With this information, you can buy a $66 cable, downloaded the needed Excel document, and download the free software. Using this, you can program your cluster with it still in the car. All through the OBD2 port with a laptop.
You can program the:
- startup logo
- shut down message - last four characters MUST be numeric (must select HSV startup logo for this to work)
- shift light
You must have Excel 2007 or newer!
I have personally done this to my GTO and it works great. It is highly recommended that you learn how to back up the data from your cluster. I did not do this, only because I did simple things and did not experiment in to the areas of unknown. Guys are working to try and crack the programming to be able to do more.
I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS. OTHERS HAVE DONE THIS, I AM SIMPLY PASSING ON THE INFORMATION THAT OTHERS HAVE SHARED.
Work at your own risk.
Download the attached Excel spreadsheet. Follow the steps 1 - 5 clicking on the GREEN boxes / links for software and to buy the cable.
Follow the rest of the steps as outlined in the Excel document.
