Yes i did but it doesnt say about the most connector that is needed.

Attached is the cluster that i was told that i need a "most connector" for it. But i cant find the part number and where to install it

Check if your headunit have MOST output or not. If there is then all you need is to buy a most cable from eBay. If not you might have to replace your headunit.

I can see you have bkombi it doesnt have most connector. Therefore,you need both_ cable and connector.

Also, as Willywi said, if your headunit doesnt have most connector, you need to replace it for one with most connector (huentrynav or nbt headunits have most connector)

Hi scoopy, if you remove the instrument cluster it’s very easy to check, There should be green with black connector in cluster. My car is 10/2011 and I had the optic cable already installed in cluster.

Well i have the optic cable already and just waiting for the plug like that in your pic. When i checked at the back of the cluster its a plug without any slot for the most connector. Basically will just connect the most connectir from headunit to cluster and code it right?

Vo code head unit using FA with 6b added (Fa from F15 or F10) after that read ecu. It should appear.
