Instrument Panel SC430 2005
Morning all,
My wife left her phone on the pocket formed on the instrument panel central panel and then removed the keys. This resulted in the steering wheel retracting and pushing the phone through the plastic cover of the central panel and breaking the ODO meter digital display. I cannot find anyone who can replace this - any one have some ideas ?

Club Lexus vendor http://www.facebook.com/TaninAutoElectronix May have a repair solution for you. You should contact them. The plastic lens is an orderable part from Lexus. The LCD odometer may need to be a donor part from an salvaged combination meter. eBay has salvaged parts. Since the actual mileage is stored in a separate EEPROM just soldering in a new / old salvaged LCD odometer display would fix the problem.
Replacing the entire combination meter with a salvaged one but then whatever mileage is recorded on its EEPROM is what you’ll be stuck with unless you had the EEPROM reprogrammed to your mileage.
There are laws in the U.S. regarding falsifying mileage readings.

Here is a complete cluster https://www.ebay.com.hk/itm/02-03-04...AAAOSw1R1apCcw
Or just the plastic lens.

Since you need to change out the odo, I would go with the complete cluster
