Title: MID display swap?
Post by: froezen on 11 March 2009, 16:42:56

Would a MID from a 2.0 Omega work in my 2.5 v6 Omega assuming the plugs are the same (it's an early 2 plug type). Or, would it need re-programming for the engine size difference?

Thanks for any pointers :-)

Would need reprograming (assumming it fits).

MID's need following info:

Engine type,
Gearbox,
Wheel size,
and anything Ive forgotting to mention.

Cheers.

You get across to york meet in early May (even if just for day trip :y), and save on the postage.  York meet - see Meetings section

Right, took my mid out and cleaned the ribbon cable contacts where they connect to the circuit board (after de-soldering the button connectors).

Thought i'd done a good job right up to the point where I was re-assembling it all and I cracked the LCD  >:( goddamit!!

I put it back in the car anyway to see what happened. The backlight no longer works, and part of the screen is blank. Other parts work better than before so if I hadn't cracked the glass I may have cured it  :-[

Soooo, anyone got a MID (90 379 234) from a 2.5 v6 cdx auto?
