This means there is nothing wrong with the ECU output. I don't believe the AiM Solo DL sends any kind of electronic "receipt confirmation" to the source of the CAN data, so it appears you've touched wires in a way to upset the vehicle ECU to instrument cluster electronics. I'd substitute another cluster and see if it comes alive.

Have you removed all wires from Solo unit which you added before? does gauge cluster work with no solo wires in the system? Done; no, even after trying to clear the 'can timeout' and 'insturment cluster comms with can bus' erros with the durametric software.
ECU is working fine (it think it is like I said, but it could be working 50%, no?) you have issue with receiver from CAN bus in your instrument cluster CU. it is either fried CU in the instrument cluster (10% probability) or damaged wires/connector somewhere (90% probability - very low prob of damaged wires as I was super careful, no pulling , twisting etc.., v careful with solder)). it is just not easy to fry that CU but who knows. remove all wires you added and try car out without them.

i am not 100% sure but instrument cluster replacement may be tricky and also require immobilizer replacement. but i am not sure how it is done in 996 cars and to what degree those systems are linked to each other.
