hey guys
thanks for all the great info. ive got a cluster here that i've read the eeprom on, changed the values and written back to the chip.. now i just want to power it on the bench to have a look but im going in circles trying to work out how to power it up.
what pins need to be connected? it's an aussie VE series 1 - 8184-26140-04 mainboard

Here are a few VE Series 2 Cluster BIN files if anyone has a need for them.

Series 2 VDO / Continental BLACK back instrument clusters - It also "Appears" that some very late Series 1 VE's were fitted with the Black Back VDO / Continental Clusters.

All BIN files are as Downloaded from good working Clusters - The VIN numbers in the BINS have been deleted but the rest of the file is untouched.

ALL are programmed for 2012 VE SSV UTE , 6.0 Litre ( L77 LS3 ) , 6 Speed Manual ( TR6060 ) , Full Sat Nav ( All STD MY12.5 SSV Ute options )

Also as an FYI - Series 1 VE clusters when programmed with a Tech2 will work fine in a Series 2 VE , Only issue I've seen is with the Navigation Pop Ups in the Cluster the font's are not right in a Series 2 and size up funny and often with odd characters in the display - Other than that issue the Series 1 dash works fine in a Series 2 vehicle - I've used several Series 1 clusters in my car and all without any issues (AFTER they have been configured with a Tech 2 ) other than the NAV pop ups - If you don't have Sat Nav you won't see any issues.

Hi Guys,

im chasing some VE Series 1 ( White back ) Cluster bin files from a ute and wagon.

Does anyone have any..

I have over 50 sedan ones, but no ute or wagon

I need to flash these onto a cluster so i can test my VE Canbus tool im making..

Let me know what Engine / Drive train Etc options you want on it and I'll program up a Series 1 dash in the car and I'll extract a bin file for you.

I know its a bit of an older thread but i whipped up a quick app that will convert your decimal odometer reading to the hex value you require based on ZerOne's Calculations.

In all of the series 1 clusters that i've read, The value has been a division of 12.375
eg.
307700/12.375=24864.65
24865 dec2Hex => x06121

307700km
x06121

273301km
x05645

232792km
x0497c

79296km
x01908

- x07fff seems to follow odd numbers only
- calculator wont do over 300132km

Rather then strip my dash just to get the wiring colours, does anyone have the pin location for earth/power so i can power up my old dash cluster to check the km's?
