Thank you for the reply, does accessing the Eeprom needs some kind of special tool?

Remove cluster from car.
Open the cluster by removing torx screws.
Turn needles in anti clock rotation while pulling up.
Remove the tacho plate, on the PCB there is an EEprom chip.
You will need SOIC clamp ( if you dont want to de solder the chip)
If you are going to remove it with an iron USE FLUX!
Best way of removing is having a blower station.
The tool needed "USB Programmer CH341A Series Burner Chip 24 EEPROM BIOS Writer 25 SPI Flash"

If you dont have the soldering skills, take the board to some SMD repair place, or a phone repair place and ask them to remove the chip for you.
