    I believe the ECU records the mileage. Should be able to 'pull' the mileage from the ECU and 'update' the cluster.

    Light Control Module records the mileage, not the ECU (DME). You will need software such as INPA to pull it though.

    both these parts were stolen from the car so the PO bought lkq parts to replace them and never coded them

    Mine is about 22,000 off from running a bad ABS cable. Wondering how to add miles.
