Try Aliexpress a new Clip for the programmer or breakout board. then any electronic repair shop could place it on transfer it over and you can reprogram it. If you bring a laptop to reprogram it they may just charge you the hour. or order and program a new rom and then have the shop swap it.   or they make mileage correction tools for $150.   does freeSSM do mileage?     Or you could just tin some wire and attach it to the chip or points like the picture while it’s still on the board. Since you are only doing on leg at a time it won’t move. And looks like 4 or the 6 point are via holes. just heat the solder on the wire and then touch it to the board. No need to put soldering iron to the actual component until you need to remove them.      does the counter go around at 999999 or get corrupted?

Hey guys, I've recently done a '15 WRX odometer/cluster swap into a Levorg and need to sort the km's out. I have had a bit of a look at the 93C76 chip on the back but realized my clip tool won't quite get it and my clunky soldering iron/shakey hands have no hope of transferring the chip onto a breakout board or similar.   I am thinking that to send the cluster off to someone who has a hot air soldering station and an idea of how to read/write binary files is probably going to cost an arm and a leg. Has anyone had this done? Idea of cost? And where?     I was wondering if I could instead, simply send a PWM signal into the cluster for a few days (300kph, more?) in order to let the km's slowly accumulate upwards. (I could add 7,200 km per day, so would have the change completed within the week)   Has anyone done this before? Bonus points awarded for anyone who has a cluster pinout and knows the voltage for the speed signal.   Cheers

Gearbox oil change yesterday with my 4 year old while my 1 year old was napping. Took off the intercooler to make my life easier for the filling. "Hmm that's a bit more oil than usual, better start saving for a new turbo" Got the funnel in the Gearbox fill point. Pour the oil in at a glacial pace so it doesn't burp everywhere. All good ~3L changed just like last time (5MT).  "I'll just check that PCV valve....Ah buggery" When I did my turbo inlet swap in February I must not have seated the line from the tee to the PCV valve in properly and it has been disconnected with the line venting to atmosphere and the turbo inlet. I haven't exactly stayed off boost but it explains the bit more smoke I was getting when sometimes getting on it. If I have melted a piston I haven't seen any evidence so I will call it a lucky break. 

Bad news if you have a Cobb plug in tuner etc. I’d be keeping it offline and not updating anything. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/united-states-reaches-agreement-cobb-tuning-products-clean-air-act-violations https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/cobb-tuning-products-llc-clean-air-act-settlement The consent decree contains the following compliance requirements:  COBB Tuning is prohibited from manufacturing, selling, offering to sell, or installing any aftermarket defeat devices.
