    Hello!

    So I wanted to use my e39 cluster (2000, HIGH type) ror sim racing games. After I found out how to power the cluster, radio and ac unit, I found out that unlike the e36, the e39 has a CAN-bus cluster.

    So the question is: Is it possible, if yes, how hard would it be to swap the servo motors out, and power them using an arduino? I would like all the gauges to be powered. How would I go about doing that?

    Sorry. Never done anything like this before :D.

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,
    Szymon.
