable.
Yes that's right I intend swapping my whole black 2.7boxster cluster for a 3.2s silver cluster and thought I'd check with you guys before I search through eBay
Just had a thought if I install a replacement binicle (set of clocks) will the displayed mileage be that of the new binicle has recorded or is my current mileage saved on the ecu and so will be transferred to the new binicle.
I don't want the replace the binicle and find a higher mileage is displayed
Simply speaking if I buy a second hand set of clocks to replace my existing tempromental set will the mileage remain the same or reflect the mileage on the replacement set
Anyone any idea
Thanks
The mileage displayed will be the one on the replacement clock.
You will to reprogram the EPROM to insert your actual mileage.
In addition, if your car is a 2003+, you will have to encode the VIN otherwise your radio will not turn on.
