Have tried for weeks trying to change mileage on my premium cluster and no luck. Emailed Alfa and they said there’s a bug in software still that won’t let you change mileage. Update is unknown but Alexey said they’re working on it. They sent me a Windows version to try and I hope it works as I have to take truck to dealer soon. Don’t have a laptop so I will have to take desktop computer outside to try this. I guess they can void my warranty if the mileage is not right? Air conditioning not working.

Worse case scenario put your old cluster back in and alfaobd shouldn't have a problem changing the mileage on the 3.5" cluster

I don't know if everyone's under the impession that the cluster is the only place the miles is stored but it is not.

It's stored in the ECM, TCM, BCM and cluster at a minimum.

Worst case scenario explain to the dealer what you did to your cluster and ask them to look in the ECM, TCM and BCM for verification of real mileage.

When you change it in the cluster it does not change it in the other modules.

Having the same issue. I tried the Windows version today with no luck. Hoping that the update is out some point this weekend so that I can finish the install.

I was able to update the hours to match my old cluster. I tried to write my VIN on it, which succeeded, but still didn't make a difference with the mileage.

Are you able to change the mileage at all? Mine would change to the most random values. Right now I have it set to 0 so I could probably drive it and do simple math but I'd rather just do it all at once.

I am getting really good at swapping the clusters back and forth while this gets worked out.

Let me know if you have any luck.

The ONLY way the mileage would change for me. Had to put desktop in truck for maximum Bluetooth bs. Started in the porch, then moved it to stairs, then to a table beside truck. Still would not work, and finally,as close as I could get to OBD...then I was finally able to correct mileage and hours. I didn’t let it sleep but for a few seconds. 8C48F7F3-36FA-4888-BABA-10872802F26B.jpeg
