I have a 2002 V70 and would like to fit a 2005 DIM (0L85D with green connector). My car currently has a DIM with the 3K91D MCU (also green connector). I read that this should be possible with the right software. Sadly I already bricked one 0L85D dash by writing the whole flash image from the original one (I wasn't aware that it had a different MCU). I'm using carprog with the A1+ adapter for programming.

I guess I only need certain address ranges from the original image. Could somebody give me a hint which address ranges in the 0L85D I need to keep and which ones need to be overwritten with the image from the original 3K91D?

There was a post a few years ago from @porter77 that says and shows that this should be possible.

Why not just swap gauge faces and leave the control boards/cases alone?

That’s the best solution...

Only have to do this soldering action...

You guys are awesome, thanks for your replies!
I didn't want to just swap the gages because my original cluster has incandescent bulbs and I am worried a conversion won't look as good as the factory solution (bright/dark spots). Also the 2002 clusters are prone to breaking and I thought an upgrade would also solve this potential issue. And also just flashing the right software would be much more convenient 😀

Can you recommend any specific LED lights to replace the incandescents inside my old DIM?
