Thanks. This was very helpful. I have got my S3 XR dash now working in my S3 Forte.
Just did the odo light fix.
Only problem I had, was when I did the wiring to get the odo back light working, ended up activating the Smartshield. Couldn't start it.
Not sure why. Pretty sure I followed the instructions.
Maybe coincidental. I have snipped out the odo light wiring and had a locksmith reset
BEM.
On the bright side, I now have a spare key.
