I'd heard the same but thought (perhaps naively) it would have been defeated by now.

there is a couple of guys here in denmark that says so as well, but they will give it a try, but the problem is that there isn't a cable on the market today that can take that algorithm...

However now my skoda mechanic says that there might be a solution after all, if he installs the cluster in the car, and hock it up to skoda's net, it might just link the cluster together with the car, and he should be able to program it..

Do any of you now anything about the milage on the used cluster, something about that if the cluster have driven past a certain milages, that it wont be able to change it so it fits what the car has driven...

Yes, if the cluster has done more than 100km you won't be able to change the mileage.
