I’m sure this topic has been covered more than a few times. I’m having issues on my 2000 2.7 manual Boxster with the LCD readings. I have tried to replace the LCD displays several times and have had poor results. If I buy a used instrument cluster and install it will the odometer read the true miles of the car?  If not how can I get it right?

You will need to check your state's laws.

In California you must go to DMV and sign a document stating the "real" mileage and the new mileage on the new/used odometer. Also, stating that you will give this information to any buyer.

So if the mileage is stored on the instrument cluster PCB is there a chip that can be swapped over from the original to the new cluster it keep the mileage correct?
