My 2003 996 center display has an intermittent problem so I thought it would be straight forward to buy a replacement part on eBay, but I’m being told the unit I have in mine is rare. Using the usual car identification brings up a part that does not fit in my car so I’m guessing a previous owner has switched something out. I’ve attached a couple of pictures, can anyone offer any advice on this.
if anyone knows where I can buy a replacement or why my car has what seems like a none standard part in it that
would be really appreciated.
I had a heck of a time finding a replacement middle screen for my 2003 Carrera with 6 speed xmission. Most of what is being offered are for auto xmission models up to 2002 MY. I ended up shipping my entire cluster to Best Pixel Repair (bestpixelrepair.com). Going forward make sure any screen you purchase is for a manual car with the mile per hour display on the smaller left side screen. Nothing else will work.
Nevermind, it's the part for early cars despite description.
Part appears to be NLA. Would bet that the repair services source it out of used clusters. Trying to find a used 2002-04 cluster cheap might be your only option, or sending it out for repair.

Not that I am saying you are wrong, but why does it matter what car the screen goes into? Doesn't the screen just display whatever information it is told to? I would imagine the signal is sent to the screen and the appropriate pixels light up. Just asking.
Scroll down and a pic shows the screen is not suitable for those clusters with the MPH displayed on the left small screen. This is also what Best Pixel Repair told me via telecon.

Hi W208 CLK Year 2000 RHD I've replaced the broken ribbons cables for the temperature gauge and clock (the left and right displays) on the the instrument panel but inadvertently broke the glass LCD on the center multi-function display. It looks as though this LCD plugs into the circuit board so I think this is replaceable? I can't find a replacement online so I was thinking of getting one from a breakers yard does anyone know if this would work? as I think I read somewhere that to just plug in a used instrument cluster it would need re-coding to be compatible.
I tried to address this issue about a year and a half ago. I even had a panel shipped to me for 75.00. Come to find out it was like yours and is welded to the board. In addition, it seems that there are many iterations of the cluster and not all are the same. Instead, I intend on sending my Turbo and Carrera clusters to Module Master. The Turbo has the issue where the oil level sensor reading fails. The Carrera has sun burn from living in Florida.
