Thanks. I had it tied low for weeks working drivers. I tried high, read wrote and read correct changes, the key EEPROM IC900 at 16 bits. Subscribed to you and Dr. Shock. I used an old eprom plug and wires for the jumper to various pins on the USB bus.
Soon on craigslist: "Mint condition IS300 only 43k. Only driven to church every Sunday by a grandmother. Has loweing springs and CX turbo kit. One owner." Great video though :-) I will be doing the rear main seal soon on my IS300, I was going to take it to a shop initially but your previous video about it inspired me to do it on my own. I have a garage with a channel and you did it on stands. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this I was able to program my clocks successfully. To save modifying the programmer board itself, I ended up just cutting pins 3,7,8 from the board you make up so no voltage can come from the programmer. Then made a jumper wire from pin 8 on the board to the yellow 5v on the programmer. Also I found a way to change the end digit it’s a case of adding additional 0’s at the end of the mileage / just before the FFs, I’ve found that every 00 00 adds 1 to the end digit.
Dude you are so dope !! I had to get a new motor and was looking around for a cluster with only 45k miles and it's been impossible. So im gonna pick up this Amazon programmer and try it out. I watched your other video and changed my window switch leds, as well as the inside yellow lights for the climate control knobs, I already had swapped the bulbs for climate control and gauges but now ill be able to change security light color and also the Reverse and I believe Drive or Neutral light when going into gears. I'm slightly OCD so I love this kind of shit ! Keep it up and thank you so much for not having another generic "how to change climate control bulbs " which everyone should know how to do and is also fifteen million similar videos out there for. Much appreciated
Thanks for posting, but I think I see two errors and would appreciate confirmation so I can do this right: 1. @2:40 - 8-but goes from internal pin 6 to external pin 4. Ah, pin 5 is jumped to pin 4 so jumping inner pin 6 to outer pin 5 is the same as outer pin 4. OK, I understand now. This is correct. 2. @2:47 - No 16-but jumper is shown from inner pin 6 to outer pin 8. It looks like you solder the connector pins after installing the connectors to make this connection. How come you didn’t solder at the board level? This looks good, too. Alright, I worked myself into an understanding and your diagrams and pictures were correct. Thanks for posting this. I’m working through an all-keys-lost scenario and your videos are really helping me out. Edit - I bet you soldered 6-8 on top just in case you had 8-but work to do and need to desolder and resolver to pin 5 without taking the connectors out. Nice clear thinking.
Hey man! Love how you explained everything in this video! You made it possible for non-electrical people to understand. I have one question, My situation is kinda sucky and I’m doing the opposite, i bought a GX470 that supposedly had the low mileage that it says on the dash, but found out it has been swapped or reprogram from a much much higher number. I know I already made the mistake not checking thoroughly, but I’m looking to see if I could reprogram it back up to the original high mileage so I don’t get a “True Miles Unknown” title. Would this same exact procedure work for my situation? Or would I need to route the tap wires differently? Really appreciate what you do! Thanks in advance!
For the programmer, does that exact set up you made work for the IS250? 3:26 I see you did this on a recent vid. Also, do you have it in a PDF form to ensure I don’t mess up lol. Picked up a cluster to mess around with to swap LEDs and mirror my current millage if all goes good lol
I changed my cluster not knowing my car original miles would get changed i had 125k miles and my new cluster says 175k miles man im so butt hurt. Saw this vid and made me understand more but im no geek to do this reprograming.
@@TunerwithKids I also noticed in the part of your video where you show the software that converts the odometer value inside the software itself it looks like it's identifying the mileage as kilometers. Did you have to first convert your mileage to kilometers so that the output would be the correct number you needed?
Hi Bihn,YOU ARE AWESOME... yes this vid is useful, but over my head, you helped me in the past with my rearview mirror (installed a homelink compass, auto dim in my 98 Lexus ES300, ONLY the LS has it in similar early years ...I think), but I want to install the 2001 IS300 gauge cluster ( What a COOL looking cluster)into my 98 ES300, I know it will have to be physically modified ,I can probably do that, it's the ELECTRONICS that's over my head, do you have any idea on this, and/or could you do this as a CUSTOM job for me?

Hey Binh, trying to reset the key log on my GS300 with the other video you have posted, but I am a bit confused. Do I need to reroute 25xx to 93xx pins and do the 16-bit pin 6 to pin 8, or do I just do the 16-bit pin 6 to pin 8? Thank you!
Hey binh question. After you change the mileage, have you plugged the cluster in your car. Does the adjusted miles stay or does it show what the cars mileage is? Also, after installing and driving it have you tried swapping clusters again? I'm getting mixed answers, on forums they said swapped clusters will show cars mileage not adjusted cluster mileage. Thanks
Hey hopefully you can help. I had a question about the setup of the eeprom programmer. When you put wires 4, 5, and 6 through the middle holes of the board, how did you solder them and still have the pins going through? Any help would be appreciated.
The video was amazing! The only thing I’m confused about is what pins power on the cluster. Does anyone know??? The diagram shown only shows the power ground
What if I just have a regular soldering iron, can I just desolder the SMD chip and swap over? I plan on doing this soon, I'll try the programmer first and if no luck I'll try desoldering. I saw your post on the IS300 Reddit group, great DIY video btw 👍🏾.
You can swap the eeprom but need an air soldering iron. You’ll end up damaging the chip or the pad with a normal iron. The air soldering iron will make it a 10 second job.
@@TunerwithKids Thanks for the quick reply. I've never used an air soldering iron before, is it still needed for the modification to the blank Ch341 programmer board? Or I can just use the regular one on that? I want to make it this wknds project.
@@TunerwithKids do you think you can help me out with my mileage decoding 🙏🏾? I tried finding Tachosoft online but no luck. I tried to DM you on IG but don't think you've seen it. My current mileage is 109,027 please and thanks.
I'd be very interested to know the stats for how many people tried this & how many were successful. I made two adaptors, one from the bare board & another from the prepinned 25XX Adaptor & neither worked. I double & triple checked my wiring & scrubbed ALL the blue paste off that IC chip but I just couldn't get the program to recognise it. Considering the time & effort I spent arsing around with this I would gladly pay $300-400 for an OBD tool; problem is I haven't come across one that is guaranteed to work (including the XTool ).
