Yep, when you swap clusters the miles will change. Good luck getting a dealer to reprogram a cluster. My dealer said they wouldnt touch it

I recommend just finding a used one on ebay with similar miles to yours. You could technically increase the mileage on a digital cluster with a power supply and signal generator to simulate the speed sensor, but it probably isn't worth the effort. I don't think the dealers can change the mileage either. How many miles are on your car? I have a cluster with 135K.
