Mine failed 1 1/2 years ago. A little different than your problem, in that on mine all the lower parts failed (odometer, etc, but the gauges still worked). Had to order a part from Germany and it cost about $1500.

You were messing with getting a ethernet ODB cable connected to a router to use bimmercode phone app. Did that have anything to do with cluster stop working? Did you do any programing or coding? When did the cluster fail? Did you run any cluster diagnostic test with ista+? You also had a weak battery, did you ever replace it, cause if the battery is bad, you're chasing your tail

you have great memory!
I was able to get the enet cable work on wifi connection. Bought a new battery from dealer and registered. but the problem is still there. I also did diagnostic test. Here are some results in attached file.

Some tests I have done and tried
(1) Fuse: all fuses are good.
(2) Brand new Battery (made 4/21). Removed battery and fully drained, than reconnected. Problems are still there.
(3) System test. All good
(4) Code: No, I have not done any of them.

I also found the language won't go back to English anymore once I changed once. Only French and Spanish.

Thanks,

When my cluster went out their first thought was a software issue, so they reprogrammed it. That didn't fix it.

The digital items in the bottom half stopped working. So no odometer, MPG, etc. Though the gauges still worked. Ended up getting a replacement cluster from Germany installed.
