Yeah, apparently that’s the case here too, and I’ll be going that route. I just thought it was ridiculous that I’d have to leave the there for a month and probably pay like $1k. Surely they have the equipment to do the transfer, no?
No, they don’t usually want to mess with odometers because of the liability. I think most manufacturers require that the cluster is sent to them in order to verify the correct mileage and then program a new one. There’s aftermarket tools for doing it on some models, others you can just dump an eprom with a cheap programmer, it just depends really.
